Short, bitter people are ‘more likely to be psychopaths’: study
NY Post ^ | 2/27/23 | Adriana Diaz

The Napoleon complex has been scientifically proven.

New research published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences suggests that people who are relatively short and unhappy about it may engage in antagonistic behaviors in an attempt to offset their height disadvantage.

The researchers used Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, a crowd-sourcing site, to recruit 367 adults, a mix of men and women from the US, for the study.

The participants were asked to complete the Dirty Dozen Dark Triad questionnaire, which is designed to assess levels of psychopathy, narcissism and Machiavellianism — a personality trait defined as being manipulative, cynical and lacking in morality.

They were then asked to list their height and divulge if they were satisfied with their height or wished they were taller

I've known many short people and the majority were decent people, but if there is a poster child for this article it's this man.

Short man syndrome, I know a couple of people that this fits perfectly. Their whole life is nothing but trying to make up for the fact they were born shorter than most. My ex married one and he turned into a total AH after they got hitched, hid it well until after, then it came shining through.

Time to ask Bing AI Chat how tall the following people were:
BTK (5ft 11in)
Dahmer (6 ft)
Gacy (5ft 10in)
Richard Ramirez (6ft 1in)
Ted Bundy (5ft 10in)
Gary Ridgway (5ft 10in)

Well it appears this news is fake news/fake science.

I know a couple of them too and they’re definitely angry, bitter little punks.

Fortunately, most short guys I know are decent people.

Short people aren’t really people. You can tell that because they don’t have actual souls, and just mimic what real people do. If you ask them “How’s your day?”, likely they’ll respond with “Fine”, or “Not bad”, or something like that. It’s exactly what a real person would say. It’s uncanny.

In the book PSYCHO by Robert Bloch, Norman Bates was a short very fat man on route 66 somewhere between Tulsa and Springfield Ill.
Not the slim and tall Anthony Perkins.

In doing a Google Search it keeps bringing up Fairvale, CA as the location in both film and book.

NO it is not!

In the book it is in Missouri. I have read that book twice in the last 60 years and tried to pin it down to exactly were.
