Some of the most common signs of psychopathy include a lack of empathy for others, a shallow range of emotions, a lack of guilt and remorse, and a willingness to break rules for personal gain. Many people with psychopathy have a history of legal problems, broken relationships, and criminal behavior, although that is not true of all people with psychopathic traits. It may help to remember that most people with psychopathy don’t seek treatment on their own, as they often have trouble recognizing that they have a problem.
