Bottom line: If something feels weird, it is weird. TRUST YOUR INTUITION!!! It's the only thing they cannot control. Gut instict. Survival instict.

In my experience, they try to shut you down as a human little by little. Telling you that you talk too much, feel too much, care too much, emote too much, work too much, clean too much, talk to your friends too much, eat too much, drink too much, exercise too much, etc. Eventually, you just shut down everything in order not to annoy them. Then you end up a miserable captive.

I had a relationship with a narcissist. I can’t tell you how damaging relationships with these people are. It’s beyond what I thought possible. It’s been 3 years since I went no contact with him and I’m still healing and will be for a long time.

I think one reason why the initial flattery is soo over-the-top is also because psychopaths just know that only people who can be potential victims will fall for it. It's a kind of selection process before starting their real work.

"They're saying the words but you're not feeling an emotion match up with it" - absolutely fascinating!!

Becuase we were taught not to judge people and to give everyone a chance. Trust your gut ladies.

I briefly dated someone who clearly had psychopathic traits. He truly scared me at times and instead of apologizing, he was offended when I told him so. He also wanted to move our relationship waaaay too fast.

You don’t try to fix other people, you need to protect yourself. Don’t allow yourself to get emotionally involved too early. Don’t sleep with them if you don’t know them. When you see a problem, be honest with yourself. What is their background? Do a background check. Talk to their friends-if they have any. Be careful-they are out there looking for kind people who have empathy and will try to fix them. Lonely-get a dog. If they ask for money-run. If they want to move in with you too soon, don’t let them.

I dated a psychopath for just 3 months. I caught him in one lie after another and broke up with him. He spread lies about me all over town, and almost strangled me to death. The one sign I will look for now is when someone is overwhelming with compliments and coming on too strong.

I was raised by a psycho narcissist. I attracted people like this my whole life. I didn’t snap out of in until I was about 34. The self hatred is real. I’m 38 now and I’m still angry with myself for not seeing the red flags. I neglected my gut and intuition. That realization creates a different kind of trauma. It makes you question everything about yourself. I trust no one now, I can’t even hug a new person. Healing from this kind of abuse will take more years than what I have left to live.

20 years married to a narcissistic psychopath. Been divorced from him 28 years now. Still healing. No romantic relationship since. Can’t bring myself to risk hooking up with another. The fear is still there. I have been through counseling, EMDR treatment, hypnosis, but the fear of another relationship scares the hell out of me….still. He did a lot of damage.

I dated a psychopath. He was so good to me and I thought I had met the best person in the world. Every single day with him was good. He was my gentle place to land, he was incredibly sweet, and my friends and family adored him. We were together for 3 years. One day out of the blue, he looked at me with cold dead eyes. It still gives me chills to think about the unmistakable look of a psychopath when they show you who they really are. He said "This is the real me." He left me with zero empathy. No explanation. No emotion at all. I've never seen a person look like that. The pain was intense and I feel forever changed. I'm afraid to be happy. I'm afraid any happiness I feel now will end up being fake. Psychopaths are charming and they are manipulative predators that make you doubt your own ability to discern what's real and what's not. Thank you for this video. I wish I had seen it sooner.

Now it makes sense why I’ve never dated a psychopath. Whenever people come on too strong, I run away.

When we are children our parents negate our perceptions. We are told we don’t know what we’re talking about. This sends a message to us children to not trust our own observations. It took me years to recover from my childhood trauma and finally realized I was correct in my perceptions 💯%. This really damages our self esteem and trusting who we are. I went no contact from my family of origin many years ago.

When a person constantly talks badly about their ex's,RUN.

YES.  Be VERY wary of the constant, immediate personal questions. They aren't trying to bond with you, they are gathering intel.

I dated a psychopath he was extremely narcissistic, I took a long time to heal , but now I’m much stronger .

"It is not necessary for aggression or violence to be present in order to commit evil, simply lacking empathy and understanding is enough." That right there is key to understanding a psychopath, is understanding that they operate from an empty space...thays why they devour others emotions...because they don't really have any

First guy I dated after relationship ended with suspected psychopath, I got very upset about something and was like sobbing in front of this new guy and then I braced myself for the reaction I usually got when I was emotional, which was criticism, invalidation of feelings, blame, or just confusion, and instead got sympathy and I was shocked. I had been with decent people before, obviously, but I basically forgot that most people feel bad when someone is sobbing in front of them.
