Psychopath shares why he didn't jump into pool to save his little sister from drowning
When he was just a six-year-old kid, Loïc De Marie says he watched on as his younger sister was drowning in his family’s swimming pool.
And he reckons that this was the ‘first clue’ that he might have been a psychopath. The now 26-year-old didn’t jump into the water to help her as he admits he was more worried about getting his clothes wet.
Loïc told Australia’s SBS News: “She was drowning, and I looked at her, and that was kind of troubling. And I didn't jump into the pool because I didn't want my clothes to get wet.”
While he didn’t jump in, he did, however, eventually hold out a plastic toy for her to grab so she could climb out.

He previously told the People Are Deep YouTube channel that his mum shouted at him for not getting in since he could swim while the young Loïc was saying 'my clothes are clean'.
Diagnosed at 23, Loïc has been open about his mental health as he explained that in his mindset he expects everyone else to be as 'shallow as me', and this was 'why I always got my shot first because I think if I don't do it, they're going to do it'.
“We know that we are different. That's why we act this way we play the game we're going to be very kind at the beginning. We learn through observation 'what is the normal relationship',” he told the YouTube channel.
“You need to understand that if you want to get something from somebody you need to play that game.”
As far as his emotions are concerned, Loïc said he did indeed feel them and people could sometimes get the wrong assumption about psychopaths and their feelings.
He explained: “People tend to believe that psychopaths don't feel emotion and it it is not quite true. We feel emotions but it is shallow emotions like proto-emotions not at the same depth as you.
“We can feel frustration, anger, joy. I can, I'm very happy, I can feel happiness. I can laugh a lot, but never any guilt. No matter what I've done, never. I don't regret anything.
“I'm going to live once and I'm going to do it for myself. I don't have any regret.”
Loïc said he doesn't care about what people think of him and claims he doesn't 'need to be loved', instead he 'needs to know what I have to do'.
In an interview with LADbible's Minutes With, he claimed there are two types of manipulators - 'violent' and 'charming' - but revealed that one is 'more dangerous'.
“You got the beautiful appearance, and you got this very charming person. But this is more dangerous, because human beings tend to fall for the first impression,” he explained.
“So in the past, I was very charming with a big smile, very empathetic in appearance, very manipulative. And I think that was dangerous for me and for others.”
Despite his past, Loïc believes he's still a 'good person'.
“What is a good person? It's kind of a trick question because we need to make the supposition that if the good person is based on the behaviour or the intention, because I think we can do really bad things with morality,” he continued.
“So you can be a good person and act in a certain way with a bad behaviour. Now I think I'm a good person because I'm honest, I'm doing good things without hurting anybody else. So the question is, of course, there is always a dark side, and I think nobody can be a total good person, you know?”
