Response: Abnormal Humanity

In response to Andrew Nelson's post "Q&A: What are the Limits of Human Freedom?" (April 20, 2012):

We've discussed the social nature of humanity before in class, and the idea that solitude can be a kind of hell does follow quite nicely from that.  However, it also caused me to think about another point, that of humans with abnormal natures - for example, psychopaths (not sociopath, who have normal natures but act abnormally due to outside influences).  Are such humans inherently social as well?  Certainly they initially require the presence of other humans in order to survive, but once reaching maturity they often seem to have no emotional need for the presence of other humans.  I am not a psychologist myself, but I am interested in this issue, so I'd appreciate any opinions.
