I highly doubt none of them wore a 'mask'. The mask isn't just just worn to blend in, it's to manipulate and con people. Most psychopaths who end up in prison aren't in there for lack of wearing a mask. They're in there because they have poor behavioral controls and poor impulse control.
Not all psychopaths are the same. Certainly not all end up in prison. The traits of one psychopath can vary in severity to another.
He describes them as crude and angry, said they can be fun but if you piss them off they will not put on a mask they will attempt to tackle you and stomp ur guts out with no thought.

The mask, if it’s really a thing is probably used by ‘high functioning’ psychopaths or those lower on the spectrum and I would assume more present in female psychopaths than in males.

Either way those things can have their time and place also like making a tough decision for yourself even when you know it’s going to piss off or hurt people around you.
They can't; not continuously. You're either going to come across as inconsistent or you're going to be so 'involved' with creating a consistent, false persona that it will condition you to the point where you'll not really know who you are.
This is about dealing with the issues on a day-to-day basis, not picking a response from a drop-down list.
I didn't really see this as the problem it was until I was able to be more myself around my wife. She'd ask me what I thought about certain stuff and it was difficult to break myself out of "what would be the best thing to say here" to "what do I actually think about this."
It was, and still is, difficult to do. I've spent so long being something else to most people that it feels uncomfortable and often hard to identify what I really want.
It is better though, although I admit it's uncomfortable at times.

The 'disordered' bits are the bits that f*ck you up; the rest is your personality. Anyone who doesn't want to get rid of stuff that f*cks them over would be a f*cking idiot.
There's a bridge for sale slightly north of the Algerian border and wee bit south of Ghahahahat.

If so, why do you think that is?
Children or adults whose inner child is strong, not to be confused with underdevelopment, more like in a Björk kind of way. I like being around people who are in a good mood in a pure way. So I guess because I don't want to ruin something good.
