New research out of the Netherlands has reviewed the widely held beliefs that psychopaths don’t feel fear and think the belief came about erroneously.  They actually do believe psychopaths feel fear, but they just react to it differently than you and I do.  And that makes sense to me.

I have never believed psychopaths don’t feel emotions, or “act” because they are void.  They absolutely feel all the emotions we do, but they simply feel it for themselves. They just lack empathy for others.

I can find many psychopaths displaying the seven universal emotions and they aren’t acting them out. They are truly feeling them.

Does this change how you think about psychopaths?
