No, not all psychopaths are smarter than others. Yes, there are psychopaths that are smarter than others, but that is just one type of psychopath.
Personally, I believe this stems from the lacking of emotional responses to hold back rational thoughts.
Again, this is just one type of psychopath, not all psychopaths know how to manipulate well, and psychopaths are not the only ones good at manipulation, there are multiple types of people that have a talent for manipulation. I, for one, although having being called a psychopath or a sociopath by people on here that aren't capable to give an accurate diagnosis (they're wrong, to put it short), am good at manipulation, as I am sure many people are that have no personality or mental disorder.
They can't control their emotions, they don't have any, except for the exception of anger, in which they don't tend to be very good at controlling if met with the certain clicks that genuinely make them feel angry.
I doubt you would like it. What they lack in emotional stress they make up for in the need for power and control, which is harder to maintain.
I think you have this impression that psychopaths have this care-free life in which nothing burdens them, which would be wrong, they have just as much, if not more, to burden them, just in a different way than normal people.
"They come off as charming (due to the fact that they can manipulate the way others see them) and they don't have to be". This tends to be to gain something else, not just for the sake of being a charming person.
If the area in which they are charming becomes negative towards a psychopath, they will end up becoming more chaotic than their charming persona.
They don't need to kill people? No, they don't, but a lot of them feel the need to, and a lot of them that don't kill in some way do it due to them not wanting the risk of being imprisoned or on death row, in which they have to cope with this urge that they want but can never have, up until the day they die.
Just because a psychopath was not raised in a troubled background does not mean they do not want to kill.
Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahlmer, pretty psychotic people, if not the primary psycho-killers we think of when the topic arises - They were not from an abusive background.
I think you are basing psychopathy from what you see in TV, books, games, or so on. Most psychopaths do not run under those cliches of what a psychopath is, and infact, I would say most psychopaths are quite pathetic. There are those that do fall under the cliche of what a psychopath is, don't get me wrong, but they are the minority.
Psychopaths are likely to have addictions to things such as drugs, alcohol, and so on.
I don't think you would like to be one very much, unless you are speaking about the cliche psychopath, then perhaps I can see your point.
Fun fact: Psychopaths are perhaps the best types of people to ironically save someone's life. They are capable of making a choice between killing one person to save the many without hesitation as to the morality aspect or guilt.
Is it normal that i kinda wish i was a pychopath...

Very interesting. You've made some pretty good points here.
