    What tell-tale signs do you look for as signs of psychopathy, sneakiness and general festering evil type traits in people?

    Personally if you have turned off read receipts in WhatsApp then I won't ever trust you and I do not like the way you're living your life.......

    Voting for Fine Gael is a giant red flag.

    Equally, putting the term "eco-socialist" in your bio, another giant red flag (literally and figuratively).

    Male Feminists - White BLM Activists - 'Time for a serious public debate on the Trans issue in society' types etc.

    If Ted Bundy was alive today he would be the Wokest Mother****er you'd ever meet.

    Seriously though. A major sign of a psychopath is someone who lays on the 'social justice-professional wonderful person' persona too much. It's ALWAYS about their social camouflage.

    "Travelling" conmen targeting the elderly with cognitive issues - not for aggravated burglary (although they do that too) but rather to convince them to get home maintenance done for exorbitant prices. Done by turning on the charm and paying fake compliments while lying through their teeth.

    Not evil as such but they usually have serious internal issues which they project as hatred and disgust at men in general.

    A near constant whinging, and moaning, about Covid restrictions, Dr Tony, NPHET, “de gubbermint” and RTÉ (Ryan Tubridy and ‘The Late Late Show’ in particular).

    All lives matter types, as well. Very angry men with many “shortcomings” that cause them to lash out at the world. Spending too much time online and playing computer games just isn’t good for the mind, breeds derangement and “issues” with womxn.

    Isn't not yawning contagiously/socially supposed to be a sign of a sociopath, because of a lack of empathy? Whenever a bout of yawning breaks out in a group, I'm never lured in... :o

    I believe an ex work colleague of mine to have a psychopathic personality. He's extremely selfish and antagonistic, he has no friends either in or outside of work and he doesn't care what anyone else thinks of him.

    Not sure how serious an answer you're looking for on the psychopathy thing, OP, but I would say psychopathy (or anti social personality disorder) doesn't need any hints.

    Psychopathy is one of those overused words like "depressed" or "OCD" which we usually use outside of its psychological meaning, but it's an immediately obvious disorder. God love them, like, because it's probably deserving of being described as a mental illness instead of a personality disorder.

    I've only met one person whom I am certain had this condition or a similar disorder. Quite a violent, extremely emotional person with no ability to regulate mood or maintain relationships. A total absence of self-deprecation was the least serious trait, but probably the most obvious: a mild ribbing would erupt into a ferocious tantrum. This person stole from their own parents, from friends, and caused one ex to have a nervous breakdown, through a mixture of emotional cruelty and, it is suspected, violence.

    When it comes to your run-of-the-mill peculiarities, unusual traits or even quirks, I'd argue that the broad spectrum of human behaviour is part of what makes life interesting, and makes sustained friendships all the more valuable. I'd hate if we were all the same, life would be so boring.

    One thing I am quite convinced about is that personality is fixed, and biological. You cannot change people. It's usually best (and better for the peace) to just accept people as they are. The vast majority of us are lucky to be situated somewhere in the acceptable middle-spectrum of traits, and sad to think, those at the extremes will probably never change. No matter what.

    I think they can learn to cope with situations in manageable ways, but that's more managing their anger (or whatever) than eradicating it.

    A very good post overall, thank you.

    I guess the most frustrating thing is to see the terminology and “knowledge” of the condition (which I would not classify as an illness) shaped by popular media creations.

    It’s a stigma you just can’t get away from.
    And yes, incurable but it is possible to manage it if you are interested in getting it under control. Unfortunately this will depend on the severity as aspd, like all conditions, comes on a spectrum.

    One of my sisters is bi polar , she is in her thirties yet acts like a child when challenged about anything, she has obvious mental illness but is not violent and certainly not a psychopath


    I've only ever met one person who I felt was a psychopath, they expressed a desire to see people hurt and claimed it would make them laugh

    Which does not make them a psychopath necessarily. It's like diagnosing someone as depressed when they tell you that they sometimes feel down.

    You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?
