I have been professionally diagnosed with severe antisocial personality disorder. Psychopathy/sociopathy isn’t a diagnosis so this is the closest thing. My therapist even said so.

1. I hate eninem, I love heavy metal like slipknot.
2. I almost never sleep at night, but I just stay inside my house.
3. I scored below average in narcissism
4. I don’t feel much empathy at all but I don’t believe in the yawning thing tbh. I don’t care for someone’s sob story, but I sometimes do yawn when someone I’m close with (family)does.
5. I almost never post selfies, like once a year but I’m a female.
6. My smell isn’t good, but the detail I see in colors etc. is very sharp. I see undertones, maybe because I like to paint.

"Staying up late can be linked to psycopathy:
Every single teenager ever: **Maybe i cam psycopath...**

[kaymmmmmm]

I married a psychopath. He is the most charming person I’ve ever met in my life. Even knowing how badly he abused me, I still felt like I was letting him down...
He has many victims. But anyone who meets him, loves him. Knowing full well his past. He doesn’t have any social media.
Him & the narcs I dated before him all were early birds. With great jobs. Liked all music.

Sometimes posting constant pictures of yourself is a sign of insecurities and the need for outside validation to give them a feeling of self worth.

"Psychopaths are less likely to yawn when they see others doing it"

Me: *yawns at the sight of the word yawn*

[CommonLoganist]

Phych2go: phycopaths like Eminem

Me: palms are sweaty....

[Quinnie]

A friend of mine is mild psychopath. The music taste was spot on, which is hilarious.

[KathyHarrington]

I once had two ex-friends who would post many, many photos of themselves on social media. While they may not have been psychopaths, the fact that this was one of the traits of a psychopath was very, very telling(More so as they were both very difficult people as a whole).

[miguelvelazquez]

Me: *pretends to yawn In class*
Class: **yawns**
The quiet kid:

*pathetic*

"Psychopaths are less likely to yawn when they see somebody doing it"

Me: yawning when i see the aninations yawn...

I was surprised at the sense of smell point. Antisocial/dark triad people often to me seem to be very intelligent yet at the same time also operating from a primal place in their behavior. That said, I would have guessed perhaps the sense of smell would be more acute rather than not and found the information about the orbitofrontal cortex interesting.
