Do another skim read through the diary and notice all the times he unabashedly confirms his belief that other human beings in his life exist to serve his interests. It's practically a motif. He doesn't merely seem upset that women won't acknowledge him, but rather that anyone he interacts with has any agency at all --- his father, his mother, his friends, his roommates.

Not that it matters, but he really doesn't seem like a psychopath. Real psychopaths tend to be brave, extroverted, narcissistic, impervious to punishment, etc. He really didn't fit. (He's a little narcissistic, but limited it to talking about his being a "perfect gentleman" and things like that. Otherwise, he tended to condemn himself--his height, physical weakness, bad fortune, etc.)

Of course, I'm basing that on his autobiography which might be nothing but bullcrap. I looked through it, and the takeaway is that he was a sullen, jealous coward his whole life--but sufficiently introspective to write 137 pages about that life in which almost nothing happened, and nothing at all happened that he himself instigated. You know, until the end. Note also that the bio was coherent and competently structured, whereas in his videos he's barely able to sputter out a normal-sounding sentence. Psychopaths tend to be eloquent and charismatic.

After a gay co-worker and I watched his Luka Magnotta creepy, incredibly narcissistic to the point of nausea selfie vids he uploaded of himself driving around with a cruisey bar soundtrack we anecdotally declared this guy mad, and an extreme closet case which could explain his odd, jealousy filled hatred for women, obsession over the men they are with and his all around girl repellent behavior.

Too bad there isn't a history eraser button we can use to retroactively deny him fame for this.

There is also this part:

"I am Elliot Rodger...Magnificent, glorious, supreme, eminent, Divine! I am the closest thing there is to a living god."

And that is a delusion he maintains to protect himself from the pain of the feeling of inferiority he feels for himself.
