Unmasking the Mask: 69 Shocking Signs Psychopaths Use to Hide in Plain Sight
They have strong influence over others because of their ability to feel nothing when manipulating others, and this is how they exert control over others. They will do whatever it takes in order to come out on top of a situation with no actual regard for others lives or feelings. They may fake their feelings or reactions to continue to manipulate those around them, and they get pleasure over having control over other people and feeling like they’re pulling all the strings.
So after reading a lot of these it’s worth mentioning the following:
1. Psychologists rarely even use the term psychopath anymore. Those disorders which would fall under the umbrella of psychopathy are preferred to the otherwise generic and easily confused term of “psychopath” (note how many people frequently conflate psychopathy with narcissism. There’s a narcissism personality disorder which fits many models of psychopathy, but not all so-called psychopaths are narcissists.)
2. It often doesn’t take training in psychology to spot so-called psychopaths. Formal training is needed to diagnose and treat it, but our brains are highly tuned to pick up on small things that our higher consciousness is often otherwise unaware of. This isn’t to say that we should purely trust our gut, we’re more often wrong than we’d like to admit, but how we feel about first impressions is often very important.
3. Far more people exhibit features of various “psychopathic” personality disorders than most realize. The vast majority of these people, however, live fairly ordinary, productive lives and don’t exhibit violent tendencies. It has even been argued that psychopaths are an important evolutionary element, giving us people who can detach themselves from the human experience in order to provide valuable insights or behaviors the rest of us couldn’t fathom.
