In my opinion, most psycopaths actually do know that they are. Have you ever seen an interview with somebody like Jeffrey Dahmer? He was well-aware of his evil and never tried to deny it.

Get a clue.
Trait #10: POOR BEHAVIORAL CONTROLS — Expressions of irritability, annoyance, impatience, threats, aggression, and verbal abuse; inadequate control of anger and temper; acting hastily.

By the way, I thought your initial post about drinking black coffee and not being a psychopath was just you trying to be funny. My response to you was a failed attempt at sarcastic humor. Perhaps decaf is in order?

1. They are immune to yawning stimuli
2. They take a lot of selfies

I guess I'm not a psychopath, lol. I don't even drink coffee, yawn ALL the time, and take very few selfies. A lot of people use sayings like these to boost their egos though.. like this old saying, that we've all seen:

"Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people."

A truly wise person would not need to make a statement like this or think they are better than someone else because of what they talk about. I admit I don't like talking about people, but I don't think I'm better than everyone else either. No, you are not wiser or better than people who take lots of selfies. Learn to see life from their perspective and keep an open mind, you'll be much more at peace in the end.

I take my coffee black...like my sociopaths.

I yawn when other people yawn, and I figure any day without at least a little guilt over some imagined transgression or other is just a downright weird day, but I remember reading somewhere years ago (when I was a pre-teen) that sociopaths aren't ticklish and being terrified, because I wasn't ticklish. I thought I was suddenly going to wake up and start murdering helpless infants or drowning puppies or something.

They keep changimg up all the little weird things that mean you MUST be a psycho. Now it's coffee?? I think if you're worried and upset about possibly being a sociopath, you probably aren't, because AFAIK they don't feel guilt and don't question their usury and other antisocial actions. So don't worry. If you do worry about the possibility of being a sociopath then you almost certainly aren't one and if you are one, you aren't worrying about it anyway.

How about an NPD? Now these are scary people!! Most psych terms are only used to charge for insurance. The world is full of people w/ psych problems. Agree w/ NLVgal.

Okay, I strayed from the topic. Afterall, one size does not fit all. For all anyone knows we could all dangerous depending on the situation.

Those 3 things fit a lot of folks...EGADS!!! I may not ever leave my home again! I have a phobia.

Selfies do not apply. I yawn at some things while at other things can perhaps cause me to snore. I like black coffee occasionally.

I definitely do not believe everything I read either.

Surely I must have type of diagnosis. BORING would work.

Phew!!! I think I passed.

I am a sympathetic yawner.

I take my coffee any way, but sometimes black so maybe those are isolated psychopath days. I will take note.

I hate having my picture taken by anybody including myself.

I'm definitely not a psychopath. However, I think at least one of my other personalities might be.

No, no...that personality has MPD, not an antisocial disorder.

You're okay, though. It's just that other dude that's the problem. HE'S CRAZY.
