Re: Psychopaths, the ultimate 4D STS feeders.
I agree with you truth seeker about the dynamics of pets and their owners. So you are saying that animals are not manipulating their owners because they are not consciously choosing to manipulate their owners, only that they have been trained to act in a manipulative manner to get what they want and that they have no other choice?
truth seeker said:I think that many pets exhibit those behaviors not to anger or induce guilt, but because they have learned that those behaviors get them what they seek (love/attention). When they learn differently, they do differently (speaking more of dogs here than cats). I find also that many times, people's pets are just reflecting back behaviors that their owners have within themselves. A narcissistic dynamic of it's own.
For example, a member of my family is anxious and needy. The behavior of her pets reflect this dynamic. She encourages it probably because it's been handed down to her and the only way she knows to 'get' her pets to make her feel loved. So perhaps it's really 3D that's manipulating 2D?
