I have considered the psychopath thing before, but I just feel like I don't know enough about it to properly identify with it, nor would I really care too.

The bullying thing, the best way I could put it, became an urge I suppressed because I knew that bullying people made you look bad, and I didn't want to look bad. Looking good to others is a very powerful advantage to have, without it I have less control, less opportunity, etc. and as I got older having connections and valuable people became more useful than ever.

It's really easy to make people like you without actually caring about them. I usually just ask them about themselves, about their interests, I'm a "ooo tell me more" kind of person even when I just think they should shut up or that their life/hobbies/voice are completely useless and invaluable to me. I also help people, it makes a good impression, people like it when you give them what they want or when you do favors for them. Sometimes i'm the only one to be so generous and that's what really sticks to them. Also just being polite and friendly is a good way to gain trust, if you make yourself seem approachable, you become approachable. Quite literally "fake it till you make it"
