Signs of a Psychopath
Yesterday I posted different signs to tell you if someone is lying. Today's signs are listed for one to recognize a psychopath\sociopath.
-Freudian slips of the tongue (indicative of mental conflict)
-Guilt feelings (covered up, but wants to be punished for something)
-Uses defense mechanism of projection (blaming others for own faults)
-Uses defense mechanism of displacement (ditching, self-handicapping, settling for 2nd best, being own worst enemy, but feels entitled to something or being 1st)
-Oral fixation (smokes or always has to have something in mouth)
-Oedipus complex (or other love/hate relationship with parents)
-Comes from dysfunctional family or broken home (absent or abusive father)
-Impervious to fear, anxiety, depression, or remorse (unremorseful)
-Superficially charming, a real cool cat (manipulative and conning)
-Inability to love or express emotions deeply, can't respond to kindness (cold)
-Pathological lying (for no reason at all, can't help self)
-No self-insight (doesn't reflect much upon own personality makeup)
-No self-humor (can't stand to be the butt of jokes or can't laugh at self)
-A fairly high IQ (good grades in school or disparity in achievement)
-Uses neologisms (makes up strange new words, abbreviations, or sayings)
-Fascination with fire (or death, or purified ways to destroy something)
-Cruelty to animals (or doesn't like animals)
-Lack of probity, courtesy, or doesn't tolerate society's "niceties" or obligations
-Moody, obsessive-compulsive, suffers from one or more phobias
-Does not tend to learn from mistakes unless immediate punishment given
-Lack of formal-operational thinking (tends to think in concrete, black-or-white terms)
-Identity conflict (often with delayed adolescence, hasn't grown up in certain ways)
-Preconventional morality (thinks things are wrong only because it might lead to punishment or it's not in his/her best interests right now, failure to understand disparities between own behavior and socially acceptable behavior, often in trouble with law)

it is fascinating how you are interested in things like anti-social personalities and all kinds of twisted people. I was browsing the internet just to find something about psychopaths, and i came across your blog, too. i am interested in the subject, because i sadly became a victim of a psycho. the only thing that kept me seeing that guy for a month was that he claimed to be very close to God, and being a faithful christian. after it was all over, i must say that i remember the first day we met, and i asked him if he believes in God. he said: yea, do you? and now i know he just was playing the game to make me believe we were same and he was a good guy. if it wasnt for that, i wouldnt be with him. i knew something was wrong about that guy, and everything he was doing seemed so fake, so not from his heart. in the end, he "lost" my backpack with a laptop, my phone, documents and other valuable things. he sweared to God that he will give me back money for that. he never did. what's more, when i was crying my eyes out (i lost my documents and i was supposed to go back to my country in a couple of weeks), he just fell asleep on the bus. he slept like a baby, like nothing happened, and whenever i mentioned the situation, he became impatient and angry. my God, what a guy..and his smile, it was so fake, his eyes never smiled. i think when describing a psychopath you coul also mention that they usually have that intense look, his eyes were always wide open, evil coming out of them. they gesticulate a lot, too. and they are irresponsible for their actions - like not feeling guilty for what they do(look above). other example is they drink and drive, and thats what that guy also did. in a word, they lie, they never pay their debt, in a relationship they see a woman as their own possesion(one time he called me his pet..), they get what they want, they have no strong will, and never can keep their resolutions, they cannot handle criticism, and they cant listen to other people's arguments, which they dont agree with. since 1 in 10 guys in America has psychopatic problems, and only 1 woman in 100, women are basically screwed up. and the worst thing is that they are attracted to such guys, cuz they play princes charming and those women usually had an abusive father, so they get stuck in bad relationships somehow all the time. that's terrible, and its so sad that i had to meet a guy like taht too, who made me lose over 1000 USD, and he also made me pregnant by raping me one time. i despise him more than anyone, and although I believe in God, i feel like losing my faith, my whole world is collapsing because of one psychopath..beware people, beware women!!!!
im sooo sorry that happen to you!!! you did not deserve that! noone deserves that!! just wanted to tell you 2 hang in there!! i will only get better!! <3
i ment, it will only get better!!!!!!!!
I seem to have a propensity towards psychopaths and i am wondering what is wrong with me? I am female. Not all the persons i have been drawn towards by the way have been male. There has been a female or two including a couple of family members which scares me. I am curious if this could be genetic? One thing i found curious was the point mentioned about the psycho not having any anxiety or depression. I am curious if psychiatrists can pick this up with a patient and will purposefully try to give certain medications which will enable the patient to feel anxious and even depressed in order to try to inhibit psychopathic behavior? Reason i ask is because i hear so many cases of doctors giving patients medications and patients complaining they actually feel more anxious since taking them, whereas they did not feel that way before and want off the medication but the doctor is insisting "no". Perhaps these medications are an attempt at allowing some sort of feeling and directing the patient towards something other than harming another person? Again this is all theoretical.
Back to my experience with the psychopaths. My last one has been devastating and the prior one dangerous. They seem to get more and more dangerous and the more they build up the more i cannot go to the police because how can they believe you? I mean as it is until something happens, the authorities will do nothing. I fear for my life at times and as the one respondent mentioned she lost so much. I personally would like to get a new identity and i should not have to jump through hoops due to being a victim of these people taking advantage of my simple kindness. I too was a Christian woman reaching out to people i believed needed help. That is what the Christians teach. Help people and treat everyone the same. I too am ready to toss out my faith because i am no Mother Teresa nor am i JC. I am a female who is powerless and again now lives in total fear because these people walk the streets and love to inflict fear into people and are getting away with it on a daily basis.
My whole life has been ruined after I sadly became a victim of a dangerous psychopath. After six months of him being such a loving person to win my trust turned into ownership of myself & my possessions by the way of brutality broken bones & rape. After several attempts to leave this person I finally had help to leave & moved far away believing that he would not be able to find me. After many months this monster finally found where I lived & worked, I was stalked for 2years his begging & pleading for my return, he was so self opiniated & unable to accept rejection. I was repeatedly threatened 20-30 phone calls a day, run off the road, beaten & raped, at the same time he became engaged to two other women. Because I became stronger & stronger not having to live with him & refusing to obey his demands his ego & sick mind was unable to accept my rejection towards him. He then did the ultimate to ruin my life, he egnited my car when I turned the ignition key it exploded with me in it, my car & house were burnt out luckerly I suvived. It took this extent to involve the police as I was always frightened of him & his consiquences. He was charged on numerous offences, in court his patholical lies charmed the jury an expensive barrister & a paid judge he walked out of court with a very small fine.
I have lost all faith in the law & in God & all I can say is you can't beat a liar, so how can we ever bring these sick sick puppies to justice.
