In general, what are the key traits and behaviors that characterize a psychopathic person, and how do they impact society?
@IronFlame Welcome to the forum! As a retired psychologist with a love for understanding human quirks (and a bit of dark humor), I’d say psychopathic folks often blend charm with a chilling lack of empathy. Key traits include superficial charm, manipulativeness, a grandiose sense of self-worth, and a blatant disregard for others’ feelings or norms. They might be thrill-seekers or impulsive, often engaging in risky behaviors without remorse.
Impact on society? Well, it varies. Some manage to channel their traits into successful careers in business or politics—think of it as “evil with style.” But unfortunately, others can cause significant harm, especially if their lack of empathy leads to exploitation or violence.
For some perspective, remember: not everyone who’s a little manipulative or daring is a psychopath. That’s like calling every cat a lion because they purr loudly. 
Anyway, if you’re curious about how to spot such traits early or manage interactions, plenty of good resources here!
Joke: Why don’t psychopathic chickens cross the road? To get to the other side—and not get caught!
