5 Ways To Tell You're Definitely Living With A Psychopath

3. They Get Bored Easily

One week they've enrolled at medical school and are spending enough time at the gym to compete in Russia's 2014 Winter Games; the next they're jobless and blowing all their money on pizza takeouts. Why? Psychopaths want a constant buzz, ever-changing excitement, and normal things like holding down a job, studying for a degree and nourishing a relationship are all so BORING. You know that housemate who missed all his uni assignments, lost every job he's ever had and generally shatters the expectations of all those who care about them? Someone like him. In other words, psychopaths lives can be an ever-continuous link of tedious 'fail' GIFs. They're impulsive monsters: utter the word 'consequences' to them and they'll think you're talking Mandarin. Sometimes, they hide under a mask of success, pretend to be in happy relationships and have a string of achievements. In reality, it's not because of their sly, manipulative nature that stops them from succeeding - many bad people in power are definite psychopaths - it's just that the erratic boredom that can stop a psycho getting anywhere in life.
