A psychopath is unable to explore other people’s feelings and thoughts. He doesn’t care if others aren’t feeling well and he sees feelings as a weakness. The psychopath doesn’t consider others than himself and has no sympathy for social commitment.
If you want to avoid being his victim, you must know the symptoms that can diagnose a psychopath. If 4 or 5 of the below listed symptoms are recognized by the person you live or work with, you are dealing with a psychopath. If you’re already caught in his net (which often happens slowly), you must be consequent, set limits or get out of his life immediately. No matter what you do it’s a tough but necessary experience. If you don’t take consequent action, the revenge from the psychopath can be unbearable.
The symptoms:
• The psychopath is irresponsible and rarely pays his debt. He doesn’t care about social norms and rules.
• He often commits swindle, robbery, abuse, incest, rape etc. or doesn’t care about the danger of i.e. drunk driving.
• He can’t be trusted; cheating and lying are used all the time to gain momentarily advantages and to strengthen his own feeling about ‘being the King’ or just to cheat money from people.
• He easily gets in contact with people. However, it’s difficult for him to maintain long termed relationships. This is caused by a search for excitement that is far more outstanding than other people’s.
• He gesticulates a lot and has an intense look. He reaches his goals with large activity which seems effective and strong, and that’s why many women fall for him. Most psychopaths are men; even though the women are following because of the high competition with men.
• He can’t handle criticism or resistance at all. One moment he can be the most soft and kind person; then turn around, shout hysterically, threaten or commit physical violence.
• In the aggressive moments he is a true master in finding the weakest points by his partner and push the attackers so far that they feel they are to blame at the end.
• He is able to destroy your self-esteem in a cold and sadistic manner.
• He always believes that you are to blame or that it can be explained away. He is not to blame at all.
• He is very self-centred and is unable to listen to others, unless it serves a purpose for himself.
Warning signals:
Have you been caught? Maybe you’re not. Many don’t realize it because the process of encirclement takes place over a longer period and in the same time the actions can be ‘explained’ in a natural way. However, after this period the relationship escalates. The warning signals listed below tells you if you are dealing with a psychopath. You are being abused and must seek help if you can answer ‘yes’ to most of these warnings signals.
• Do you feel controlled? Does your partner want to know where you are and what you are doing?
• Are you unable to greet a person of the opposite sex without him being strictly jealous or does hell break lose if you dance with someone else?
• Are you being questioned about who you talk to on the phone or on the street under cover of common curiosity?
• Has he no respect for your opinions, but rambles on with his own without giving you a chance?
• Are you beginning to doubt things you before thought was obvious?
• Does he blame you for everything?
• Does he refuse to admit anything?
• Are you afraid of stating your opinions because of fear of his reaction?
Psychopathy can’t be treated! The disease is incurable; the psychopath won’t admit he is sick and therefore won’t be motivated for treatment.
