    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.

      Same here. It will be 3 years for me in May & I am still shocked that I am picking up the pieces of my life and still just trying to find who I am again to this very day. I still have at least one thought of my ex every day (not missing them at all...just like ruminating thoughts about the way something went or whatever...mostly just wondering how my puppy is doing since they stole my dog from me & with the financial situation they left me in at the time, there really wasn't anything I could do about it despite my best efforts to fight back). Genuinely wishing you healing and peace on your journey...And most importantly, I wish you self-love and that you would know your inherent worth simply bc you exist and are uniquely YOU. I know that's been the hardest for me...trying to figure out who the heck I even am anymore and learning to love myself-or at the very minimum, at least learn how to stop blaming & berating myself. It's an excruciating, insidious battle that only those of us who have walked it can even fathom and I'm wishing the best things for you as you go along in your journey. Someone once told me this and it's the one thing I try to hold onto when I'm full of self-doubt, pain, or bitterness...
      "You may not get to actually see or hear about them suffering the consequences that their actions create in their own life-and on the surface, it may LOOK like there aren't any, but rest assured, the biggest punishment for them is simply that they are who they are." It's pure torture inside for them to be the shitty, disgusting, empty, devoid of empathy "human" that they are...even if they put up a facade & are good at hiding it.

    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.

      This sounds familiar to me also- the turning the tables on you. It feels so invasive, and twisted. The sense of they're violating my emotions, my perception of things, my boundaries. This person really liked to do this, make himself the victim, when he was the offender. He was so manipulative, he got me to feel sorry for him. To the point of apologising to him, when he was lying, and hiding things from me and more. He made me feel tied up in knots, couldn't even respond in the moment, as my sense of reality was being messed with, I needed time to disentangle myself, separate my feelings from his, and respond appropriately. He showed up in my life, and asked me out, in the end, he acted and said I was "disturbing" him with my reactions. Well excuse me for having a normal human reaction to my being disrespected and mistreated.i

    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.

    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 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.

I've always want to escape or someone to take me and save me. But I'm not sure if now I'm messed up too. I think there Is a large part of me that is toxic. When I'm feeling fine Is the only time when I'm miles away from them but in reality they are always present in my mind or in my beaviour.
      Not to mention the fact that here in Italy, if you stop seeing your parents and sibilings, you are considered an asshole and for everyone YOU are the wrong.

      @@rupalitupe7783 My advice is stay single for a long time. As mentioned in the vid, they prey on your weaknesses. I discovered areas of trauma I wasn't even aware of. I've been alone for 5 & 1/2 yrs (since I had my son) & am feeling pretty bullet proof. For me it has taken that long b/c the trauma as a teen was so bad and complicated. But you need to feel like you don't need another person to feel complete. That way, if someone treats you shit (as they do when they have an off moment, ie. the mask slips) you can say, ''Bye!!'' and never go back but instead go forward and find someone else who treats you like you're truly special all the time. Also, take time to get to know someone, mimic old school dating. Best of luck and blessings for the future xxoo

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.

The crystal glass would never be the same no matter what. That is why it's important to apply wisdom when dealing with our partners and i believe smartness is essential in any relationship. I got help from (cybertech-tracker) as he helped cloned my cheating husband's phone and I got access to all his phone Call logs, Text messages, Facebook, Instagram, Whats-app, Skype, Kik, Twitter, Snap-chat, Email, i-cloud and social media chats without touching his phone. My husband was a cheating Narcissist but I'm glad to uncover his deceits, secrets and Infidelity. All I did was share my husband’s phone number with (cybertech-tracker) and i was able to read his recent and deleted messages from my phone without laying my hands on his phone and he has no idea his phone has been cloned. I was hurt when i saw a picture of my husband and his lover kissing, i felt so bad about infidelity. I’m here in Florida, USA and was able to access his phone while he was away cheating in the UK and saw all the proofs i needed for a divorce and even terrible things they had planned. He also does hacking of account or any other type of hacking, background check up and retrieval of data. His services are trusted and guaranteed and also affordable. Contact this great hacker via Gmail (cybertechtracker) or text him directly on his phone and via Whats-app : +1 (202) 697-7171.

    2.cheating and lying..has had affair with 4 ladies which I have never known..every word that came out from his mouth was a lie.
    3.sex is just sex..never love making.no emotional attachment..emotionally absent throughout the relationship in general
    4. physical and verbal abuse and blackmails whenever I tried to leave or tried to be more independent.
    5.no remorse when got caught cheating..said it's ok.not a big deal.doesnt feel empathy for anyone.no sense of guilt
    6. Extremely greedy for money n fame
    I think psychopaths are extremely dangerous to be in a relationship. .dont ignore the signs and dont hesitate to leave if you suspect your partner to be a psychopath.

    When he says to make sure your next partner knows what you went through (with a psychopath or narcissist) that's something to do with caution. Many narcissists and psychopaths seek out people who have already been abused because they know that they're pre-qualified to be open to manipulation. They will act very concerned and caring and then use everything you told them to manipulate you again. That happened to me, twice, until I fully healed using a trauma recovery programme designed to heal narcissistic abuse completely (Melanie Tonia Evan's NARP programme) You need to wait until you're sure that you're with a decent and normal person before you recite your relationship history in such detail. Then it can be used as a place to build trust from not as a stepping stone into further abuse.

      Like tons of times I have a conversation with girls in my classes over the years where you’d express interest in something completely obscure to everyone in the room, then later these people would inquire about it and say hey that’s pretty interesting and blah blah blah so they can just get a chance to talk to you.
      Is it psychopathic to employ this method of social strategy? No. It’s simply just giving leeway for these people to enter into your own headspace so you can be introduced to them.
      However, yes. You’re right. If they do this in the long run and then suddenly drop interest in the topic, showing they never cared in the first place. Yes, that’s completely fucked.

      If you have had any experience with a sociopath, you can tell the difference between flattery and pretending to have a common interest to love bombing. Love bombing is really over the top. Also, they must tick several other boxes to be sociopathic. For instance, there is usually a pattern of pathological lying, even when it's more convenient to tell the truth. They are often extremely charming, and they play victim to get you to feel sorry for them. Their pity stories are completely made up. I only know these things because I embarked on a course of study of sociopaths after I inadvertently dated one in 2008. Sadly, they are so convincing and sincere sounding that it takes getting played by one before you can recognize them.

I understand that I ended up with him because of my low self-steem, but my experience with that type of person taught me that at least I have my own personality and I'm beautiful.

      It's a sad twist of irony that even though this guy was ostensibly a smart, interesting, and funny person who allegedly didn't hurt anyone, and thus a very compelling case to studying psychopaths and dealing with integrating them more properly into society (this is impossible in American society, the whole culture is literally narcissistic and sociopathic in the extreme and its values and economic system are utterly toxic) given that on average I think about 1 in 25 people are supposed to be psychopathic or sociopathic, and that clearly means that serial killers are only the tiniest outliers. So I think the sad irony is that this guy asked his friends and family in all brutal honesty and they basically described him as a cold unempathetic assholeish kind of character, and he just didn't knew that about himself. I think that paucity in self reflection is quite possibly the biggest problem in the narcissists and psychopaths, who at least ASPD seem to know fully well that they are but still somehow seem not to self reflect enough, maybe partly due to the way their own empathy/socializing and inner world works. Narcissists don't because they're expert survivalists of their own ego, even if that ego shielding means they fucking suck at being survivalists anywhere else.
      So I do think that it's really sad for the family members or lovers who can see this person as someone they shared time with and really wanted to love them, and even if you cognitively know better still can't help but be deeply hurt and driven insane being around them. I think The Psychopath Nextdoor was a pretty decent book too, and would advise anyone to check out Political Ponerology--the actual source material, not the psychotic woke right bullshit now surrounding it (which is hilarious given they literally went to jail for some NFT conman who's a textbook case of a clinical psychopath). Andrew Liebawscski idk how to spell that Polish name, apparently the Soviets confiscated his work and destroyed it so he had to reassemble some from memory, it basically posited that the Soviet ruling class was psychopathic, and that by extension most of our rulers tend to be psychopaths, sociopaths, and narcissists.
      I also take rather severe issue with lumping Borderlines in there too btw. Mainly because BPD is just tending toward manipulative but it really just doesn't even look at all like the rest of cluster B, because borderlines are, like avoidant personality disorder etc., operating from a very central lack of love security and hence deeply rooted insecurity and fear of abandonment, that they then sometimes act out like a drug addict trying dope fiend larceny on people to get their fix or deal with their own wild emotions and fear of being unloved.
      Fear
      of
      being
      unloved.
      Do note that and see how this is so very different than the narcissist, sociopath, and psychopath at the most basic fundamental level? Shit like this makes it difficult for me to take psychiatry seriously at all, which the DSM-V is just nuts itself far as I've seen (let's be real here, transexuality is a mental illness and an identity disturbance, saying otherwise just proves this field is not a science or operating as such and never has been, and relies on flimsy neuroscience pretexts to back themself up).
      So I just cannot see Borderline as being even remotely like the other two, and if you want to put histrionic and avoidant together, fine. But trying to call BPD the same as a psychopath is like trying to call anyone and everyone that uses manipulative behaviour a psychopath--there is a clear difference.

I heard her outright saying "this is more a guideline" than labeling people in another video.

    This guy is rite. My ex was a true diagnoses psychopath. The court appointed a shrink we both had to go see during our court case. She asked me to come see her alone. After she had spoken to my ex. So i did. She told me that in all her 25 years of counseling people she was going to tell me something she had Never had to say to anyone before. And that was to move away! Get out! Get as far as i could get! Her advice to me was to move in the middle of the night. Just to make sure i got away safely. She told me she would talk to the judge, and assured me everything would be ok. That i wouldn't have to go to the last court case my lawyer and her would advocate on my behalf. So i moved to another city with my two children and i have Never looked back. She also told me the things my ex had said to her in his meeting's with her. She told me to NEVER go anywhere alone. And to not tell anyone were i was going. Not relatives! Not friends! No one! And to always! always! Look and pay attention to my surrounding! Change my phone number, And to get it unlisted! She even told me to get my utilities in someone else's name for my safety. The day he realized i had left the home i was living in he went syco! And had to be hospitalized for loosing his mind. Iv found out through friends in the police force that he has been hospitalized several times since i left. I was granted a divorce. And he married again. He beat her up to just like he did to me and my kids. He cheated on her too several times. He has been in other relationship's. However i still have family through my now marriage that live in the town next to him, and he is still trying to find out were i and my kids live. They are grown up now with kids of their own. And the last thing they want is to see that sycophantic anywhere near them. Both my kids have said if he comes around they will get a restraining order. I do want to say its funny how these PEOPLE Claim to love you. Or They say they only want to see the kids. Even now. But very quickly who ever they are speaking to quickly realize's its NOT the KIDS they want to see. Its YOU THEIR TRYING TO GET TO!! When a sycophantic'so second, or third word out of their mouth's are, do you know were my ex wife lives? Is she still married to that other guy? Whats his name again? Is she dating anyone? Does she work? Were does she work? Or he is still trying to gain sympathy from those he's talking to by saying you left him for someone else. Or constantly runs around blaming your now husband for you not returning to him. Even though your new husband wasn't the reason you broke up in the first place. Ya he's only interests in you! He's still trying to get to you! Not your kids.

    The difference in someone saying to someone "you're the most beautiful person I've met in my whole life" and "you're beautiful" is subtle but pretty significant. The former brings an element of narcissism into the statement, ie the person saying it is putting themselves first by making them the "judge" of your beauty, and this puts pressure on you to meet their expectations/standards. However, saying to someone "you're beautiful" is a lovely throwaway, unconditional gesture which makes the other person just feel special, with no obligations at all.

Reading the comments here, you can see the chaos left behind from dating a psychopath/narcissist, and this is the first video I have ever seen on how to date someone triggered by their past trauma. There are so many people now coming forward with their abuse stories, so it’s nice to hear how a new partner can be supportive of someone who has experienced this. I think there needs to be more of this content, as I’m sure this is not easy for people to navigate.

I would add, after a particularly bad experience, that the second you think you're being too harsh or judgmental or second guessing your inclination toward someone (that "off" feeling you're getting) you should RUN, don't walk to the nearest exit. That is your big red flag. After several months of drama and not listening enough to myself, I finally got out with the help of law enforcement. If nothing else, please always do a gut check. You're smart, kind and empathetic or you wouldn't be here, so know that you're not being too judgmental or harsh; your inner self is giving you a warning. Listen to it.

    He neglected to mention major clues. They have LOTS of charm and charisma, are fun to be around because it's stimulating and enjoyable for any of us to be around someone who always says something humorous, is quick witted and puts those around them in a good mood. People are drawn to them this way when they are 'on' in social situations. Also, they have no anxiety, they have nerves of steel and are risk-takers. A normal person's usual social anxiety talking to someone they are attracted to, and hoping to get something started with them, or at a party, etc., usually makes the other person a little ill at ease as well, because we empathize with them - maybe even subliminally. There is no easy or humorous social banter to make us laugh, feel good, etc.. (unless the other person is a caregiver type and finds fulfillment in "helping", in this case helping the nervous person feel more comfortable.) When not 'on' in a social setting, they can radiate an almost reptillian coldness. They get stony, fixed empty shark eyes, and can be very arrogant, even to people they hardly know.
    You can sense after a while (I did) how they view other people like chess pieces, even to the point of somehow manipulating who another person stands next to in a large group, just for the psychpath to see how one reacts to the other. With contempt? Fear? Attraction? Then that data is filed away for some future use to manipulate.
    They can seem like two or more people sharing the same body, as if they can switch on different personas, chameleon-like, according to what they feel is necessary in different situations. Their voice can even change, their posture, etc..
    They can have tremendous sex appeal because they have no inhibitions and are so fearless, nothing intimidates them. They often act like the 'king of the realm' because of the secret power they feel having everyone duped by them so easily. It makes them contemptuous of others. They rarely show their hand, and rein in their sense of power, often pretending to be accomodating, reasonable and open to the persuasion of others in little ways that don't really matter to them, just to throw people off their scent.
    They live.

I've had them lecture me about needing someone to take care of me in my old age - when I tell them I haven't dated for over 20 years and never will again and have no interest in relationships.

      You are here only because you feel a little bit alive. That's your natural instinct.
      From my own experience, I think you may time to time think that the person isn't a psychopath, you may think that maybe you judged him/ her wrongfully. I'm a male, so your experience may have been different.
      This feeling of love, it makes you think that the person you love is better than you, that's why you love them. Psychopaths know how to make you comfortable when you are submissive. Then they enjoy abusing you, almost convincing you that the more abuse you can take, the more you love them. Then they get more and more abhorrent, especially sexually, and the victim develops Stockholm syndrome.
      After that, the guilt of losing that person is unbearable, I believe you are in this stage. Be very very careful here. You didn't fail.

      @@qwertyyxoxo Equality has very little to do with love. And love is still very important. And always will be. Good luck!

    Kyle, you have beautiful eyes, such nice lashes and definition. Very photogenic!
    Loved this discussion, thank you Dr. Myers and Kyle! One thing I can say from my experience is...
    If you are coming from a place of early dysfunction, you will very likely not see others critically and block out your own danger instincts. You feel a need to be loved so desperately, that you block out common sense and your emotional instincts. That is why you do not perceive Narcissists, Psychopaths and other personality disorders in people readily.
    There are two things I am doing:
    1. Working actively on myself (self esteem) and researching these topics. I also do homework which is to identify others I meet to slot them as Normal, Problematic.
    2. Decided to trust others but go slowly in relationships. What is the worst that can happen if you find out that the Other is a Narc or Psycho? Leave. You get a broken heart, but not much else. I have dealt with that before, so big deal. I'm not a china doll. I would rather have the experience good or bad, than lock myself away from humanity and be deprived of all experiences, loving, sexual, trauma, etc. Regarding physical violence, I can be a formidable combatant, so not afraid about violence. I can threaten them back physically, and have no problem being equally confrontational, or following up with law enforcement if necessary. My point is... stop feeling fear. Just live. Deal with what comes your way and don't be a door mat.
    I dated many Narcs. Despite the dead end in the long run, I learned from them. They were interesting men, and I also got something good out of that relationship. Two were triathletes - I did a triathlon. One was a scuba diver, so I did 30 scuba dives to date and learned a new skill. One was an artist and karate partner. Another one was a surfer and yoga practitioner so we spent time at the beach doing yoga. In the end, my life was not empty, it was full. I feel sorry for these folks really. I have a nurturing and healing side - I rescue animals and probably rescue people as well. I hope I left them with some love that they needed in their lives.
    If I never find love, that is okay. I have loved and been loved by many animals, some wild ones too. That inter-species communication is a gift I have. Not much good with people but animals are my world. I will die happy even if all alone. We don't always get what we want.

    - Callous disregard in relationships
    - Don't show remorse
    - They are impulsive, hostile
    -They can be aggressive but not necessarily murderous
    - They don't care about exploiting others cause all they really care about is their own needs
    - There's no equality or intimacy with 'em. ( They couldn't care less, it's a game to 'em,they can be ruthless and they will win)
    ( Audience note- one indicator-) No matter the specifics/mechanics in the interaction, something about the interaction left you feeling a little unsettled or a bit distrusting.
    - They tend to be more promiscuous/tend to have more and shorter relationships.
    - Research shows they tend to have sex for: boredom,power,money,a housing situation etc...
    - And many more

    Three things: 1 - I thought I was going to be bored by this interview (because I know all about psychopaths unfortunately) - but I was not. 2 - This doctor is speaking truth - what spot-on answers - no fluff. 3 - the interviewers questions were also spot-on - very specific, and most we normal people would want answers to. Worth the watch!

      Thank you for providing clinical evidence supporting my gut. I recently witnessed all of the behavior discussed during a traumatic encounter with a male. It ended there.

    Absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much, both of you! Great clarity. Love, the strong desire for closeness with another human being, is the reason it's possible to fall victim to a psychopath. However painful a relationship with a psychopath may be, love will always be worth believing in. When we love, the light of God shines upon us.

    My ex was a psychopath with narcissistic traits.. After I left him I felt beaten down, worthless & empty. He was trying to kill me from the inside..

    That's why it is good to have goals in a relationship and the importance of personal development. If you have these you will feel dissatisfied after a short time with an inappropriate partner and get out of the relationship in time.
