Psychopaths are nice people. Well they are not nice, but they are very charismatic so they appear nice. They also really like taking risks, doing high adrenaline activities and generally turning things up to eleven. This adds to their charm as if they have a secret to enjoying life better than normal people. The truth is actually quite the opposite. They have a physiological mental problem that prevents them from feeling ordinary feelings and they dial things up to eleven just to get a chance to feel anything.
To paraphrase the great writer John le Carre they do not take risks because they enjoy life they do it because they are dead inside. By the way, John le Carre had the very bad luck to have a psychopath for a father and he suffered greatly for it. But he did get a very good book out of that experience — “the perfect spy”, one of the best descriptions of a psychopath in literature. Much recommended.
Unfortunately the lack of feeling translates to a complete lack of compassion towards others so that leads psychopaths to do so much damage to innocent people.
In their desire to feel something anything, psychopaths tend to gamble and do stimulant drugs. They also tend to think they’re special and the rules of society do not apply to them.
So if you meet a charismatic person that likes to take big risks and do crazy stuff and/or gambles, stay away.
I say that having fallen victim to a vile disgusting psychopath and still trying to get him to leave me alone. So beware, it is not fun.
