What is a psychopathic person like

[measqu]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some help understanding what a psychopathic person is like. I've heard about this condition, but I'm not sure what signs and behaviors to look out for. Are there any physical or mental characteristics that are common in people with this condition? What kind of behaviors do psychopathic people usually display? Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated.
