The rough idea is that when people first learn about psychopathy or read about what the warning signs are, worrying that one might be psychopath isn't that uncommon. But if one does have such worries then one almost certainly isn't a psychopath because it doesn't bother a psychopath to find out that they are lacking empathy and manipulate people.
Thank you for clarifying.
