I relate my experience with a psychopath. This experience I had between 17 and 18, and I must say that last time I realized it helped me a lot and created my strength. Story this story because you may be able to guide people around him are people like this. I must say that when I lived this experience I had no idea what was really a psychopath, was a typical belief that he was a ruthless mass murderer, and so on. And, in advance, excuse my English.
I met this boy will call John, is not his real name, at the home of a friend who went to visit. John, from the start, was very cordial, friendly, inviting all to what was and was very helpful. We made good friends and we met frequently. Soon I noticed some details, which in turn also alarmed me. On the one hand, always bragged about everything he did, but not only in the aspect that can be considered positive, but by their actions that harmed others, stealing, fighting, cheating, etc.. In these stories he told, the lies were everywhere, and always lie to achieve their goals, treating people as mere objects, no matter how much he could injure or harm their victims, these thoughts came after interaction with John, Of course, if I had realized before all this ... -. John felt no remorse of any kind ever about their actions, even laughed when he explained. To me at that time, innocently, dazzled me with his words and superficial charm. At the end of the day I'm a neighborhood kid, and certain unpleasant things I had did not seem so outrageous as I might seem now, they were things she heard more than once for others. He did not work and had no future plans of any kind. Just took advantage of his parents, who were wealthy and had everything I wanted. Although he had something "different" in his way of explaining and doing.
Over time we became great friends. He always came to my house and we all sites together. Some people saw this, I warned that going with John could be harmful to me and to be careful. Like most victims of a psychopath, I ignored what I said.
More time passed. He controlled my life, and was older than me and I was afraid I would hurt if you do not listen to her. I know it seems a marriage relationship, but it was not. It was just a friendship than a year. I imagine that many wives have suffered several years of sharing your life with this kind of people. As I said, controlling my actions, and if he did what he wanted, he threatened me. I was humiliated in public and in private, always passing over me. It worked and was always looking to cheat who was to get money and spend it that day. It was like a parasite that only took advantage of people. And sometimes I let it drag on. Psychologically and emotionally I was devastated and did not know how to escape that situation. For the record, by the way, I'm omitting many details of this story because I do not necessary unless you ask me.
After years when I came into contact with the material Cassiopaea, read the articles on psychopathy and also read the work of Robert Hare, in particular "Without Conscience." To my surprise, analyzing the situation lived with John, I could see every detail, every "symptom" fit the personality and deeds of John. It all fit now.
I know what is psychopathy in person. I personally believe that is the manifestation of non-being of mankind. If there is evil here on Earth, this is psychopathy. To me in just one year destroyed me in every way, I suppose, but due to my youth and strength could recover from the ravages of this interaction. And I think it has been an important experience in my life and helped me to see one of the awful name of God, ie to learn a lesson. This experience, along with others that were also very hard, took me to a depressive process which came out very strong, and ever since I started the path to myself. And I have left.
