I never really met a psychopath myself but I always wonder if they are really that dangerous as portraied in movies and TV-shows.
If not can you please explain me why in simple words as I don’t understand much about this topic?

Why are people describing sociopathy? No, a psychopath is not always dangerous. It’s just a combination of some personality traits, and like any trait, that doesnt determine their actions. They can be violent or not. They can exploit people or not. They can be educated to be a very good person in society. The only thing dangerous is that it’s easier for them to do bad things because of their lack of empathy and remorse.
