The Callous Nature of Psychopaths

Psychopaths can be cold, calculating, and deceitful. They tend to view others as objects, tools to be used for their own benefit. They don’t see people not as equals but rather as resources to be manipulated. They can also be opportunists, taking advantage of anything or anything for their own benefit.

Their lack of empathy and compassion can lead them to be callous and feel no remorse for their actions.
