What are the neopaths?

In cyberspace many people converge, so it is normal to find subjects with any type of psychological disorder.

Within these, are the neopaths, that is, Young people who, through networks, seek important recognition.

Neopaths are people like any other, only that they incur aggressions, using anonymity, and then spread their actions and obtain visibility.

The term neopath is made up of "Neo", which means "new", and by "pathos", which translates as "feeling" or as "suffering".

So, The neopath is a subject that has created a new way of causing suffering, And that could well be classified as a form of psychopathy.

Carlos Cabezas, an expert in crimes on social networks, was the first to make use of this term to qualify people who incur this criminal practice.

So, neopathy encompasses all those who, using the network, manifest their tensions, aggressiveness, delusions, aggressiveness or psychotic disorders.

It usually thinks that, in the case of young people, they do not have a very good social life and resort to the anonymity of the networks To feel important.

Some experts also consider that the profile of the neopaths involves qualities of narcissism due to the attention or excessive admiration they are looking for.

By harming others, or causing pain, The neopath also keeps similarities with narcissists, since it tends to devalue others, as some studies on the subject point out.

Unlike many psychopaths, neopaths leave traces in the networks of the atrocities they commit, since they look for attention, so in many occasions they are trapped.

How do the neopaths act?

The desire of the neopaths to find fame and notoriety reaches any limit, without measuring the consequences.

Networks facilitate the excessive acts of neopaths to reach a large number of people, and very quickly.

Each act carried out by one of these subjects, tries to overcome or get further than the infractions of previous Neopaths.

Generally, they act under these three modalities:

1. Disseminating crimes that have already committed. First they incur the damage, record it and spread it through the networks.
2. They resort to networks as a means to promote crimes that will commit In the near future.
3. The third modality consists of Retransmission of crimes, live, so that online users can be immediate witnesses of the fact.

Social networks have little control and can be a means to increase the number of aggressive behaviors.

Most crimes under this modus operandi People whose age does not exceed 30 years, that is, they are young are mostly committed, significantly influenced by the advances of the digital era.

Types of neopaths or most common aggressors

Some of the most common aggressors are those who have the following profiles:

• Reactors: among which are those who feel anger when they see a publication of another user and make the decision to cause damage.
• Importers: those users who usurp the identity of another person to contact victims and get their trust.
• Predators: They attack with planning, hide their identity, seek potential victims and discover their weaknesses.
• Fantasy: In addition to expressing their violence, they also show their delusions and hidden fantasies.
• Antagonists: Those who, after feeling verbally take the rematch returning the aggression physically.
• Informators: Those users who make known the crimes they are going to commit, or report on those who have already committed.

Once these details have been known, It is important to safeguard, and this is achieved using social networks with responsibility, since on many occasions the victim has a previous contact with his victimizer through them.

There are very few cases of those who have attacked someone and spread it, without having been in contact through networks.
