Nobody will tell you when meeting: "Hello, I am a psychopath, I ask you to excuse me in advance." Sometimes it is possible to determine that something is wrong with a person after some time, weeks, months, or even years. Or maybe there are such people in your environment too? Of course, not every person with a mental disorder is necessarily dangerous to others, but the fact is that there are more and more such people around. You don't know what to expect from them and how to communicate with them. Yes, what is already there, they themselves do not always know what to expect from themselves!
We, of course, are not doctors, but still there are some psychological aspects that help to identify a psychopath or find out if your interlocutor is predisposed to psychopathy.
For your information, psychopathy is a deficit in emotional response. People with psychopathy are too impulsive, they lack empathy, and they are able to make others believe that they have a problem with their heads.
Here are the telltale signs of a psychopath
You feel like you're talking to yourself
Now you have met a person, it is so easy and good for you to be with him. You constantly tell him something, and he listens to you with pleasure, does not interrupt. It feels like you've known him for a hundred years, but be careful! The point is that psychopaths are hidden manipulators. They do everything to make their "victim" feel as safe as possible next to them. But the hour comes, and they show their true colors.
At that moment, the psychopath will already be able to get into your confidence, will know a lot about you, and you will relax. He will remember everything that you told him: stories from life, his interests and hobbies, his past life, and then he can use all this against you. He will start copying you, pretending that he likes the same as you, he will imitate your behavior, style of clothing, habits. Would a normal person do that?
He gives you many compliments.
It doesn't matter if he is of the opposite sex or not. A person with psychopathy will have one desire: that you fall in love with him, that you are fascinated by him, that you think that only he understands you. This person will see what exactly you are not sure about and will start using it against you. He will begin to control and manipulate you.
He presses on pity
He constantly finds ways to make you feel sorry for himself. For this, he is able to invent something or even pretend to be sick. Especially if you decide to meet with someone else, and not with him - with friends, family, colleagues. He will do everything in his power so that you stay with him, for this, for example, he will suddenly become "bad", although for several minutes everything was in openwork.
You catch him in a lie
Moreover, this is some kind of stupid lie. Let's say a psychopath was at home, but for some reason he’s lying to you that he met with friends, he’s lying about his past, his relatives, composes some kind of fables about love affairs, and then maybe forget that you uttered. A pathological liar is simple! But in this way, he is trying to arouse interest in you in your person.
You feel that he is not who he wants you to appear.
Suddenly you feel cracks in his mask. Sometimes he is forgotten and becomes completely different. This other is absolutely real, and you see it, but decide to ignore it. And this is your mistake. In the case of a psychopath, "when it seems, then it does not seem!" Therefore, if it seemed to you that something was wrong with the person, then most likely it is.
You feel like you're going crazy
The peculiarity of a psychopath is that he will make you believe that it is something wrong with your head, and not with him. He knows your weak points, and puts pressure on them. He drives you to hysterics, calls you a psychopath, and you really start to believe in it!
How to deal with such a person? You cannot definitely change it on your own, here only doctors can help. But the psychopath is unlikely to agree to admit his diagnosis. In this case, you better get away from him and break off any communication, because he can harm your psyche.
