Would you date a psychopath?

I have been dating this guy for awhile now and he claims to be a psychopath.

Should I run or just write it off as bs?

    If he is truly a psychopath - run
    If he is cosplaying as a psychopath because he thinks it’s cool - run

    The last thing a psychopath would do is claim to be one, they’d more likely point the finger at you in that respect.

    There is no context in which this is not a red flag, get away from this guy.

    Maya Angelou said, “When someone tells you who they are, believe them”. He may not be one, but there’s a dark motive behind him telling you that, so I think you should keep your distance.

      No you shouldn't always believe when people tell you who they are, there are a lot of scammers in this world

  • He will never love or care about you.
    It's sort of like how some serial killers had a family to upkeep their image so it would be less likely that they'd be suspects. You can also expect some form of abusive if you stay with him wether physical, emotional, financial or all.
    Psychopaths are very charming and intelligent people. It's not uncommon for them to share unpleasent truths about themselves sometimes (such as admitting to being a psychopath) in order to appear honest while covering worse secrets. It's a tactic they use.

    He's not a psychopath
    He's an edgy and sad lil shit
    Run as far as you can

    Depends on the conversation you had when he brought it up. Maybe he was joking because of something he did that might come across as crazy to some, like eating a whole jalapeno pepper.

    I am attracted to those types of women but I could not see myself dating one. Unless she could channel it in a way where shes nice and caring towards me.

        Idk what that is but google is saying a sweet but then violent devotion to their love. I wouldnt want no chic like that. That seems too unpredictable for me.

      The first rule of a psychopath is to tell people that they are not a psychopath. They have the tendency to lie the most often.

    Yeah there is absolutely no way, I actually value my life and who would want to be chopped up into little pieces or buried in your front yard just because you had a little argument or just because he felt like it oh and what makes you think I want my family to die. Like sure in fiction it can be hot but in reality fuck no (excuse my language).
    Just the other day on the news there was this thing about a Australian and American couple, it showed footage of a woman talking to a camera crying about a augment they had. As well as the police in the back ground (last footage of her). apparently they were going to the dessert and surprise surprise he turns up by him self with no sigh of her.
    It so obvious what happen they had another argument and he’s bloody killed her and left her somewhere out in the dessert to decay. Bla bla bla further investigation JUST ARREST HIM!
    People like him make me sick
    😐 oops I when on a rant again. Sorry
    But I suggest that you should stop any relationship with him. better safe than sorry

    If he's pretending to be a psychopath because he thinks it's cool he's almost certainly very immature and toxic. I knew a guy like that in high school and he was not a pleasant person to be around. You would probably be better off without him in your life.

    if he was actually a psychopath he would not be going around bragging and telling everyone about it. their focus is to be charismatic and be seen positively, why would they claim something about themselves that holds a negative stigma? not all psychopaths are crazy bloodthirsty murderers though, they're pretty badly portrayed in media and their traits are often extremely exaggerated. while they do have the potential of being dangerous (but i mean who doesn't) wanting to kill people/being bloodthirsty is not a symptom. most psychopaths that have murdered people are like that is because of their extreme loneliness and neglect which leads to higher risk of violence and recklessness. they're also just as likely at high risk to target their aggression and violence on themselves than other people. not all psychopaths are aggressive or violent though.

    for your situation it depends on if he's shown any red flags or risk factors. if he actually hasn't done anything wrong or hasn't shown any suspicious behavior i don't really think you should drop him for a mental issue he can't control (again though i highly doubt he even has it), however he might just be an asshole and using something like psychopathy to use it as an excuse to be an asshole or violent. of course if he is violent and aggressive leave him, you shouldn't put up with that bs
