What started all this was I was watching Chinatown and listening to old Jack and thought "I should be calm and talk like that" (as opposed to my usual ranting). This inevitably led to questioning my own sanity and some very distraught googling.
I ended up posting this one in particular because it genuinely struck me as bad info, since many of the behaviors are fairly normal in rational people as well. Like it wants to make people distrust their loved ones and give them many opportunities to say "you did this... fucking psycho!"
Not saying the behaviors are good or healthy, just saying a lot of normal people do some of the items in this list, and they aren't necessarily indicative of psychopathy.
One of them is over generalization. That's a sign of psychobrain. Applied in context, it could be a symptom, but tell me how much EASIER would it be to apply out of the proper context?
Laughing when you are overwhelmed by the sadness of an event. Laughing at futility. That makes you crazy now, it's a well known coping mechanism. "Laugh to keep from crying" etc.
Being afraid to express emotion for fear of appearing vulnerable: psych ward!

I observed an acquaintance rehearsing facial expressions in a mirror.
He didn't know that I saw him.
