Normally sociopath blend well with society than psychopath. But psychopath is also callous yet charming. They'll con &manipulate others with charisma & intimidation & can effectively present themselves as normal to the society. psychopath is normally organized in their criminal thinking & can maintain good emotional & physical control. Other hand sociopath can be less organized in their demeanor, they might get nervous or agitated.
A key difference between them is conscience. A sociopath typically has a conscience but it's weak but when they act upon that they start to behave inappropriately. In case of a psycho he knows what is right or wrong but he doesn't care.
Thanks for explaining Aaloo.
Reading all these discussions, I get more ascertained everytime that I have had an encounter with a sociopath in my life. Super charming, witty, high IQ, brilliant presence of mind, the best speaker I have ever met and, highly manipulative. Super nice to me but mean to everybody else in general. Would slip at moments- which makes me think this person did have a conscience.
