Is Trevor really a psychopath? (Spoilers)

[R1ch4rd N1x0n]

He's often portrayed as one and stated to be one, however in my playthrough I tried to make him be a somewhat nice guy, by doing things like, not killing innocent people, not taking people to the Altruist Cult at all and instead taking them where they want to go, dressing him up nice instead of looking dirty/skanky, and otherwise not doing crimes that the game doesn't absolutely require me to do.

Now, obviously what I did in my run was my own choice and may not truly line up with Trevor's canon personality. However, there are some things he does in the story that seem out of character for a "psychopath." Allow me to state a few of those;

Despite being aggressive to Mr. K throughout torturing him, he seemingly feels bad for Mr. K if you cause him to die during that part, and he also lets him live after the mission instead of just killing him (which is what he was told to do.) It's possible that Trevor being aggressive to Mr. K while torturing him was just an act, because Steve was watching.

After The Third Way, if Trevor hangs out with Franklin, Franklin will ask him why he didn't kill Michael. Trevor admits that he felt bad to do so, because Michael has kids and stuff, and a few other reasons, and that's why he didn't, and he also forgave him. Which seems out of character for Trevor to say, compared to how he acts earlier into the game, as it really doesn't seem to me like Trevor would give a damn about whether or not someone has kids.

On top of the previous statement, Michael seems to complain a lot about Trevor being a psychopath, which is why he wanted to get away from him (but Trevor ended up finding him anyway) but after The Third Way, Michael and Trevor seem to have become close friends based on the ending cutscene, and some hang out dialogue. Is it possible that Michael sees improvement in Trevor, and that's why he's fine with being close friends with him now?

Despite being stated to be a drug addict, you don't really see him doing drugs much throughout the game at all, so is there a chance that, maybe throughout the game, he is trying to quit drugs? And maybe him doing drugs could have contributed to his psychopathic personality.

So, my question is, is Trevor REALLY a psychopath? At least at the end of the story? Because based on the things I said above, it almost seems like he may be a "former" psychopath, as he seems to become less crazy throughout the game, which could possibly be linked to what I said about him doing drugs.

To much txt so a simple Google search says

He stated that Trevor "kills without remorse, like a true psychopath, but very sentimental for the right reasons when it suits him." Rockstar drew upon game protagonist archetypes while scripting the characters; Trevor was considered to embody insanity

I asked here because I don't believe that's a very detailed answer. If you didn't feel like reading, then you shouldn't have commented at all.

Trevor is often portrayed as a violent and unpredictable character who exhibits psychopathic tendencies. However, I don't think he is a true psychopath.

He does display some degree of remorse and concern for those close to him, he also cares about Tracey (Michael's daughter) who not even his own daughter when Tracey got kidnapped he helps rescue her.

He is unpredictable mad.

Sure, you can say what you want, although it does prove how lazy you are. I guess you were never taught how to read?

I was though how to search something and not write a entire bible to say something. It is possible to make the same assumptions with a few lines of txt instead of a thousand + letters.

So, you're saying I shouldn't write long threads? It's a long thread because I had several points I wanted to get across.

Justifying a specific character as a callback to GTA V is kind of silly when you consider that none of the characters you mentioned are actually real. Some characters don't even have feelings like Steve Haines which is a problem since those characters aimed to get one of the protagaonists killed. Also, I think, the debate of the storyline of the game ended 10 years back so we should just stick with it.

You don't have to use to many pragraphs to explain about a character. Just make a claim and break down points about it. You can write a blog and write paragraphhs about the specific character.
