I have no shame, guilt, fear or empathy. I have an irresistible need to dominate others which means I own a business and sleep with as many women as possible.

I have a genius level IQ; however, even I have a hard time maintaining my mask of normalcy to my circle of people I deal with. Although, I do have one tactic I use to trick people into thinking I’m like them. Everyone wants to believe they have a special ability to see things others don’t. I simply leave traces of fake guilt behind with actions that others may find alarming. The result is people tend to think there is more to me than meets the eye. There isn’t. I’m cold, calculating and see people as tools for my pleasure, or obstacles to be crushed.

Unlike most of my peers, I have a college degree. I had a great GPA that was maintained with a combination of hard work and occasionally cheating on tests. Because I’m fearless, I easily began courting one of my professors. Everyone wanted her, but I actually got her. I knew she wanted me because I’m 6'3, muscular, with blue eyes, and I have this attitude women seem to love.

Because I wanted to kill people and get away with it, I joined the Infantry during the height of our recent wars. I was able to kill one man at close range after he was shot by our Scouts who were hiding in a nearby location. I won’t say how I did it, but I enjoyed it a lot. However, killing really isn’t my thing after all.

When I started my business, I must have ripped off 50+ companies. Who cares? Finally, I realized it’s easier to make money by keeping clients, instead of constantly getting new ones. So I worked very hard, and now I’m close to becoming a millionaire. I can put off pleasure, but it’s very hard.

I probably want the same things you want: fortune and happiness. I just go about it differently. Much differently. If you knew me you would like me.

I have more stories than you can imagine. I’ve done everything from getting strippers out of their clubs and into my bed, to beating up 5 grown men who tried to jump me for cash, to escaping a 10 minute police chase, to convincing a strange couple in a bar to let me have sex with the wife while the husband watched. I made him sleep on the floor as I cuddled her like we’d been married for 25 years.

I can get almost everything I want. However, I have to be very careful not to step on too many of society’s laws. But like any psychopath, I can walk a certain line that lets me take what I want without putting me behind bars. To me, the losers that end up in prison are impulsive, unevolved dullards. I’m a winner who always wins. You can try to beat me, but one day you’ll wake up with my d-in your mouth. That’s just how I roll, and I love every second of it. I had a lover cry to me because I was being so cold. I laughed for an hour straight, then I took her and made her best friend join us. They still call me to this day, and that’s the point.

While athletes entertain the world by crossing physical boundaries, I entertain the world up by helping it cross moral boundaries.

I do have a girlfriend now and she knows what I am. Like most women, she wants the ultimate predator on her arm even if that means the risks that come with it.

What’s it like being me? It’s like playing chess for money and sex, and being able to cheat during every game. Your emotions are rules I just don’t need. Haha, who does?

Why do people romanticise and even idealize psychopathy? I noticed how it's quite a popular to do these days, especially in online discussions.

What distinguishes a psychopath from a sociopath?

Is psychopath delusional wrt reality? (That was my old, intuitive understanding of the word - but I gather that's not quite right?)

Is *killing* or violence as such a part of what makes a psychopath a psychopath?

What feature or features are the sine qua non of one who could be fairly called a psychopath?

>> No.14023813

>>14023795
They're meaningless, mostly colloquial categories. The up-to-date psychological term is "Antisocial Personality Disorder," and what we call "sociopaths" and "psychopaths" would both fall under this same category.

>> No.14023877

>>14022943
Because people are retarded.

There should be a mandatory test for psychopathy every five or so years and anyone who is a psychopath is executed on the spot. No trial or discussion, because those are just opportunities for the psychopath to manipulate people. Simply an objective test that can't be cheated, followed immediately by a bullet.

Psychopaths are not human beings and should be exterminated.
