OK, so I read a story about a woman who dated a psychopath. Not one of those stabby psychopaths that boil bunnies or anything like that. It was just a man she dated for 4 years, who was adoring and convinced her to buy a cottage with him and took care of her because he loved her so much, but said at the end of one day that he was done with the relationship, a day after the last payment for cottage renos. I did a mental catalogue search of the men I've dated over the years, to see if they had any of the signs.
And I discovered that I might actually be a psychopath. I mean, I do basically know right from wrong, but I don't always have guilt about certain things when the social norm would. I blame other people for what I do wrong sometimes, don't make long-term plans, don't have long-term relationships, am manipulative, am self-centred... There are more, but I don't really want to expose all the bad behaviours I have. Just... if you look at a checklist, it's possible I have many/most of those traits.
This would actually be somewhat comforting, being defined as a psychopath. It would give me a good excuse for never getting married.
