Psychopaths: Who Are These People? - Paperback

Have you met me?

Fake and superficial charm

Shows no empathy, remorse, or emotional connection

Controls and intimidates others

Self-centered and manipulative

Inflicts psychological, emotional, and verbally abusive--covert and overt

Pathological liar

Psychopaths exhibit specific red flags, including deceptiveness, pathological lying, deceitfulness, unpredictability, aggressive behaviors, and the inability to accept responsibility for their actions. Psychopaths exact devastating emotional, psychological, and physical tolls on their victims. Psychopaths, whether in the workplace or personal relationships, contribute to intense conflict within families, friends, children, and coworkers. Many survivors of psychopathic relationships experience physical ailments like fibromyalgia, headaches, cardiac issues, adrenal gland insufficiency, cancer, and changes in their hippocampus with extended exposure to psychopath abuse.

Survivors of psychopathic relationships can advocate for themselves by being knowledgeable about signs of psychopathic behaviors and understanding the control the psychopath is trying to gain over them. Victims of psychopaths should trust their instincts, and if there is an uneasy feeling about an individual, be cautious or, better yet, run!
