    An original insight into the psychopathic mind.

    Straight from the horse’s


    mouth, we bring you a collection of stuff psychopaths say.
    (No Psychos) “Teaching people is the same in my mind as making them
    laugh or making them attempt suicide: it’s power over someone’s thoughts,
    over their life.”
    “I can care for others to an extent, but never more than I care for myself.”

    “It’s hard to know when I’m lying and when I’m not. There’s not a big
    qualitative difference between the two.”

    “I would greatly inconvenience myself to save my own mother’s life. I


    wouldn’t give up my own life or long-term well being for anybody.”

    “There is no better way to dehumanize someone than by realizing you can


    control their thoughts and feelings through words alone.”

    “There are no problems with ‘evil’ thoughts; I let them flow whenever. I
    absolutely think about bashing this man’s head in, or raping that woman on
    the ground when I’m out and about. As far as not acting on any of these
    thoughts goes, I just exercise self-control, it’s not hard. And it works – the
    worst assault I’ve ever committed was only knocking someone out with a log
    and I didn’t even get in trouble because he believed it was an accident.”

    “When I was in school my favorite torture tool was a mathematical compass


    – not sharp enough to break the skin or leave any noticeable mark but is still
    painful when repeatedly jabbed into skin. I gave that up around 15 too.”

    “To be honest with you (may we start as we mean to go on!) I find some
    aspects of empathetic people’s thoughts and feelings repulsive. For example,
    what you might see as self-sacrifice, I see as shameful weakness and betrayal
    of the self. Is my reaction an unbiased one? Of course not, we perceive things
    only as we are permitted to. And just because I am disgusted by such people
    doesn’t make it objectively true. We cannot condemn others because we
    personally do not like what they are. So we must act with acceptance,
    understanding, empathy (to the best of our ability :)) and, yes, initial wariness
    and constant mindfulness.”
    “Here’s a way to mess with a psychopath, adopt a permanent sarcasm
    interlaced with intermittent sincerity. That would be very disorientating,
    “scramble the circuits” as it were.”

    “Sure I got my feelings hurt before, but that’s in the past, and they’re only
    feelings!”

    “I do give (fake) sympathy to others if they need it. I totally pretend to


    sympathize when their grannies or their cats or their spouses die, or when
    they’re sick or made unemployed or whatever. A friend of mine recently lost
    her grandfather (“where did you lose him?”, as I would have asked when I
    was younger) and I was far more sympathetic and understanding than the
    other friends. I let her talk and cry for weeks and made up stories that were
    similar to her experience that related to her situation. And I didn’t patronize
    her with “poor baby”. What did the other friends do? Bleat “Ohhhhh, I’m
    sorrrryyyyy”, look anguished and lost and then awkwardly change the
    subject.”

    “Imagine that everyone you knew, even people you supposedly ‘loved’ were
    like strangers to you. The kind of strangers you drive past every day without
    thinking about. Like people of a far-off country with completely different
    values, feelings and ideas to you. How could you possibly form a proper
    attachment to them, especially when they seemed so slow and plodding
    compared to yourself?”
