Cool actually getting positive support and attention. When I first got to Lemmy I basically shared my story about how called out a developer to gauge their response to see if I should move onto another project. Short story is I basically formed an angry mob against me that persisted for like 2 days because they didn’t like my methods and that I’m confrontational to them as well.

But if say what makes me think I’m a psychopath is that I regularly go online and figure out how to trigger and put ideas into people’s heads and put down people. Like it’s a hobby. I start with politics and people make it personal and it’s like I’m anonymous person on the Internet, your politics suck and you did these horrible things(racism, classism) and displayed mental illness(like staying angry and obsessed)

I find psychopaths online and it’s funny that they lie about verifiable things or tell information in such a way that confirms that it’s information they can’t know (I didn’t see put it in the jar but it’s red). I guess they can’t be psychopaths because because they get upset when I call them out and hit them with the “smart psychopath is scary, a stupid psychopath is hilarious”. Seems like from your description they wouldn’t care what I said

I guess I’m look at it like it’s a spectrum. Like maybe you can care but ignore boundaries or anxiety related to other people

I wouldn’t know the difference. Seems like they overlap so that’s why I would go with description of behavior

Sometimes I wonder if people do live a separate reality

My mind wants to break down the concepts into smaller ideas of lack of empathy, not considering morality. I keep thinking machiavellianism is more a descriptor of the politics that Machiavelli lived in. It’s more of a communication thing, it helps to use simpler concepts to convey ideas better.

But psychopathy is definitely a spectrum and it does feel like trying to get another person to like you can be psychotic since it’s manipulation

What is the dark triad? I think I saw it referenced before but I thought it was a comic book villain
