Even before I was diagnosed and knew about Aspergers every time they described the killer as nice guy, a little off, a loner, quiet etc I wondered if people would wonder about me because I fit the description.
Funny thing is, most serial killers
aren't loners. In fact, they have a higher rate of extroversion than the general population. It goes along with the 90+% rate of psychopathy in serial killers - psychopaths are usually pretty sensation-seekers, which tend to make them pretty sociable even though they don't really care about others.
However, many psychopaths struggle to keep long-term relationships going, because sooner or later the mask starts slipping. A skilled psychopath, however, can keep the mask up longer, and figure out ways to trap some people so they don't feel like they can leave once they see through the mask.
Short-term relationships, on the other hand, are easy for most psychopaths.
