What does a psychopath think?

Answer 1

A psychopath (or sociopath) ignores some or all of the normal human rules of behavior, in favor of a personal agenda. This can be compulsion, whim, or self-protection, and while most with this disorder will consider the immediate consequences to themselves, the effect on other people (or their own future) is ignored. Psychopaths typically have little empathy for others, especially strangers or those they do not identify with.

In some regards, psychopaths can be likened to someone playing a video game, who does not have to be concerned with anything done to the anonymous characters in the game, or to the things in the game, except as they affect the player's character.
