Is there a difference between a sociopath and a psychopath?

Yes, there are key differences, though both fall under Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) and involve a lack of empathy; psychopaths are often born with it, are cold, calculating, and charming manipulators, while sociopaths develop it due to environment/trauma, are more impulsive, erratic, and can form weak attachments, making them seem more "human" but still dangerous in their own way. Psychopathy is often seen as more innate and severe, linked to brain function, whereas sociopathy stems more from upbringing, leading to emotional reactivity and rule-breaking.
