		<description>My life is being destroyed by a psychopath stalker. Even the police are protecting her, but we don&#039;t know why. She is also stalking my friends, and they too have found the police won&#039;t help them. She has tried to kill me once, and has systematically taken my life apart and wrecked it. I have the best solicitors in the country, and they say its the worst case they have even known. Nothing stops her. She just gets worse and worse. Hers lies and manipulations are astonishing. She seems to be able to convince anyone. So remember, psychopaths can be women too ! I am leaving my country and going into hiding soon.</description>

		<description>I met a pscyhopath a year ago.  He told me everything I wanted to hear and I thought he was sincere.  He only called and was nice when he wanted or needed something.  He is a total narcissist too!!  I should have went with my first instinct when I first met him.  Always trust your gut feelings.  Thank god I have finally seen the light and hope to never meet another man/women like him.</description>

		<description>Note - a sociopath often can have a psychopath father and other relatives may also have the disease.  It would be good to have a test in mind to see if your date lies.  Also, you can be duped for 10 years before actually finding out!  A clue is - &quot;Oh, I am sooo sorry, I didn&#039;t know&quot;, or &quot;Oh, he wouldn&#039;t ever do anything like thaatt?&quot;  So soothing, but underneath, is the father hording all the money, are there other family members living in poverty or sent off to the nursing home, while one has all the money?  Will they blame a crime they did on someone else?  YES - YOU!!!  Do they try to trick you, so it looks like you did the crime?  You are in big trouble, it is hard to extricate from the situation, especially once they have all of your money.  And it will be all YOUR fault, according to them, as they try to steal your house and all your possessions as you leave in tears.  Look for the clues on the first date.  Is he a little TOO nice?</description>

		<description>Good luck to me and all those who have such a person as their life partner. :-) Not sure what will happen in future but this information does help understand things better. Will prefer to let go and let God!</description>

		<description>I too am trying to make sense of what has happened to me. I was conned by the worst kind of psychopath! He is intelligent, witty, gorgeous, and works in my corporation. I am very successful, intelligent, and most would say I am beautiful. I have been narrowed down to  low self confidence and cannot focus on my work. I show up everyday for someone to tell me how I should really meet this man because we would make a great couple. Little do they know the damage he has already done. I also get to show up at work and listen to him charm, manipulate, and con others. I am awaiting the day he pulls the rug out from under me and begins to shatter my name. The gross part is....I am addicted and am trying to move on and recover. I am going to buy the books. I wish someone would come up with an article on how to recover or tactics on how to deal with someone like this.</description>

		<description>That is a very interesting and detailed post about APD. I have often thought of sociopathy as a kind social parasitism-with sufferers of APD aping the social behavior of more empathetic people. You can read more about APD &lt;a href=&quot;http://moodle1.wordpress.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>&quot;Bowie more or less fell into his already fragile mind in the belief that I had betrayed him.&quot;

Wow, okay....
1. You did betray me by STEALING my car. This isn&#039;t the only thing you&#039;ve done, but I&#039;m not here to rant; I&#039;m here to point out your bullshit.

&quot;Bowie a once good friend of mine...&quot;
2. I was never your friend Alex. I thought I was your friend, and that was my mistake. You can&#039;t honestly say that I was a good friend when the &quot;friendship&quot; was one sided. You used me, and that&#039;s that. Friends also do not patronize or belittle one another.

&quot;Bowie more or less fell into his already fragile mind in the belief that I had betrayed him.&quot;
3. Wow... A fragile mind, eh? Well, let&#039;s see what the definition of fragile is, since I&#039;m obviously stupid. 

*Webster&#039;s Dictionary: frag·ile - easily broken, shattered, or damaged; delicate; brittle; frail; weak.

Okay Alex, or Joel, or whatever &quot;persona&quot; you&#039;ve decided to take on at this moment in order to make excuses/feel good about yourself, let&#039;s get one thing straight. I do not have a weak mind. I have managed to overcome my mental illness without medication and remain stable. I have also overcome my addiction to several illegal drugs, and quit them cold turkey after being addicted for 6 and a half years (with no one there to help me). I also do not have a sugarcoated outlook on life, filled with delusions. Can you say the same? You live in a fantasy world where you only see what you want to see; I live in a world where brutal honesty is constructive, appreciated and keeps me on my toes. I don&#039;t know why I even bother. 
YOU on the other hand are the very definition of someone that has a fragile mind. You are incredibly unstable, you can&#039;t hold a job, you can&#039;t maintain ANY longterm relationships, you can&#039;t take criticism, and you&#039;re self-destructive. You say that you hate religious contradictions, and yet YOU ARE what you hate. You are a fucking contraction. Your views on life are flawed, much like religion, and I will not buy into your fractured bullshit. On top of that, you have an inflated view of yourself and you try to make it seem like you&#039;re complex. Well, you&#039;re not so complex Alex. You&#039;re so transparent that it&#039;s funny. It&#039;s simple. You&#039;re selfish and you&#039;re a liar. You are weak, not me.

&quot;...belief that I had betrayed him.&quot;
3 1/2. Okay Alex. Let&#039;s get the facts straight. You DID BETRAY me. Not just with the car, but on several other occasions. Who do you think you&#039;re fooling? You&#039;re obviously not too bright; to not see the facts when they&#039;re staring you in the fucking face. You&#039;re not innocent, so stop making excuses and stop pretending to be something that you&#039;re not.

Now, that&#039;s enough about me. What about your brother? Do you even realize the fucking hell that you have put him through? I can&#039;t even describe how you make him feel. It&#039;s fucking unbelievable how much he cares about you. Even after all of the shit you&#039;ve done to him. Being a brother, he decided to give you chance after chance, for a while. He gave you the shirt off of his back, just at the very thought that your improvement COULD BE POSSIBLE. Shit man, in all honesty Alex, I am fucking pissed by the way you&#039;ve treated your brother. Seriously, it&#039;s fucked up. Sam has tried to do everything in his power to help you. I can&#039;t blame him for feeling the way that he does now, however. Abusing your brother is not cool; and, concerning what you&#039;ve done to Sam, I say go fuck yourself.

Alex, you fucked up. Be a fucking man and stop making excuses; stop being a coward and for the love of fucking god, learn from your mistakes.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m glad to read this again, in another place.  I am still recovering from a brutal break-up (only brutal in that it was a complete blindsidingly cruel surprise) from what turned out to be a sociopath/psychopath.  Within days I was trying to find information to make sense out of what was completely senseless!  The Sociopath Next Door got me started on the road to realization.
AND although having been through this I do hope that I am more aware and more attuned to NOT let that wool be pulled over my eyes again, as Drs Hare &amp; Wilson point out in their own ways:  the psychopath is a PERFECT mirror of exactly what we are the most hungry for!!  

Thanks for this!
