A thread about Psychopaths…

[Thedryjanuarydiaries]

Spurred on from another recent thread and really just put on interest, I’m wondering if there is anyone out there that would admit to being/knowing someone who scored high on a Psychopathy scale…

Not the Netflix serial killer type but the possible high ( and sometimes ruthless) achievers with low empathy skills and who have to work hard to conform to our social standards and laws.

If so what do you think stops them from committing a crime, acting on impulse and being able to live a normal life.

I wonder what these kind of people look like, if I’d know when having a conversation with them that they were weird differently, how hard they have to work to understand humour, love and go on to me maternal/paternal parents…

I do always find the “Have you ever felt evilnesses” type threads interesting but I’m always left wondering if people are picking up on personality disorders especially when there is no reasons to be unsettled by said person.

Oh thanks so much @AutumnCrow

Same with the one two I know. Very likeable personalities at start, gathers a lot of people around them who hero worship them, then gathers information about people (using other pawns to get information) then will twist, attack, manipulate to ensure they stay the most important. Drops people like a hat when they are no longer useful.

I made that mistake. Never again . Trust your gut . If I had done that then I would have saved my self a lot of drama and tears

Was married to one. He has an official diagnosis of covert narcissism. He was clever, intelligent, funny and good looking. He could charm any information from you. He had a sob story background. He used every single piece of information against me or children. He once flipped because I had deliberately mislead him by breathing in the wrong place in a sentence. He looked totally blank when he had his hands round my throat.
I’ve not seen him since his arrest.
