As a personality disorder, psychopathy is more common than we think. Generally, we associate the psychopath with the criminal, influenced by the cinema, but none of that. Psychopathic disorder does not make you a serial killer, and your neighbor, your boss, or even your partner may be a psychopath. Discover the traits that define a psychopath and tell us if you recognize someone around you.
Psychopaths don’t know empathy
Empathy, an absolutely necessary trait in social relationships, is not something psychopaths possess. They do not put themselves in the other’s place, they are not capable of understanding the other and they are not interested in making the effort. If they console you, rest assured that it is posturing or mere social farce.
The narcissism of psychopaths
A psychopath thinks highly of himself. He generally believes himself to be smarter than the others and more powerful. And that is why the world revolves around you.
Psychopaths are also manipulative
That feeling of power comes from their manipulative nature. Manipulation is a tool that they handle perfectly because anything goes to achieve their purposes, whatever they may be.
The charm of psychopaths
Did you know that psychopaths are usually lovely people? They tend to be charismatic, funny, interesting and outgoing, something that makes things much easier for them when it comes to manipulating you.
The irresponsibility problems of psychopaths
But they have trouble managing their responsibilities. That is why they will never admit a mistake and asking for forgiveness is not part of their plans.
Psychopaths don’t feel guilty.
Because it’s not that they feel guilty about anything. If they deceive you, if they manipulate you, if they are using you, it is because they feel they have the right and the power to do so. There are no regrets or sense of guilt.
The lies of psychopaths
In addition to being psychopaths, they are also compulsive liars. Their whole life is a lie that they pass on to you without any remorse. And the lies can range from the most inconsequential to the most important issues.
Boredom in psychopaths
Psychopaths get bored quickly. Of his work, of his vital moment and perhaps even of his prey. That is why it is common for them to change their profession, city or interests a lot.
The abuse of psychopaths
With all these characteristics, psychopaths feel a great need to control everything and everyone and do not hesitate to abuse those around them.
