Are you in a relationship that seems a bit difficult? Do you question yourself thinking, “Maybe it really IS all my fault.” Sometimes you may feel like you are dealing with two different people, and you begin walking on egg shells – not knowing what might set your partner off into a rage. If you think this might be you, check out these 5 signs that you might be dealing with a psychopath.
Their privileged but try to play the victim – I think pretty much everyone know someone like this and it sucks to argue with them. It’s like when a boy grows up in a middle class family and tries to tell a girl from a very poor family, that he understands her and had to work hard for everything he has. The reality is that these two scenarios are completely different, and when you try to do this, it undermines the experience of someone else by trying to make it your own.
They shift moods rapidly – In an argument, they may go from being objective or compassionate to vicious and personal in a split second. They may flatter you and apologize and attack you again a minute later. They’re fighting to control the narrative.
They’re constantly condescending – Psychopaths tend to think there sh*t don’t stink, so to speak. They tend to keep a calm, cool demeanor that enables them to seem in control. This is then utilized to talk down to their debate opponent.
They can’t own it when they make a mistake – With psychopaths, their words and actions are almost never in alignment and they are constantly playing the victim card. If they messed up, they pass the blame to someone else. More than anything, they want you to be grateful for them in your life, no matter how crappy they treat you.
They project themselves on to you – In the most heated of arguments, a psychopath will try to pin their own worst qualities on you. They try to smear your character with their own flaws to take the heat off of themselves. They want you to seem like the crazy one. ~Higher Perspectives
