22 Wild ‘Oh No, This Person’s A Psychopath’ Moments

The human brain is a fascinating thing. It’s a mysterious little hunk of meat growing up with the rest of our body, pulling the strings to carry us from crib to school to work, and all the while providing commentary. It’s endlessly impressive how all the things that make humans human are contained within one little electrified organ.

On the other hand, errors in that organ can have terrifying results. A couple crossed wires, and suddenly you’ve got someone who thinks watching a house fire is weekend entertainment. More terrifying is the fact that those people don’t always present as terrors. You just have to hope they slip up and say something so coldly unnerving that you mentally make a note to take them off your holiday card list. 

To that end, Redditors have shared a time that someone they knew, in the span of as little as a sentence, outed themselves as very possibly a psychopath. Fair warning: nearly all of these stories will haunt your nightmares.
