Yes, it is possible for sociopaths to feel envious of others' success without necessarily feeling hatred towards them. Sociopaths may experience envy because they desire the achievements, possessions, or status that someone else has attained. However, their lack of empathy and emotional detachment might prevent them from feeling genuine happiness for others or forming a positive connection based on those feelings.
Envy in sociopaths could be driven by a desire for personal gain, a sense of entitlement, or the belief that they are superior to others and should have what others possess. They may feel frustrated or resentful about their own lack of success and become fixated on the idea of having what someone else has.
While sociopaths may not feel hatred towards those they envy, they may still engage in manipulative or deceitful behavior to try to attain the same level of success or to undermine the person they envy. They might view success as a tool to achieve their own goals or to enhance their self-image rather than genuinely appreciating the efforts and accomplishments of others.
It's essential to remember that individuals with Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD), commonly referred to as sociopathy, have a complex and varied range of behaviors and motivations. Not all sociopaths will exhibit the same traits or react in the same way to different situations.
