13. Disregard for rules, laws, and morals.
One of the textbook signs that someone is a psychopath is a lack of regard for laws, rules, and morals. Most people who are not psychopaths respect rules and laws and have a set of morals that they live by, whether consciously or unconsciously.

Even when presented with hard evidence that proves that they were lying, they’ll continue making new lies to justify it and continue to reject any accountability.
