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
Cool actually getting positive support and attention. When I first got to Lemmy I basically shared my story about how called out a developer to gauge their response to see if I should move onto another project. Short story is I basically formed an angry mob against me that persisted for like 2 days because they didn't like my methods and that I'm confrontational to them as well.
But if say what makes me think I'm a psychopath is that I regularly go online and figure out how to trigger and put ideas into people's heads and put down people. Like it's a hobby. I start with politics and people make it personal and it's like I'm anonymous person on the Internet, your politics suck and you did these horrible things(racism, classism) and displayed mental illness(like staying angry and obsessed)
