Unmasking the Mask: 69 Shocking Signs Psychopaths Use to Hide in Plain Sight
Another one of these persons escaped justice. A very, very smart person. It was no-one’s fault; the investigation was excellent, the police were great, everything lined up and a lot of justice was achieved. That person, however, escaped justice by being very, very smart. They were responsible for very serious, sustained offending and would definitely be classed as a psychopath.
Last, I met a friend of a person who used to be within my social circle who was also victimised in their childhood. I have a suspicion, without any solid evidence, that they have committed serious crimes. They hold down a professional job and are very successful in life. From the standpoint of someone who cannot diagnose psychopathy and was not treating or analysing them, but has studied it, I would say that they lack any real empathy or conscience. A lot of their emotions (but not all) seemed to me to be a simulated and conscious act.
The a**se they suffered was of the worst possible kind. As a result they were wary of most men, but warmed up to me a little due to the work I do.
A**se and neglect during the formative years seem to be a very common thread for many criminals and psychopaths. That said, I dare say there are some who are just wrong in the head, but I, personally, haven’t encountered any of that sort.
I’ll end this already-too-long post with a word of caution to everyone reading. It’s very easy to be horrified of the actions of psychopaths and criminals. It’s easy to be fascinated by their psychology. But these are *people*, just like we are. Most of the time, their actions can be traced back to what happened to them, how they interpreted it, how they learned from their life experiences.
