I had this idea, possibly for writing. Imagine a psychopath who believed their own act of human emotion so much that they never believed they were a psychopath, which would mean that they began mimicry at a very young age before knowing what a psychopath is. And they have meaningful conversations with people and feel "love" and all, but then some instance happens which reveals the true nature behind them and the psychopath gets probed but they insist that the psychopath feels everything they talk about. And it comes out that they really didn't feel the true emotions and that they simple understood the bendings of language and created meaningful poetic lines that won people over.
Also, metaphors are a good protection or cushion against the world. A thick enough metaphor can surround and pad you against the true, bare blunt of things.
