Or they may use sex as a way to get what they want. Sex is never an emotional or
loving act for them

Early behavioral problems — Most psychopaths exhibit behavioral problems at an

early age. They may cheat, skip school, vandalize property, abuse substances, or
become violent. Their misbehaviors tend to escalate over time and are more serious

than their peer’s misbehaviors.

Lack of realistic, long-term goals — A psychopath’s goal might be to become rich or
be famous. But quite often, they have little idea about how to make these things

happen. Instead, they insist that somehow they’ll get what they want without putting
in the effort to get there.

Impulsivity — Psychopaths respond to things according to the way they feel. They

don’t spend time thinking about the potential risks and benefits of their choices.

Instead, they want immediate gratification. So they may quit a job, end a
relationship, move to a new city, or buy a new car on a whim.

Irresponsibility — Promises don’t mean anything to psychopaths. Whether they

promise to repay a loan or sign a contract, they aren’t trustworthy. They may shrug
off child support payments, get deeply in debt, or forget about obligations and

commitments.

Lack of responsibility — Psychopaths don’t accept responsibility for the problems in
their lives. They see their issues as always being someone else’s fault.

They frequently play the role of the victim and enjoy sharing stories about how others
have taken advantage of them.

Many marital relationships — Psychopaths may get married because it serves them
well. For example, they may want to spend a partner’s income or share their debt
with someone else.

But their behavior often leads to frequent divorces as their partners eventually see
them in a more accurate light.
