A genuine psychopath has revealed what makes him different from normal people. Loic De Marie was diagnosed as a teenager after taking a PCL-R test, used to determine if people lack empathy, have selfish impulses, and may behave harmfully and criminally.
De Marie said that what defines a psychopath is the disregard for the consequences of their actions, even if they hurt others mentally and physically. The Belgian man told the People Are Deep podcast: “No matter what I’ve done, never. I don’t regret anything. I’m going to live once, and I’m going to do it for myself. I don’t have any regret.” De Marie said he thinks it’s beneficial as he has never felt anxiety, depression, or guilt, and can stay calm under pressure and make ruthless decisions without emotional pain. On the podcast, he told stories from his childhood that displayed his character, including the time when he saw his sister drowning and didn’t panic or attempt to help her. He added that he felt his psychopathy was genetic and had nothing to do with his difficult childhood or living in poverty.
“When you are a psychopath, you tend to believe that people are not smart. That’s why you use them. You see people as objects. You think they are stupid. You can get what you want from them. That’s why you manipulate people.”
Speaking with little emotion, De Marie said that he never feels he has done something wrong, even after committing acts of violence and being arrested.
He spoke of police giving him a warning after being caught preparing to attack three boys with a baseball bat. But their warning didn’t stick and, just two days later, he broke one of the boy’s noses.
“I’ve been arrested and I’ve been conducted to the police station. I don’t give a s*** about what’s going to happen. And I don’t think about the consequences of my behaviour,” De Marie said.
The psychopath added that he had slept with his best friend’s ex-girlfriend and lied about it for years, as well as taking his mum to visit her dying friend so he could seduce her daughter: “If the person had to die, this is not a matter for me.”
Now, De Marie uses his psychopathic behaviours as a life coach and consultant, teaching people how to recognise and avoid manipulation.
He said the money and respect this gives him fuel his narcissism, but gives him “redemption”, saying: “I can get what I want without destroying anybody else. It’s like a contract with me and people.”
