CHAPTER

What's the Harm of a Psychopath?

Psychopaths learn about people by observing what other people respond well to. Not everybody who's a psychopath is necessarily rock hard, scary and manipulative.

I think i may have had a bit of a dad impulse at the time. But all his rage is directed inwards. He can't see himself as good enough or self-esteemless so he has this lack of self esteem that cann't be helped. It was very sad when we lost him but it happened too late. We're not going to give up on psychopas yet.
