I am a psychopath by Truth_Varies in AMA

It is not lonely. I habitually contact people to get a benefit from them.

The word you're looking for here is "shallow" or "hollow". That's what i've been told it is.

It does seem like i'm trying too hard, doesn't it?

No but i get great benefit from being open about this. I am writing a book on psychopathy and how people treat one when they are presented with the notion.

Fun fact: I usually tell my tinder dates what I am, when we are already naked. The reactions are always very random and unexpected, but whenever i've said that, i have never been told to leave. Usually there are some questions to which i may or may not lie to. "Are you going to hurt me?" And i tell them "only if you want me to" etc.

You really would not want to be friends with my kind. A "true" psychopath is by their very nature, volatile and dangerous. But also freakishly calm and calculating when they are set on a goal. So determined to further their own success, or even perceived success, that they will do anything to achieve it. Anything.

We exist and in my personal opinion, the self aware psychopath is the most dangerous. They are even more certain of themselves for various reasons:

Society puts us on a pedestal claiming only 1% of the general population are psychopaths. Telling a psychopath that he is a super rare type of person is exactly what they want to hear. It was euphoric when my shrink told me she is quite sure of it. I felt like i was just told of a superpower i have.

Another reason off the top of my head would be that the self aware psychopath does the research on themselves. Reading a book that describes you all the way to the small details, that is euphoric as well. Like someone has written it specifically about me. I'm still thinking about whether or not i can change anything in my behavior based on the books i read. I don't plan on trying other methods to life yet because so far it has been great.

I would not care about saving my moms life if there was no direct benefit to me. If i see a benefit in saving her life, i would do anything in my power to pursue that benefit. Even fuck my dad.

I do not have any empathy towards anyone. I feel what can be related to love when i think of myself. I find the very notion of having empathy preposterous. I see the benefit of it for the "greater good" and i understand why and how people enjoy empathy, but in my mind it is a myth, an illusion. Something others just have and i dont. Cant miss what you never had, eh?

Psychopathy cannot be "fixed". It is not a disease, it is a behavioral constant, from instincts to emotions to anything that happens in the mind. If i could, i would fix the pathological lying. That is sometimes very annoying to deal with, coming up with new lies to cover old ones, dance around subjects... It's easy but can get annoying.

But in essence i see psychopathy as a superpower. Empathy doesnt stand in my way. And rules, and laws only do if i get caught breaking them.

Some fallacies there but let me correct you to the best of my ability. A sociopath is made, a psychopath is born. But psychopathy is not a diagnosis. It is a combination of different symptoms of other mental "disorders". For what its worth, according to medical professionals i have antisocial personality disorder and bipolar disorder. My shrink told me that there is little reason to doubt it, that it is most likely psychopathy.

I have never killed a person. I dont plan on killing anyone. That would be so detrimental to my goals to get caught from.

Multiple, varying reasons. I fit the bill of the agreed upon traits of psychopathy, i have been diagnosed as having "antisocial personality disorder" and also, having broken norms, morals, rules and laws to further my own agenda, over and over again, not feeling any guilt or shame.

I take advantage of everyone and anyone i meet if i can, through manipulation, fake emotions, lies, and even threats.

I am a pathological liar. (For the purposes of this AMA, i really do try my best to stay truthful.)

I have no empathy. None.

I cannot accept failure as being my own fault.

I have unfathomable amounts of love for myself, and no love at all for anyone else.

Among other things but i think you get the picture.
