It’s a complex area of study. Psychopaths display a wide variety of behavior which makes the condition difficult to identify and diagnose. There is no one overwhelming trait. But more worrying in the field of dating is the estimate that one percent of the general population are psychopaths!
ThugVillage has always been concerned about your safety when dating. So we present to you our definitive guide on how to avoid ending up with a psychopath. Not all psychopaths end up murderers and criminals. Some become successful in certain areas (notable politics and the media) whilst others can spend their lives as underachievers. Here we're more worried about the types that receive gratification
from rather violent and disturbing tendencies. We should point out that following the guide below is no guarantee that you will not end up saying 'I Do' to a rather well disguised psychopath. However it should minimize the chances of that ever happening. Apply the following quiz to your partner. Answers are points based so be ready with a pen and paper. Should you arrive at a definitive conclusion that she is indeed a morbid psychopath, we advise you to quietly leave the house on any pretext and get as far away from her as possible. Like the next country. Psychopaths have an awful tendency to become fixated on objects - you. Illusions of Self-Worth Does she think she is the most important thing in the world? Does the world revolve around her? Has she ever broken down uncontrollably when she thought for a fleeting second that your world did not consist of her to the exclusion of everyone else? Or that you held God in higher esteem? Be on your guard. Grandiose sense of self worth is one of the personality traits of psychopaths. Think of Hitler and his sense of self worth. That’s what you’re aiming to diagnose. If you think she fulfills this trait award her one point. False Charm Do you ever get the feeling that her charm is fleeting and thinly veiled? Has she ever told you you are the sexiest - but you don't think she meant it? Superficial charm and an inability to offer sincere compliments should be a warning signal. Award her one point if you believe she is lacking in this department. No Life Plan / Absolute Life Plan Is she living in the moment? Does she display a complete lack of any goal or aim in life? Does her life plan extend only over the next 24 hours with major blanks over items like kids, marriage and homes? Award her a full two points. On the other extreme if she can display an immediate and detailed life plan be worried. If she can tell you exactly when you will be a father, what month you will be getting married in and the location of your third home then you may as well go ahead and award her a further three points. Lack of Empathy
When you are sick does she shrug? When husky the Labrador passed away after being run over by an eighteen wheeler did she immediately suggest burning the dog house as it was unsightly? Does she fail to comprehend the pain of a hangover? Above all others we find a lack of empathy the most distressing to see in a girlfriend. If you wonder does she have a heart then award a full five points to her tally. Deceitfulnes / Manipulation
Is she is a conniving, manipulative bitch? Think back hard and remember any time she has guilt tricked you into doing something. Has she ever won her way with crocodile tears? Has she sexually manipulated you into doing things? Manipulation and deceitfulness aid a psychopath in their sense of self worth. Two points should be awarded for displaying this behavior.
Aggressive Behavior Has she ever flung some crockery at you? Hit you? Do you flinch when she's in a bad mood and brushes past you? Has she ever attacked a friend of associate? Can she go from pleasant cute girl to incandescent with rage? Did she go nuclear when she found you in bed with her friend? A full 10 points should be totted onto the total. Pathological Lying If she cannot tell the truth, or invents fantastic stories about her trip to the shops then its time to start dialing 999. Lying ties in with other personality traits of psychopaths - self worth, narcissism, poor judgment, boredom with life and deceitfulness amongst others. Add one point to her total. She may of course be simply covering the multiple affairs she's having. If so add a further two points to her total.  If your final score is over 20 we advice immediate therapy. Not for her - for you. Don't do breakup with her. Traumatic events can cause the condition to worsen. And do you really want to aggravate her? We advise gently easing yourself from her life. Having accomplished this you should of course undertake a deed poll to change your name, move away from the area and avoid all contact with previous haunts.
With a bit of luck she'll move on rather quickly. One final trait of psychopaths is their promiscuous sexual behavior. |
