Psychopaths are transactional, cunning, and manipulative. Further, they have no conscience, no capacity for remorse, guilt, sympathy, or empathy (except for themselves).
Key characteristics of psychopathy include:
Lack of Empathy: People with psychopathy often struggle to understand or care about others feelings. This trait contributes significantly to their manipulative behavior.
Superficial Charm: Many psychopaths can appear charismatic and engaging. This mask often hides their true intentions.
Impulsivity: Individuals with this disorder may engage in reckless behavior without considering consequences.
Grandiose Sense of Self-Worth: A common belief among psychopaths is their superiority, leading to entitlement and arrogance.
Pathological Lying: Frequent lies serve as a tool for manipulation and gaining control over others.
