The conditions you: mention cannot be explained in a brief online response. Please see a mental health professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment. They all relate to the way one sees others and treats/mistreats them. Peace and good health.

Antisocial: The modern clinical term for sociopathy is antisocial personality disorder. The hallmark of this disorder is the person seems to have no conscience, or sense of morality, or right or wrong. This person cannot empathize with others, is opportunistic, predatory, and often thrill seeking. An example of this would be Charles Manson.
