Sociopaths are a special version of narcissists, known for their reckless disregard for others. With no moral compass they can be especially difficult. Dr. Les Carter gives a clear description of this pattern of narcissism with the warning that they are not to be included inside your inner circle of influencers.

We need to be taught about these monsters when we are 12
Most people get married young with no knowledge of healthy relationships
Most women ruin their lives

You’ve described him to a T. 36 years married to this man. I left him, and now I’m trying to sift through the kids and their narcissistic issues. I’m 64 and for the first time in my life, there is a light at the end of the tunnel! Woohoo!

Another day without the narc....
it's like a spring day....
and a walk in the park.
You may be alone and that is okay
but WITH the narc...
you're alone everyday.

You inspired this poem and a fair amount of recovery like always thank you so much my man🤘🖤🕉

“You’re there to prop them up” and “they couldn’t care less about your humanity “ stood out to me in the commentary.

Sociopaths are more common than we think. Thank you for your aupportive message dr Carter.

These people are extremely dangerous and very hard to get rid of.

[dawnbailey]

Their behaviors are unimaginable to those of us who, thankfully, aren't of that ilk...until we've had to live with it. It's worse than anything you can even conceive. Evil is what they inflict. Thank you Dr. C, for all you give to us.

I can't wait for this one, Dr. C. as I grew up with a mother and brother who were sociopathic narcissists which left me with severe PTSD. They are extremely dangerous individuals and are capable of the worst possible human behaviors. They are not your garden variety narcissists and no contact is really the only option with them!

This is my upbringing by two narcissists explained perfectly. I was their only child. Every. Single. Word.
My mother is high level, diagnosed NPD, dad is covert but equally entitled and angry. Both are sociopaths but mom is clearly moreso. They see others as things to use under charming and polished exteriors. It's all about them, all the time. I was bullied and unimportant to them other than how impressive they could get me to be, otherwise they couldn't care less. I was bullied relentlessly for having my own opinions, punished, shunned, mocked, humiliated, etc. They hated being parents and I was sent away as much as possible every summer as they rejoiced in "Not being parents for the summer".
They couldn't be trusted, stealing a house from their friends, who made the mistake of showing them the house they were thinking of buying. My parents bought it immediately. They look at others as valuable if they are wealthy or impressive, or just will acquiesce and do what they want them to do. I never fit into this, having my own opinions and tastes. They put me down and rejoiced at my failures. They raised up higher if I was struggling or in crisis, mom especially enjoyed and even encouraged my pain. I was taken away from them for my safety at 16. Mom hated me even more and blamed me for everything ever since. Sociopathic narcs have NO empathy and are extremely vindictive. All my life I got therapy and stayed independent. I stopped contact later. They got worse with age. They would gladly destroy me to benefit themselves. Nope. Therapists always told me to "Run". And in the end, I have and it's the best thing I ever did. I finally have peace.

If they even smell a new support system, they run in full determination to destroy that as well.

Narcissists gather around sociopaths because sociopaths are bold and shameless.

My mom has done the silent treatment my whole life. I just learned recently that it's called stonewalling.
When everything you thought was "normal" is actually indicating severe mental illness. I've had to learn as a middle aged woman what normal actually is.

[LewisPuseyOK]

I had a friend when young who was a narcissistic psychopath, diagnosed before prison sentencing. Not outwardly violent or abusive, very charming. But when my usefulness had ended and I was lured into a violent assault I remembered other times he had set me up to be severely injured or even had experimented with homicide. It was crystal clear then that no contact was the only option if I valued my life.

[Brothelsprout]

I got out of a 4 year relationship with one about 7 months ago. We have a 3 year old who's in foster care now because I saw through her mask and confronted her and she tried to ruin me. Its a fun story but I'm stronger now than I ever have been and I'm on track to get my son back. Literally just got off the phone with my family lawyer. Things are looking good finally. If you find yourself in a relationship of any kind with one of these type. Don't unmask them. Just... Just run. Leave your belongings if you have to. Just don't look back.

[exx]

I was married to this person for 21 years while he projected all his negative attributes onto me. He claims i have anger issues and am defensive. Being away from him and out of his vortex provides so much more clarity.

Left with severe PTSD following a long miserable marriage and scary divorce.

[msdemeanour]

They have no self awareness. After betraying, disrespecting & sh*ting on you, they only blame somebody else. Might be their ex, their mother or one of their kids. It's never their fault you are hurting. They're spiritual parasites. Run the other way & never look back. 💌 Great video. Hugs from Australia.

Sociopaths are also vandals and they feel entitled to destroy anything they feel like destroying. Those people have criminal minds.

You are so Right on Target, Dr C.! This is my father, who is still "alive and kicking" at 95. I'm 64 and have had one heck of a healing challenge and process, starting just about 4 years ago. My dad has continued to try to destroy me in any and every way possible (ways too, of which people couldn't wrap their head around, except maybe Stephen King. "Good friends" have scoffed who I've carefully shared a few of those things with. "Wendy, why would your dad to that to you? That makes no sense, Wendy." ). I had to cut myself off from all of my family, extended family, longtime much loved family friends, and even longtime personal friends; he's preemptively gotten to every one of them (a vast array of flying monkeys that still come at me when I least expect it, and from people I've loved and trusted for as long as I can remember), weaving outlandish stories about me in his continuous attempt to crush and destroy me. He's very wealthy, and has bought everyone's allegiance, obeisance, and support. I thank God for God, and for God's special angels such as yourself and others who are dedicated to exposing the sickness and malintentions of these sorts of people. My mom passed away 3 years ago (that'sa horror story of itself). She had to hold her own with being with him in ruthless meanness and nastiness. I feel guilty "talking" about them outloud, I've protected their image for so long, even with all the immense, incredible abuse they've put me through since childhood (I'm 64). My selfhood was so screwed with, played like a funny "haha" game, and yet God has helped me my whole life to have enough strength and courage to keep marching onward and upward, not at all unscathed, but surviving from and through so much unspeakable and unspoken hell. Thank you so much Dr. C. for the kindness and gentleness with which you teach us this information! I am forever grateful!! 💝💝

Eventually, they begin to loose.Too many people remember their unpleasant experiences with them.They act out like children, and in the adult world, it doesn't go over well at all.Stuff piles up. Their history informs.
