“Pathological egocentricity and incapacity for love” To psychopaths people are objects whose needs and even lives don’t matter except in so far as they can use them. After using people, they toss them away. Psychopaths can’t feel anything, not even joy or happiness very deeply.
Psychopaths can, however, sometimes experience intense attachments without emotional bonding. Some of them have such obsessive infatuations that they may even stalk their targets for an extended period of time. This behavior, however, is not tied to any genuine feelings of love or even to “being in love.”
Dr. Hervey Cleckley, pioneer in the field of psychopathy and professor of psychiatry declares that a Psycho is incapable of feeling love or have a sane environment around people because they see them only as an object that can be used for his own benefit.
