As you can imagine, it gets frustrating.

The only reason I didn't score a perfect 40/40 on the HARE was because I didn't have any behavioral problems in school, and I grew up with two great parents who never abused me. Aside from that, I am a dyed in the wool psychopath, and no one knows about it because it was basically lying dormant until my TBI "switched it on", for lack of a better term.

I'm always deeply suspicious about people labeling themselves as psychopaths. It's usually either edgy attention seeking behavior or a way to excuse away being a dick. Lots of overlap between the symptoms and just acting like a twat.

In your last post, you said you felt incredibly guilty from getting financial assistance from your parents. You even put it in caps. I don't think psychopaths would think about it much.

Online tests don't mean shit, especially when you are seeking a specific result. It seems like you are going through a lot and I don't want to be harsh here. Just try being nice to people instead of looking for reasons not to be.
