[size=18pt]Psychopath, Chaopath (Sociopath) and Narcissist:[/size]

http://narcissism.tk/

i have this link saved in my phone. wink
wanted to share what i have learned cheesy cheesy
it will be a few posts so bare with me.

here are a few interesting facts about Psychos in particular...


1) A psychopath, during their preteen years (though not necessarily early preteen years) shows signs of regular cruelty to or indifference to cruelty to animals (when exposed to them, including insects) or people due to a lack of a long-term, loving care from the person or persons raising them with the teaching of good morals or inconsistent morals..

2) They are okay with seeing someone do an occasional good deed (though they won’t feel happy about it at all unless the deed is done to them) and may praise them for it and understand that good deeds are honorable, but have a hatred for people who do good deeds in general, hence why none of them have a charitable lifestyle, and if they are charitable, it is merely to give them the appearance of actually caring about others feeling happy (or appropriately sad in order to also be happy).

They are also highly resistant to being charitable even if it is to gain an advantage over others, which is because they strongly associate charity with goodness, which they hate. This is why they will accuse Christians of merely, “Shoving religion down everyone’s throat” and ignoring and not mentioning any good deeds Christians do no matter how many are done or how great, and may refer to those who do good as “goody-goodys”);

They are:

3) hypocritical in their rules and accusations and (due to having no conscience to let them know when they are doing wrong and their minds being narrowly focused on satisfying the desires of their heart rather than being careful to do what is logical and morally good).....

....

6)... By imitating what others say in certain situations and with assistance they may appear to be smarter and wiser than they really are (as can anyone who imitates well and gets good help), and so then appear to be a anything, including lawyer, physicist, mathematician, biologist, baby-sitter, priest or even a pastor, police officer, psychiatrist, psychologist or leader of a country. And with no conscience, they can act without showing signs of nervousness.

more to come.

7) Their mental shallowness is also evidenced by very stupid questions (shocking to a normal person), for example, if they ask someone to strip naked for them and get the reply, “It’s against my religion to”, they may reply with something like, “Well can’t you change your religion?” or “What is you stopped being religious?”.

8 ) Their mental shallowness is also evidenced by gullibility, sometimes great gullibility (shocking to a normal person). For example they show that they have a hard time (in general) determining real from not real no matter how absurd or clearly wrong a fiction is ... So when a person plays an obvious joke on a psychopath, the person playing the joke will find to his or her amazement (if they don’t realize the person was a psychopath), the psychopath taking the joke seriously.


They are:

9) without empathy (in other words won’t imagine themselves in the painful situation of someone else in order to understand that person’s pain due to a lack of love for others);

10) No remorse:.... don’t feel deep anger or sadness over seeing anyone wronged (except themselves) ... Some will fake tears and look you directly in the eyes
Re: Warning Signs Of Mental Disorder by Nobody: 1:14am On Sep 13, 2012
11) Their displays of sorrow over seeing someone wronged, if any, are sometimes combined with a look of bewilderment and/or awe, being fascinated by the misdeed.

12) Though they may sometimes feel sorrow over seeing someone else in a bad position or wronged, it does not last long, and are unwilling to give much help, especially not long, great, suffering unless lead to do so by a friend, parent or someone that they admire.

13) [size=18pt]Secretive.[/size] For example they may not reveal the full name of their any of their friends even if they are friends with you. They may give you the full names of imaginary people however, because you’ll never find them
Re: Warning Signs Of Mental Disorder by Nobody: 1:16am On Sep 13, 2012
They:

14) will experience fear and anxiety, including in great amounts when they believe they are in danger of feeling mental and physical pain or thinking about the possibility of such, but unlike non-psychopaths, will happily do moral wrongs and commit crimes (like stealing, destroying property, lying or committing adultery, regardless of whether or not anyone is being hurt of if they believe anyone will be hurt) if they don’t believe that there will be any painful consequences.feel great distress and worry when they perceive an immediate threat to their life-style. They can also have phobias.

15) They are emotionally shallow on immorality or good deeds (for example don’t feel anything or any deep anger of seeing someone do moral wrong or deep joy over seeing someone sacrifice themselves to help an innocent person or joy over someone suffering to help another who doesn’t deserve it – however they can and do feel great anger over themselves being wronged, especially if threatened by someone who can hinder their lifestyle – and at best experience someone deep wonderment or awe over seeing such things, which is also why their displays of sorrow over wrong-doing or someone suffering or dying lack a sad expression and they do not feel very sad).
Re: Warning Signs Of Mental Disorder by Nobody: 1:16am On Sep 13, 2012
They:

17) [size=18pt]may find kind responses to what they realize is their bad behavior to be extremely funny and laugh aloud;[/size]
Re: Warning Signs Of Mental Disorder by Nobody: 1:18am On Sep 13, 2012
18) try to display appropriate sorrow to having done wrong or seeing wrong done or over some sad thing (like a suffering child dying in front of them) if they think they may lose their advantage over others or be unable to gain an advantage over others if they don’t display this sorrow;


They are:

19) rude (for example will, when annoyed by someone, reply with a cold, annoyed or mocking tone sometimes combining them with expressions like, “well if you would let me finish” or “stop interrupting me”, and gross, annoying and hurtful behaviors, including showing blunt disinterest to a thing someone is trying to get them interested in rather than politely dismissing themselves or politely asking to be left to themselves or to do something else with the person who is trying to entertain them;

20) self-centered/cares more about themselves than anyone else (for example may brush off a request from a friend’s request for some emergency merely because they desire more sleep or hoard money to the hurt of others though not necessarily out of greed);
Re: Warning Signs Of Mental Disorder by Nobody: 1:21am On Sep 13, 2012
21) arrogant (for example sees themselves as much better than most people yet having no evidence for this, and may boast aloud of some existing or non-existent trait they have (like clairvoyance) thinking that that trait gives them great uniqueness and a level of goodness or intelligence that makes them much more worthy of attention than other things, including people,

22) are obsessed with finding uniqueness and non-repetition in others

23) often quick to lie to save or keep an appearance of being very unique, wise and or whatever their idea of “good” is;
Re: Warning Signs Of Mental Disorder by Nobody: 1:21am On Sep 13, 2012
[size=18pt]24) able to lie very well due to not being hindered by a conscience[/size].
Re: Warning Signs Of Mental Disorder by Nobody: 1:23am On Sep 13, 2012
26) live a parasitic lifestyle/take advantage of others in order to survive and avoid having to work either mentally or physically hard for long;

27) will do complex mental work only if they see absolutely no other likely way for them to accomplish their long term goal of having an easy-going life (for example doing math work that bores them in order to get through college);

28) have no conscience (and therefore feel no regret or sorrow or guilt regardless of how badly or how many times they disobey God);

29) have poor emotional self-control/impulsive (for example will touch a person in a place where that person requests not to be touched if they think that they can escape being punished for it, though they may not be promiscuous or display their lust openly out of fear of being rejected for their inability to please another sexually and not having adequate sexually-pleasing physical characteristics);
Re: Warning Signs Of Mental Disorder by Nobody: 1:24am On Sep 13, 2012
30) [size=18pt]are very resistant to accept that they’ve done wrong[/size] if it wasn’t intentional;
Re: Warning Signs Of Mental Disorder by Nobody: 1:24am On Sep 13, 2012
31) sadistic and cruel, taking glee in seeing someone else suffer or angry (for example will intentionally and repeatedly do wrong and laugh at seeing it greatly upset a person even if they see that their cruelty is causing great pain or damage to that person). Some when in an argument will be likely to say the other person when they upset them:

[size=18pt]“Wow. Such rage and sadness.”[/size]
Re: Warning Signs Of Mental Disorder by Nobody: 1:26am On Sep 13, 2012
32) They believe that they have an inherit right as a person (but not because of God’s word or the word of some other supposed god), to do whatever they desire to do (and may refer to it as their “free will”, which is a common dogma you can find in cults),

35) A psychopath, to protect his or her life-style, may attempt to ruin the life of, blackmail or murder the person who may ruin their life-style (for example if a psychopath suspects that someone is going to try to send them to jail, he may try to poison that person, or if he or she thinks he can get away with it, stab that person to death).

36) [size=18pt]Paranoid.[/size]
Re: Warning Signs Of Mental Disorder by Nobody: 1:29am On Sep 13, 2012
37) Masking by jobs: Psychopaths will try to appear to be nothing special at first so as to not try to attract scrutiny, and prefer common, secretive, or low supervision jobs so that they can more easily get away with their crimes.

If they feel they’ve achieved some level of so called untouchableness while still having obscurity, like having become a police detective or chief in some city that doesn’t stand out much or a high government intelligence agent, owner of a large private bank or corporation, or a drug lord, they will become more daring.

They will also be more likely to have a job which gives them direct control over the life of another, like street police officer or chief, soldier, president (who exists in a corrupt government) soldier on a battlefield or general, priest, bishop, pastor, church elder, court judge, doctor, nurse, teacher of children, school principle, baby-sitter or abortionist.

They may also settle for or also be a veterinarian. However, if the psychopath is the torture-loving type, and feels he won’t be able to have fun torturing anyone if the job he’s getting will prevent him from it, he may choose some other job that doesn’t appear to offer as much control, or none at all, or may even forsake having any job. ...

So, if he or she feels that being a wanderer doing odd jobs will allow him to “have more fun” then he or she will be more likely to take such a path in life.
Re: Warning Signs Of Mental Disorder by Nobody: 1:30am On Sep 13, 2012
38) They have no empathy/unempathetic.

39) Remorseless.

Note: A narcissist can also be psychopathic (have no conscience) or sociopathic (impulsive without a conscience).

If you know anyone who exhibits all or some of those....

Stay far and find ways to get them out of your lives.
Like I said, I have this link saved in my phone.

Anyone I meet will be put to the test and those I know, I evaluate them on that criteria.

REMEMBER AND KEEP IN MIND, Not everyone suffering from psychosis will look like this...

a comment from this video:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuB_ng5uVaI

Asperger's suffers and narcissists share a commonality in that both categories lack of empathy. [size=18pt]The main difference is that the narcissists requires 'narcissistic supply' in the form of attention, adulation and admiration. They are characterised by lying and manipulating. In a very simplistic summary - a narcissist is opportunistic and somewhat malevolent. They manipulate the feelings of others to maintain control over their environment and the people in their life[/size].

[size=18pt]Multiple Personality Disorder...[/size]
source: http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/multiple+personality+disorder

Definition
Multiple personality disorder, or MPD, is a mental disturbance classified as one of the dissociative disorders in the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV). It has been renamed dissociative identity disorder (DID). MPD or DID is defined as a condition in which "two or more distinct identities or personality states" alternate in controlling the patient's consciousness and behavior. Note: "Split personality" is not an accurate term for DID and should not be used as a synonym for schizophrenia.

>>>>>>>>>>> "One of the more frequently observed of the traits is a glib and superficial charm that allows the true sociopath to seduce other people, figuratively or literally -- a kind of glow or charisma that, initially, can make the sociopath seem more charming or more interesting than most of the normal people around him.

Identifying and Managing Antisocial Personality Clients
(By: Paul Fisher)

Source: http://www.fishermediation.com/library_antisocial-personality-clients.php

"If you find yourself often pitying someone who consistently hurts you or others, and who actively campaigns for sympathy, chances are you are dealing with a sociopath.

Never agree, out of pity or for other reasons, to help a sociopath conceal his or her true character.

Ignore the plea, "Please don't tell." When they say, "You owe me," you don't. When they say, "You are just like me," you are not. Others deserve to be warned."
