Unmasking the Mask: 69 Shocking Signs Psychopaths Use to Hide in Plain Sight
Common denominator appears to be “utter incapability to empathize” with other humans.
You notice almost imperceptible facial features that betray their happiness when talking about the misery of others. Maybe even happiness is too strong a word. Curiosity would be more apt. They see people as objects. Some clients say things that are attention seeking or for shock value. People with true antisocial personality disorder are more likely to try and act they way they think you expect them to, but they can’t because they don’t feel things the way people normally would. Their small facial expressions give them away. It’s like you’re sitting across from someone who is giving you the most nauseating sense of uncanny valley. Also therapist here, not psychologist.
Not a psychologist. But I know a person who is diagnosed high on spectrum. Crazy interesting dude that you never fully trust. Met him through parties at university. He was THE party guy. Always hosted the best ones, knew tons of people, your typical idolized party kid that everyone had wanted to be friends with. I always thought he was a liar and never really gave him a ton of my time or energy, but friends liked his parties so we went.
Went for a smoke one day and he followed me down to talk and was trying to pull all his usual stuff. The micro facial expressions explains a lot why I didn’t believe him in almost everything. He slept with a lot of girls, like a lot. I never thought he seemed the type to just be a h***y player, couldn’t ever put my finger on why.
