They &#34;mask&#34; to avoid detection. I&#39;m that kind. I have far more emotional control than normies.<br/><br/>That school of thought says the explosive types are sociopaths, not psychopaths.<br/><br/>According to this view, psychopaths can form their own internal moral compass and can behave pro-socially. Not because society says they must or because others do, or because of guilt 2026-03-13T03:04:17Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsrypglxpmdas3mfq3nuym2hh3hm7en7mnx5u79ypxwg28ycgtxhtgzyr0u585t7y8c388p6tvc00gpk6l05jw8ukuxev5e03ul7xlkceze6puk6uj What do you want to know about #psychopaths, what it&#39;s like to be a #psychopath, or general questions about #psychopathy? <br/><br/>I promise I will answer you truthfully, and I won&#39;t hunt you down to split you open and haul out your innards. <br/><br/>Then again, I&#39;m a psychopath, so I lie a lot.<br/><br/>#mentalhealth<br/>#wellness <br/>#mentaldisorder 2026-03-12T23:53:14Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsrn0mx27gptwnj2pgnpu80kjackhuy74n6w8x9ffwfy2gfr4dlxnczyr0u585t7y8c388p6tvc00gpk6l05jw8ukuxev5e03ul7xlkceze66rn2f7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfykt40tf9g9eazaz8frrwdyq9tj4j9egzxaasf7y3szhdra53uvsuqa485'>nevent1q…a485</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Hey Ian.<br/>Actual psychopath here.<br/><br/>I&#39;m sure you were using the term as a slur rather than a medical diagnosis, and as a psychopath, I&#39;m cool with that.
