Summary:
20 Lack of guilt: A psychopath will not feel guilty for his or her behavior, even if it hurts the people around them. Watch out for this clear cut sign of a psychopath before it’s too late!

19) Lack of empathy: A psychopath is unable to place themselves in another person’s shoes or see things from their perspective if it is not beneficial for them.

18) Enjoy making others feel guilty: One obvious warning sign that you may be dealing with a psychopath is that they like to manipulate people’s emotions in order to get them to do what they want.

17) Only value themselves: The only reason a psychopath will do anything is to benefit themselves.

16) Believe they are better than others: They tend to lie about things and sometimes even convince themselves of these lies so that they can see themselves in a better light.

15) Liars: Psychopaths will lie to make themselves look better, even going so far as to make up complete lies about their past, their lifestyle, and their relationships.

14) Often well-liked: Because of their manipulation skills, they can convince almost anyone that they are good people, making them seem likeable when in all reality they are extremely evil.

13) Lack of accountability for their actions: They feel no responsibility whatsoever and will stop at nothing to get what they want.

12) Early behavioral problems: Most psychopaths have a long history of manipulative and questionable activity. This type of behavior typically starts early on in a person’s life, and only gets worse as they grow into adults.

11) Juvenile delinquency: A study shows that youth with high psychopathic traits start engaging in criminal activities earlier in life, come into contact with the justice system earlier in life, and have higher levels of conduct disorder, behavior problems, and delinquent behaviors.

10) Walking contradiction: This is because psychopaths lie about almost everything. They tend to get caught up in their lies and contradict themselves regularly because of this.

9) Don’t believe that rules apply to them: Much like narcissists, they are so self-centered that they believe they are not held to the same standards as others.

8) Shallow emotions: This means that events that may engender an emotional response from a neurotypical may have little to no effect on a psychopath. That, however, does not prevent them from feigning these emotions in order to fit in or manipulate.

7) Rage: Of the few emotional responses that have been attributed to psychopaths is anger, which appears to be intact and perhaps enhanced in psychopathy according to one study published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.

6) Unfazed: Psychopaths are unfazed not only by social, moral, or legal consequences of their actions.

5) Sucker for thrills: A psychopath is also partial to adrenaline-inducing activities. Some of the crime that they commit is also as a result of them seeking a thrill.

4) Short personal space: Individuals with high levels of ‘cold-heartedness’ preferred shorter interpersonal distances.

3) Need for stimulation/proneness to boredom: If a psychopath gets bored and feels the need to be exhilarated, they may feel the need to do something dangerous to relieve their boredom.

2) Parasitic lifestyle: Meaning they will leech off those around them and take credit for accomplishments achieved by others.

1) Lack of realistic long-term goals: Because of their inflated sense of self, they have a tendency to establish unattainable goals.
