This is the best description I've ever found online and every word is my experience. Unfortunately, when you run they'll run after you to tell you they're NOT liars or bad people, while at the same time telling you they don't CARE what you think. When the anger goes and healing happens all you can really do is pity them.
I AM GOD. The last line in the video. Sums it all up. It's what ALL psychopaths truly believe. My husband will take credit for a beautiful sunset, painting, color, anything. If I remark on something he will say "you're welcome, I created it" or some comeback where he takes credit for it. I thought he was being funny. Oh no. He truly, sickly, sadly believes that it somehow exists because of him. Do not fool yourselves. Evil is real.
Mri's (checking for psychopathy) before medical school acceptance? Sounds good to me!
Wow...accurate portrayal....and the evil that surrounds them is so difficult to be near. The way they collect their team of supporters and admirers...so uncaring and cold...the way they use, abuse, discard.....I know those of us they live with someone who thinks they are actually above God know how real the evil is...and how difficult to get away from as well...
Even a wife's medical emergency has to be all about him. As long as she's critically ill, he's getting attention for being the poor devoted husband of a critically ill wife and has to be seen as her "savior".
Oh what's that movie? He's it alright!!
Very good descriptions of characteristics and actions, however, I feel this list is very sexist. My abuser, who I believe to be a narcissistic sociopath, is a woman. This means items like # 29 are true for both sexes. My former fiancee has ruined our family by abducting our 6 month old son across state lines and fabricating a story to manufacture jurisdiction in her home state to get her way. She has exhibited violence by attacking me with our son in her arms and has shown zero regard for my son's safety or rights as well as mine. I understand in my research that men are more likely than women to be narcissists, psychopaths and sociopaths, however this does not mean that ONLY men are narcissists, psychopaths and sociopaths. I would appreciate change in the verbiage to reflect a more balanced view to the victims and the abusers. Thank you.
