Is living life with no back up smart? Standing behind anyone relatively normal is friends, family, culture and government. That's smart. These people are clever but their lifestyle is stupid.

I'll leave it with you. I see what you are saying, my view is less typical and probably harder to understand because it starts at the start and isn't a just a symptom.

"Robert Hare claims that the prevalence of psychopathic traits is higher in the business world than in the general population, reporting that while about 1% of the general population meet the clinical criteria for psychopathy, figures of around 3-4% have been cited for more senior positions in business."
This means that all of us have "met" psychopaths, and probably thought nothing of it. Also the question is loaded, because you can't determine someone is a psychopath just by meeting them, so the question is like bait for "Yes my ex, since they're my ex obviously there was something wrong with them, and this is how I imagine they behaved". (With apologies to anyone who actually WAS/IS involved with a psychopath; of course that must statistically happen).
Unless the respondent is psychologist/psychiatrist, it's unlikely they could respond correctly, and the answer is best found by Googling, but I guess it's interesting anyway ;)

There are plenty about, most function quite well they are often successful. That is largely since they have absolutely no empathy for others and therefore can make hard decisions with no remorse at all. That's the thing I most notice they have no remorse or guilt

My nephew. I love him, but he terrifies me sometimes.
There is a great book called The Psychopath Test that's worth a read.

Actually I just wrote a huge rant on that, but I guess I fogrot if they're actually a family member/close relative, people would likely know. (Although it should be noted psychopathy as such isn't a recognized diagnosis, and even the definition has changed all the time. Today, it's included withing "Antisocial Personality Disorder")
