In you’re daily life do people praise psychotic people or behavior? Most of the time I feel like I’m a psycho that has to work with general public. It’s not like I’m aggressive, I just decide that how a stranger feels doesn’t matter as much as whatever I need.
It’s not a decision. You would feel no fear, no anxiety, no shame. That would allow you to walk through people’s boundaries with ease because you aren’t afraid of any of the outcomes. It’s not a moral decision, it’s your nature. A lot of people like to glorify this type of stuff, but the reality of it isn’t like in the movies. I work with psychopaths everyday in my work setting and they aren’t the smooth cool guys like in the movies. They are dysfunctional, short sited, and completely untrustworthy. They usually get spotted for what they are pretty quickly because they aren’t very smart. Some are smart, but even they eventually get figured out too. Everything they do is self serving, dishonest, and completely without honor which people catch onto quickly. It’s not something you want to be. Sure, there are places for them in society, but the useful ones are few and far between. The majority of them are worthless. The fact you’re even asking this shows that you are self reflective which makes me think you’re probably not one.
Also, society is warming up to the idea of having almost no morals and integrity which is why Trump got elected. It’s why you see a bunch of young people acting like they want to be the guy from American psycho.
I find psychopaths online and it’s funny that they lie about verifiable things or tell information in such a way that confirms that it’s information they can’t know (I didn’t see put it in the jar but it’s red). I guess they can’t be psychopaths because because they get upset when I call them out and hit them with the “smart psychopath is scary, a stupid psychopath is hilarious”. Seems like from your description they wouldn’t care what I said
I guess I’m look at it like it’s a spectrum. Like maybe you can care but ignore boundaries or anxiety related to other people
They’d care i think. They also tend to be very narcissistic. I think it’s a spectrum in the sense that there are a number of traits or behaviors they exhibit, so you might have some traits of one, but then again most people do. And even if you have more than average, that doesn’t mean you dont have some other trauma or disorder that can account for that. Like aside from you putting yourself ahead of others, which most people do they just don’t say it outloud, what makes you think you’re a psychopath
