The more honest and caring you are, the more vulnerable you are to such people, as it is hard to believe those people can do what they do.

Watch for the creepy smile. They can’t hide their pleasure when you are experiencing turmoil or pain. The little corners of their mouth go up.

[aashidhaniya]

Some of the characteristics that made me a prey to a psychopath were 1) too high agreebleness 2) inadequate sense of self 3) systematic deprivation of affection by parents 4) cognitively distorted worldview

[kimmichaluk]

This should be a mandatory class for such young students

Innocent people have no comprehension of evil. It’s hard to look out for something you don’t see.

[josegrullon]

They never change, on the contrary they get worst. Run and stay running.

If I had professors like this I probably would have never dropped out.

What I've learned is psychopaths are hypervigilant all the time. They're focused on the next goal, no matter the cost. Emotional maturity of traumatized children. They will never admit fear. They may shed a tear to lure or appear to have orchestrated vulnerability. Their mindset is the opposite of what everyone is thinking usually. Highly competitive. Calm people irk them. They can create chaos around them so they can appear calm or the hero.

I’m always weary of people that never apologise.

A lot of psychopaths are covert. And the most surprising thing is they are everywhere. The more compassionate and polite you are they target you

[Samir-nuwt]

The worst and most devastating is when certain family members display this behavior 😔

[AliciaGuitar]

I have developmental disabilities and it made me prime prey for narcissists. I am 43 but socially i feel like i am still 12. Learning about psychology has helped me stay free of narcissistic abuse for 10 years!

[asceticsceptic]

One of the most dangerous things that can happen to the narcissistic psychopath is when their victims realize that they've encountered someone who is truly evil. The emotions which accompanies such a realization are unimaginable. And this is when the decent human being is in danger of morphing into something that closely resembles a psychopath out of their desire for vengeance.

Like the devil, the psychopaths greatest trick is fooling you into not believing they are psychopaths.

[Corrupted]

The biggest problem is: Once you had a toxic relationship, you wont just forget these experiences and try to learn from it, being more careful with noticing behaviour creates a weird loop where you constantly doubt your fears and the reasoning for why someone does something - you doubt and foolishly believe everything at the same time

[survivalsquid]

I like that he brings up our tendency to be polite even though our instincts tell us something is wrong and it can get you hurt or killed. If you're in a weird spot and that little voice tells you something is up, speak up, forget being polite. If you stumble across a cougar in the woods you throw up your hands and get big and loud, a predator looks for prey not something that looks like it can fight back.

[jessicasmith]

Grew up with a narcissistic psychopathic mother, misdiagnosed as bipolar. This is an extremely accurate lecture. Don't forget that gaslighting and body language are huge factors too.

[fiftyfiftylifestyle]

This is why we need to learn to communicate energetically and trust our intuition. The body never lies.

[bonivermectin]

Dated one, I distinctly remember thinking one day "he doesn't feel human." Let me tell ya, the shame and regret of being deceived has not gone away and it's been years.

[donatabluebird]

To my fellow empaths, we sense it a mile away. Please just believe your intuition, dont be like me and think that its false, or that you dont have a choice, or that everyone is like that. Its NOT. If you have a feeling, even a small one, run and keep running. Dont argue, dont engage, just be careful of the predator and take care of your family.
