Not really, no.

She did it out of social anxiety, not_*amusement/boredom._* She looks for validation/guidance from Twilight at many points.

Hmm...

Starlight had not understood that the wagon had sentimental value to Trixie, because she had shown her/communicated none of those signs in front of her, and she didn't explain anything regarding Hoo'Far wanting it. In her eyes, it was a "win-win," but she miscalculated, showing yet again a questionable ability to_*read_* others, which a psychopath should by all rights do easily.

Even though Starlight was more in the wrong, Trixie also wasn't doing herself any favors by_*not denying_* Starlight's comment that the wagon was a better friend than her in her eyes, because that was only going to piss her off more. They mutually escalated the argument. Starlight snapped out of a perception of being _*rejected_* by Trixie (remember Starlight's _*entire motivation_* for becoming a villain? abandonment issues, which psychopaths _*don't have_*), Trixie snapped for obvious reasons. A psychopath would not have gone back for Trixie. They would've left her to rot when she served no further purpose, because no one has sentimental value to them.
