Maybe your romantic relationships don't last or maybe your relationships are filled with pain. It could be because your partner is a psychopath. If you are feeling the pain, you may be the victim, the co-dependent, because psychopaths don't feel pain. They don't feel anything. A psychopath is closely related to a narcissist and an addict.
It's not unusual for a psychopath to also be an addict. A psychopath and a sociopath have very similar characteristics. For the sake of this article, I'm treating them both as psychopaths. I'm also lumping narcissists in the mix. All of them are selfish and destructive to your life. Their differences are really just a matter of degree. Psychopaths are far more common than you might expect. About 1 in 25 people are psychopaths. Many rise to positions of authority and power.
A psychopath has the following characteristics:
1.) Lack of fear.
2) Cannot feel empathy for others.
3) High Stress Tolerance.
4.) Charming.
5.) Manipulative.
6.) Avoids responsibility.
7) Lacks impulse control.
8.) Does have criminal tendencies.
9.) No Remorse.
10.) Uses others and lives off others.
A psychopath will only apologize to win something they want. They will not apologize when they hurt you, because they are not capable of remorse. They only apologize to regain control. Psychopaths will not change and cannot be fixed.
Emotionally healthy men or women instinctively avoid psychopaths. Only someone who was parented by a psychopath will tolerate them. In fact, they will be drawn to them like a moth to a flame. Psychopaths seek out people who have been conditioned to accept their dysfunctional dance.
When someone is raised by a parent or parents who are psychopaths, they are essentially brainwashed to play the role of victim. They know no other way to relate to their intimate partner. They are the co-dependent in this unhealthy relationship and may be thoroughly addicted to the psychopath. This is why escape is so difficult.
If a person reared by a psychopath enters a room full of strangers, a psychopath will find them within minutes. This may not be a conscious behavior but both the psychopath and the victim seek the other.
Insist that a romantic relationship enrich your life. If it doesn't, you're better off alone. Because the truth is, love does NOT conquer all. Love cannot overcome addiction, abuse or neglect. And remember, neglect is a form of abuse.
