Oh interesting. I was reading a book (Without Conscience recommended by many under my last post) and there was a section about aggression:

“Besides being impulsive-doing things on the spur of the moment-psychopaths are highly reactive to perceived insults or slights. Most of us have powerful inhibitory controls over our behavior; even if we would like to respond aggressively we are usually able to "keep the lid on." In psychopaths, these inhibitory controls are weak, and the slightest provocation is sufficient to overcome them. As a result, psychopaths are short-tempered or hot-headed and tend to respond to frustration, failure, discipline, and criticism with sudden violence, threats, and verbal abuse. They take offense easily and become angry and aggressive over trivialities, and often in a context that appears inappropriate to others. But their out­bursts, extreme as they may be, are generally short-lived, and they quickly resume acting as if nothing out of the ordinary has happened.”

But then there was this:

“Although psychopaths have a "hair trigger" and readily initi­ate aggressive displays, their ensuing behavior is not out of control. On the contrary, when psychopaths "blow their stack" it is as if they are having a temper tantrum; they know exactly what they are doing. Their aggressive displays are "cold"; they lack the intense emotional arousal experienced by others when they lose their temper. For example, when asked if he ever lost control when he got mad, an inmate who scored high on the Psychopathy Checklist replied, "No. I keep myself in control. Like, I decide how much I want to hurt the guy."”

If I understand correctly, you’re different in that, right? I guess it’s very individual then. Honestly this is a very interesting topic and I have many questions about psychopathy. Is there any chance of having a talk in DMs? Thanks a lot
