I thought this was fascinating.

In a nutshell, the three possible signs are:

1. They are immune to yawning stimuli
2. They take a lot of selfies
3. They order black coffee

3 Hidden Signs That Someone is a Psychopath

Quote:
It’s difficult to definitively label someone as a psychopath; however, there are certain behaviors that may indicate someone is one. A psychopath, by definition, has a difficult time understanding why people have feelings, and this lack of empathy can be spotted in several of the least obvious ways, including the types of drinks someone orders. The following scientifically based quirks could be a warning that someone exhibits psychopathic behaviors, and interestingly, men are more likely to be psychopaths. Now that you know this, here are three things to watch out for if you suspect someone of being a little off.

I would think that it also applies to a wide awake narcissistic sociopath

What if someone has 1 of the 3 or 2 of the 3 signs? How many is "a lot" selfies?

Inquiring minds gotta know...

Very interesting.

There's been some research into the quirky sort of vocabulary some psychopaths tend to use:

My favorite and most reliable "tell?" Whenever you catch them out they absolutely can't resist giving themselves away with a grin. You see that and "Bingo!"

I drink my coffee black. I'm not a psychopath.

I admit, I was too lazy to look at the link(s), so I'm just going by the list in OP.

In some ways I'm not very subject to social/emotional/physiological contagion,
but merely reading about yawning makes me immediately start yawning.
Ridiculous yet true. Now I'm relieved at confirming that I'm not a psychopath...
except I'm so sleepy all of a sudden, from all this yawning.

I don't drink coffee, haven't for 20 yrs. but when I did, it was always black, no sugar no cream. Wasn't a psychopath back then either.
And I used to take lotsa' pictures of myself bc. who else would take them for me ?
Back then, it wasn't called a selfie, though-it was a normal thing to do back in the 1980s, when I was a kid/teen.

Minutes later, I'm still yawning-what the heck ?

Most psychopaths think this.

Sociopath= psychopath= anti social personality disorder.

They just keep changing the vernacular. It means they experience no guilt, and don't care about anyone but themselves. They essentially have no conscience.
