When most people use the term “psychopath” they usually mean a deranged person or murderer, but that’s the the actual definition.
The actual definition of a psychopath is a person born without the capability to love, feel remorse, or feel empathy. That part of their brains are completely shut off, causing the other parts of their brain to work harder, causing most psychopaths to be incredibly smart.
Psychopaths have a bad reputation, but most are not blood thirsty killers (although some could be). A lot of them work as doctors, lawyers, accountants, at churches, and other jobs like that.
There are two psychopaths in every 100 people. They are much more common than you’d think. I hope you don’t write about a psychopath unless you do heavy research on them.
P.S. Most psychopaths that do become murderers are left handed (because they mostly use the other part of their brains).
