They seem like normal functioning human beings at first. What goes wrong? What makes them so convincingly charming if they’re so vile? The first hopeful questioning of empaths and codependents will always be “Can they be fixed?”

Consider this;

One Narcissist is a labyrinth of maladaptive thoughts and the culprit is the damaged Amygdala. In fact, it is the main contributor of most personality disorders.

A balanced healthy and normal amygdala is part of the limbic system in the brain, bridged together and attached on the ends of the hippocampus, which also makes them residents in each hemisphere and is nestled within the medial temporal lobe. It resembles a gunners chair within a spaceship. The two ends look like olives or almonds,

However, a damaged amygdala equates to a lack of emotions or moral reasoning.

Genuine rationalizations by emotion makes for better reasoning in moral choices and having compassion. Exacting a sound moral decision and moral attitudes can’t be reached by logic alone; emotions are an important part of the reasoning. The amygdala is the moral part of making decisions. Without the amygdala, choices rendered are dangerous. A charming educated person can deceptively be a serial murderer. (I.E.

    Paul Bloom, in the article “The Baby In The Well: The Case Against Empathy,” argues that the human emotion, empathy, causes our world more harm than it does good and that humans should use reason in place of it. Bloom supports his claims by contrasting between a counter argument and examples that back up his view on empathy. The author’s purpose is to inform people about how empathy can blow situations out of proportion in order to try and make them believe that reason is much more useful in making decisions. Paul Bloom writes in a formal tone for his audience of middle aged men and women who read The New Yorker.…

    The Power of Pathos In the words of Vincent Van Goh, “Let’s not forget that the little emotions are the great captains of our lives and we obey them without realizing it” (Guillemets). Emotions guide people through life like a compass in a similar fashion to how a compass guides a sailor on his voyage. This emotional compass leads us in the path of an ultimately unknown yet assumed destination in life and we follow it blindly every day. In the good times and the bad, emotional experiences and relationships tend to be more memorable and important to people than those with less emotional connections.…

    In Christine Rosen’s essay, “In the Beginning Was the Word,” she mentions a quote by C.S. Lewis, “We read to know we are not alone” (234). He explains that books are pathways to a better insight on what it means to be human. They are a way for people to cope with loneliness because it allows them to relate and empathize with the characters in the story, allowing them to feel like they are a part of the story. Although it cannot single-handedly combat loneliness, books are one way to help some people feel less lonely. For example, when people read good fiction, they feel as if they are immersed into the book because it presents a compelling and enjoyable tale.…

    Narcissists are great at being chameleons. They are known for being smart, confident, and articulate, and usually very charming when we first get to know them. Oftentimes they are obnoxious, and love themselves anyway…at least outwardly. More striking — and more surprising — they were aware that people who knew them well did not have quite the same high opinion of them. They acknowledged that those people would indeed see them as self-absorbed and disagreeable.…

    One expert in the subject of psychopathy offers a full explanation of its biological basis. It is suggested that amygdala dysfunction is a key neural system that is associated with psychopathy (Blair et al., 1999). Neuroimaging studies have confirmed this. Further, there is evidence the frontal cortex could be dysfunctional (Soderstrom et al., 2000). They found that “psychopathy was associated with an increased ratio between the dopamine metabolite HVA and the serotonin metabolite 5-HIAA.…

    If, Singer were correct in his claim that some moral intuitions are purely “rational,” then we would expect to see psychopaths reliably answering such fundamental moral questions¬. However, psychopaths repeatedly fail to demonstrate any ability for moral reasoning, let alone reliable moral intuitions, suggesting that they lack the necessary emotional hardware. Thus, emotions and moral intuitions are inextricably linked; much in the same way physical attraction and primal instincts are deeply connected. One may rationalize why they are physically attracted to their partner, citing several reasons that seem ostensibly divorced from primal instincts, but nevertheless physical attraction itself is deeply visceral and biologically rooted, and no amount…

    In the production of knowledge many factors come into play, emotion and reason being the main factors. In my opinion I believe that the claim “In the production of knowledge, it is only because emotion works so well that reason can work at all.” is not true. In other to understand this claim, questions to what extent can emotion cloud reasoning and how emotion is used in the production of knowledge need to be kept in mind. Areas of knowledge that are best for representing these factors are religious knowledge systems and history.…
