3. Irresponsibility
Impulsive behavior and irresponsibility are part of their lifestyle. A psychopath would never admit their mistakes and they are capable of becoming angry with anyone who accuses them of something. The objective of this behavior is to get the accuser to reflect on it and end up feeling guilty for having complained or for having made him responsible for something.
