Unmasking the Mask: 69 Shocking Signs Psychopaths Use to Hide in Plain Sight
A few weeks later my mum calls his mum and finds out some things. The guy (we’ll call him E) had a rage fit and launched chairs, tables and who knows what else through windows, doors, anything in reach. It had apparently taken 3 police officers to pin him down, during this time he’d also apparently stripped naked. After a short interview he was commited to a hospital where he was diagnosed as a psychopath.
Some time later he came back here. Me and my mum ended up staying friends with the family, since I also knew E’s siblings really well and I went to their house. I decided before going I wasn’t going to treat him differently, as I believe even people like that deserve some form of normalcy even if they don’t understand it. Maybe it was because now I knew, but I realized just how…off he was. I’m not sure what it was exactly, but he could talk about some pretty messed up stuff completely straight faced, I specifically remember him saying he wanted to join ISIS so he could shoot people. He wasn’t particularly intelligent, so I never got the ‘Hannibal Lecter’ vibe, but I definately understand what people mean by a primal sort of fear. It’s the feeling of your body priming itself to bolt at the first sign of trouble, muscles tensing, subconciously judging how quickly you can get to the door etc.
I remember one time, after a particular, uh, enlightening conversation with E about how the Jews were secretly aliens, I stepped outside for a breather and spoke to his mum in the kitchen. I knew her pretty well, since I was in my mid teens by this point, so I asked her straight, “Mrs E, please don’t take this the wrong way, but if E has one of his moments when I’m around, what do I do?”. She sighed, looked at me and said, “Whatever you have to do”. She’d apparently been told by the psychology team there was a very high likelyhood E would try to k**l one of the family some day and she’d explained to the others there was no shame in defending themselves.
