honestly, it kinda sounds like a textbook psychopath.... at least from what you are describing here...

  Real world psychopaths has no problem understanding the concept of pain, if you punch them in the face they’ll get mad and punch you back. The way “lack of theory of mind” works is when they decide in their free will to hit you and you hit them back, they don’t quite understand how that happened despite them not intending to hit themselves.

  I watched a hitman on death row get interviewed by a psychiatrist who wanted to know why he was the way he was. The psychiatrist explained to him that he had this trait (felt no pain, felt no anxiety, etc). He explained it's common in people with dangerous careers. He explained that people with this trait who grow up in nurturing homes tend to come out ok and usually work dangerous roles. This hitman grew up in an abusive home and that coupled with this trait was what shaped him into what he became.
