Headline misrepresents article. The relevant conclusion isn&#x27;t &quot;if you&#x27;re friends with your ex, you&#x27;re more likely to be a psychopath&quot; - it actually notes that the most common reason people stayed friends with their exes was that they considered them trustworthy, etc.
Rather, the finding was &quot;being a psychopath was among a number of factors that might make you more likely to be friends with your ex&quot;. That causal direction is hard for journalists sometimes.
