How many psychopaths do you think you have met in everyday life, at school, at work, or on TV? The thing is, people who are "gifted" with such a personality are difficult to recognize and diagnose.

It is said that Hitler, Stalin, Napoleon, suffered from this disease with many, many complications. Some say that we can meet psychopaths among today's personalities.

A psychopath is incredibly difficult to recognize and point the finger because he has a great ability to influence those around him and even to manipulate them...

Doesn't that sound familiar? Precisely because such a person rarely shows his true face, his social behavior can cause great problems.

Psychologists' statistics show that 1% of the world's population carries the genes of this condition, but now it appears that this percentage has risen to 4% among social and political leaders because of selfishness and excessive ambition over such people. causing them often to sacrifice their friends and even family in order to achieve their obsessive goals. Again, won't it sound familiar?

On the other hand, scientists have estimated that psychopathy in men is about 10 times higher than in women!

Among the main traits of psychopaths are their ability to reach the top of the hierarchy through sweet, well-crafted words, and generous promises that they do not keep, an aura of charm, attractiveness, and the ability to draw people to their side by temporary acts of "honor" and "attachment" (I put these words in quotation marks because they represent only temporary means and not authentic values ​​of psychopaths).

Although they often manage to hide their true personalities, psychopaths can be recognized by those close to them, who have stayed with them long enough, and come to distinguish between the image they offer to the world and the one that reflects their character.

The difference between these two aspects is often shocking, and it is known especially by family members who cannot or do not want to publicize such things.

Often, a psychopath ends up exploiting one or more women, both physically and financially, by seizing anything that may be of use to him from these unfortunate daughters of Eve.

This side of their personality is known only by a wife, a girlfriend, a friend, or very close people... Because of the charisma that often characterizes them and the talent to use words anointed with all the ointments, it is extremely difficult. to give them away!

The psychopath is, first and foremost, someone who uses others, and who lives in a world where the emphasis is on "me" and "for me".

He loves himself too much, has little notion of altruism or humanity, and seldom considers it in the public interest to rise above his own interest. In fact, he seems to think that anyone who assumes such ideals can only be a fool, crazy or naive!

Another characteristic of the psychopath is the tendency to find pleasure and satisfaction when those in his immediate vicinity, especially his wife and children, are injured! He is accustomed to deceiving, lying, and saying things which he then denies with serenity, with great self-confidence, and even greater shamelessness.

In general, psychopaths "suffer" from a lack of conscience, honor, and shame. Very good at words, able to mimic emotions or feelings appropriate to various social situations, they lie without any embarrassment, and even if they end up apologizing for a certain behavior, this is as false as possible, because it does not reflect real remorse or regret.

It should be noted that psychopaths are undoubtedly narcissists, and because of this, they are not able to love and do not even have the notion of true love, so often their relationship ends in failure.

Women exist for them only to use them and satisfy their desires. Although they have the skill to prove that they love someone wholeheartedly, they are only pretending to achieve their goals and gain even more self-confidence.

Their inability to feel true love and genuine emotional attachment make them unable to build a sincere friendship. Because of this, their past lives are full of apparent friendships and even broken loves, because they are self-centered, and give up a friend or girlfriend as soon as they realize that they can no longer be useful in materializing their ambitions.

It is said that people with psychopathic personalities end up in social, political, or professional leadership positions succeed in attracting people with similar personality traits, leading to the formation of a real leading clan of psychopaths.

It's like talking about vampire or zombie movies, isn't it? Well, it seems that such clans do exist, and it deals with attracting as many advantages as possible to them, to the detriment of the many under their influence.

Unfortunately, this disease, recognized as a mental illness, has no cure, and all you can do is stay away from psychopaths to avoid their harmful influences, whether you meet them at home or not. work, school, or a political or social forum.

Good luck and beware of the psychopath
