If doing something bad makes someone feel bad, then they're not a psychopath.

Plenty of psychopaths live perfectly normal lives and don't kill anyone. Smart psychos know that if they do crimes they go to jail and that, that is no fun.

My own dad did crimes and bragged about it and that got him arrested and he never got out.

When I went to a psychiatrist, she made the following assessment:

"The patient meets criteria for Antisocial Personality Disorder and presents with traits consistent with primary psychopathy, as assessed by the PCL-R, particularly in the interpersonal-affective domain such as superficial charm, manipulativeness, and callousness.

Furthermore, he demonstrates preserved or above-average cognitive and social functioning."


So yeah... I know how psychopaths and sociopaths think.

Do you have any experience with it?

...Maybe more a question of why we are drawn to watch and do stuff that make us feel like crap, human nature is quite a thrill seeker, it seems.

Simply human interest and curiosity mixed with the desire to learn and educate oneself?

No mystery here.

Psychopathy is not a mental health diagnosis, but a set of personality traits and behaviors. By human standards, all domestic cats exhibit psychopathic tendencies - and this is entirely natural. Likewise, there’s a fair chance that your boss may display psychopathic traits; a lack of empathy combined with a manipulative streak often enables individuals to maintain positions of power and leadership.
