If you try to look for a proper definition for a ‘psychopath’ and a ‘sociopath’ in medical books as well as databases, the chances that you will be getting the perfect definition is zero as humans are very complex beings. It is impossible to completely get to know about any person as the human brain is tricky enough to decode even after we have a lot of clues to reach a near to perfect definition. Some articles even link ‘psychopath’ to ‘sociopath’ as synonyms to each other. The most basic point to differentiate both the terms is ‘conscience’. Psychopaths are believed to have no conscience whereas sociopaths are believed to have one but way weaker than the standard set by the society. Psychopaths are believed to be born with destructive tendencies while sociopaths are believed to have acquired the tendencies and get shaped depending on the environment around them. Psychopaths are most probably immune to not feeling guilty of their acts while sociopaths might feel bad after committing a crime. But it would not be accurate to say that psychopaths don’t feel guilt or any feelings in general. Being a human there is a possibility that if not deep but slight feelings can be felt by them in some cases just like sociopaths and other average humans as it’s a human tendency to be able to feel emotions; even other animals do possess this trait.
