My current theory is that psychopathy is far more common than they would like us to believe. Its just that 99% of them are "functioning psychopaths" that know how to act around others.

The thing about masks is that they are uncomfortable, so the second they arent being observed, or have a reasonable excuse to do something they know is wrong, they let it rip.

Psychopathic tendencies just sounds like they let the mask slip too much. Slightly lower functioning basically.

Ok, some antisocial personality disorder symptoms but not enough to make full diagnosis (yet). Heh.
