Are psychopaths normalized? (lemmings.world)

In you're daily life do people praise psychotic people or behavior? Most of the time I feel like I'm a psycho that has to work with general public. It's not like I'm aggressive, I just decide that how a stranger feels doesn't matter as much as whatever I need.

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
