Nice one OP. You failed to realise that the rabbit should be a pyschopath, not a sociopath. Sociopaths are only concerned about their own wellbeing, while psychopaths have little to no emotions, and would frequently commit crimes.

Well maybe the fox is a psychopath and the rabbit saw him as a threat.
User avatar #50 to #22 - regentdoku **User deleted account** (11/26/2012) [-]
Actually sir, you've got some things twisted. Both sociopaths and psychopaths are concerned only with their well being, though psychopaths are more outward with it where sociopaths can act normal and use their lack of empathy to be very manipulative. Sociopaths also commit crimes constantly, as it is a disorder characterized by disregard for social conformity and rules applied to them by other people. Both can and are frequently violent, the difference being that sociopaths are more scheming and calculating while psychopaths are more impulsive and erratic. However, don't think that this means sociopaths can't be short tempered as well, because they can react violently to threats in a similar way to psychopaths.

The biggest thing to understand here is that both cases can vary in both severity and violence, and we deal in "tends to" with mental disorders a lot.

In short: both lack compassion for others(concerned for only themselves)
Both lack many emotions. Sociopaths tend toward self fulfillment and psychopaths lean toward having dampened emotions and being materialistic
Both commit crimes often due to a lack of empathy and both can be violent. Both would be plausible for Rabbit's case.

Carry on.

Why is it always naturally assumed sociopaths and psychopaths are always violent and commit crimes on a regular basis?

Psychopaths more so than sociopaths are the evolution of the human mind, you people should be in awe.
User avatar #77 to #74 - daentraya (11/26/2012) [-]
Movies shows that psychopaths are insane homicidal fucks. Most people arent even aware of what a psychopath really means. Thats why.
Evolution of human mind? We evolved this far and got so clever because of social behavior. Our intelligence are a product of us having time and safety to develop all these skills, and so we need more time to take care of our young. Working together and communicating is, like ants, a great factor in our mental evolution and thus our spread all over the dahm place
User avatar #84 to #77 - roflcopterkklol (11/26/2012) [-]
Yes, but we are at the time in society when we would benefit more by logical thinking minds than emotional ones, as it is all the emotional people will not let depopulation happen because it is immoral but it is something that needs to happen in the next 50-100 years.

Do not get me wrong i am not saying go hitler on the jews, more along the lines of restricting the amount of children people are allowed to have and only those with a strong genetic history being allowed to breed.
User avatar #88 to #84 - daentraya (11/26/2012) [-]
I like logical thinking, and i agree that our population growth preferably should be around -1% for some decades or longer. Emotions is, i think, what makes people think theyre alive, and what they enjoy and such, so taking that away would make life a bit lacking. I'll go watch some Spock.
I think getting around this problem with logic and emotions is the best way. We could go all china on it, but with both genders.
User avatar #89 to #88 - roflcopterkklol (11/26/2012) [-]
That is the thing i do not understand, how could emotions that only interfere with your thought process possibly make you happier?

it would be frustrating and infuriating, how can you think clearly with your mind distracted left right and center by emotions that are interfering?
User avatar #90 to #89 - daentraya (11/26/2012) [-]
Uh.. But happiness is an emotion. People like happiness. And luv. And beating the shit out of each other. And.. Excitement. Living. Doing things on impulse and stuff. Carpe diem.
I dont really know..

uh sociopath's have NO emotion, either that or they fake it. i know from experience and practice
User avatar #56 to #47 - thisotherdude (11/26/2012) [-]
Sociopaths have emotions, they just feel them at a very decreased levels.

...So how's the eighth grade?
User avatar #38 to #22 - snakefire ONLINE (11/26/2012) [-]
I'm a psychopath and the most I do is swipe something thats not mine every now and again

I even return it most of the time so....

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't that kleptomania?
User avatar #41 to #39 - snakefire ONLINE (11/26/2012) [-]
Well I was diagnosed with psychopathy and Im not sure what kleptomania is but... I think I'd trust the doctor
User avatar #57 to #41 - thisotherdude (11/26/2012) [-]
Kleptomania basically means you get a thrill out of stealing stuff even if you didn't want it.
User avatar #61 to #57 - snakefire ONLINE (11/26/2012) [-]
but I dont.

I dont get a thrill out of it and I dont take things I dont want/need
User avatar #58 to #57 - appleboom (11/26/2012) [-]
I think it's more of the impulse. Someone can still have that thrill if they do it, but not have self control issues about it.
User avatar #36 to #22 - bulbakip (11/26/2012) [-]
so what separates narcissism from sociopathy?
User avatar #68 to #36 - makethingsworse (11/26/2012) [-]
A Narcissist feels emotions just like any other person. Though they are incredibly self-centered people. A Sociopath only cares for their well-being and experiences little to no emotion whatsoever. I was diagnosed a Sociopath by my therapist at age 6. I am currently taking classes in Psychology and Nursing so that I can become a therapist. My therapist finds this ironic because I lack the ability to care about people, but I can fake it.

do Autistic people tend to have sociopathic elements? What do you know about autism? TELL ME THE WAYS OF YOUR BRAIN
User avatar #99 to #98 - makethingsworse (11/26/2012) [-]
Yes they do. Mainly because they can't recognize other people's emotions. I recognize others emotions, I just lack any sense of empathy. I see my mother crying and I tell her to stop, for example.
User avatar #78 to #68 - daentraya (11/26/2012) [-]
I find this incredible interesting. I would appreciate if you could tell me more about this. I've always been very interested in how our minds work, and respond and all that stuff. Atypical autist here
User avatar #100 to #78 - makethingsworse (11/26/2012) [-]
What would you like to know?
User avatar #101 to #100 - daentraya (11/26/2012) [-]
How it's like and such. Whatever you can tell, really
User avatar #102 to #101 - makethingsworse (11/26/2012) [-]
Me being a Sociopath doesn't really inhibit my ability to socialize and interact with others. I'm very self-aware. I know how people work. What to say, how to act. I tend to manipulate people instinctively. It's hard not to do it, I've begun to try and stop. It's not really that much different from what I gather. People tend to not care about things unless it affects them or someone close to them. I suppose my mind just takes it a step further. For example: My best friend recently went to rehab for drug, alcohol, and sexual abuse. She called me everyday for the entirety of her stay. Most people would feel something if they learned that they're best friend was in rehab, but I felt nothing- and she could tell. I am rejected by most people. Many of my family members treat me as if I am contagious. They don't believe a word I say. Which is understandable. It can be frustrating sometime knowing that you can't be trusted. But this is who I am. Some of my friends envy me. They say they wish they didn't feel so much. One of my friends even treats me with a element of wonder. He once told me that he believes that Sociopaths are superior to everyone else. I can get pretty much anything out of him. I'm just like you.

Thanks. I always wondered about how it must be. I think I'll see if i can find some interesting documentaries on these subjects. I have an endless fascination for this kind of thing. In what way are you just like me?
User avatar #104 to #103 - makethingsworse (11/26/2012) [-]
I have family, friends, a job, I go to school. I find Psychology interesting due to my own disorders. I'm very intelligent. When I was a kid I spent most of my time reading, and would often read ahead in class. I found school boring because it never really challenged me. I am constantly thinking and that somewhat leaves me distant from other people, but I am not alone. I'm like you.
User avatar #105 to #104 - daentraya (11/26/2012) [-]
I see.. Everything apart from friends and job i relate to. I dont have any, and only few on the internet. And lately I've found myself to be fairy cold towards real life events. My granddad died, and i cried once, since it came out of nowhere. When my grandma went on and on about my dead dad, tears streamed out but i felt nothing but annoyance towards it. But i get major feels from fictional stories anyhow..
Also, i guess you know most of this based on the autism thing, cause that was spot on.
User avatar #106 to #105 - makethingsworse (11/26/2012) [-]
I just know what to say, and how to act.
User avatar #107 to #106 - daentraya (11/26/2012) [-]
Interesting. I dont. Probably because i rarely give a dahm about either, since i have nothing to loose and nothing to proof, and that I'm a bitter fuck who'll gladly express that if given a chance..

Take it from someone who knows both a sociopath and a psychopath.
