What's the difference between a bad boy & a psychopath?

[Anonymous]

If a guy wants to be seen as a nice, meek, mild & meek talking, mild & meek acting, looking type of guy
(choir boy for example) to be able to not alert people what he truly is which is a hot headed manipulative petty liquor store thieve

Would he be considered a psychopath more than a bad boy? & What makes a bad boy different?

People who project nice images then turn into monsters usually have a personality disorder. They also are usually the abuser in relationships. Think Norman Bates (Psycho), Bateman (American Psycho), or Scarlet O’Hara (Gone with the Wind).

Bad boys usually push rules to the limits or bend them. They can be soft under neith. Women are attracted to the idea THEY may be the one who can reach the soft gooey center. Think Danny Zuko (Grease) or every James Dean movie.

A psychopath has no sense of guilt or empathy
