ELI5: Do psychopaths know they're psychopaths?

without being diagnosed

to clarify, can they fool themselves into thinking they are normal? does being diagnosed as a psychopath come as a surprise to them?

Psychopaths do not see themselves as abnormal. They see themselves as very sane, pragmatic, and successful in a world of weak, transparent people. They don't search to be labelled or diagnosed, it happens only when others force it on them.
