My friend Laurie Smith the leather craftsman was diagnosed as a psychopath, and this sums him up nicely:

He lived in perfect isolation in this cottage for 30 years and I could have bought it 16 years ago for £130k but, it didn't look like this back then:

He once told me that he was emotionally stunted, but he never really hurt anyone in his life, apart from far too many women, alas.
The amazing thing about him was that everyone who knew him, loved him, I knew the 'real' Laurie though,
and I still loved him.
