DSM classifications aside:
1. what is meant generally speaking by "a psychopath" is someone who feels empathy & guilt differently or not at all, regardless of how others have been violated.
2. "sociopath" is a garbage term for "someone i don't like." what can often be meant by good-faith people who use this term is some mix of anti-social personality disorder, which - as a point of distinction - most notably involves violating others, regardless of empathic level.
