There are a few results that I resent from having been friends with a psychopath. One, they hijack your time. They have no appreciation of your time, and they will waste it if you let them. They're willing to waste it because they'll do almost anything for extended attention especially at great cost to you. Again, they could give a rat's ass about your time or what it means to you. Two, being involved with them means an erosion of your creative identity. You will find that you've been used as an enabler of their psychopathy. You will find yourself a hull if yourself, your life, your energy, your creative genius gutted by the time you figure out that you've been abused by these characters. And if you're loyal to your friends because it's one of your convictions, you'll be on the tether to the psychopath linger than you'd like. Don't let them mortgage your life, your time, and good will, for they won't think twice about having consumed it from you. Embarrassment or remorse is not in their make up. So don't give them your time. Three, psychopaths ultimately have no skin in the game of your success or happiness. They may help with an abstract insight, but they're not going to involve themselves in your strategies. They're cold, calculating, and emotionally detached. Even if they spot that someone has committed a crime like fraud or theft, there's no conviction behind their observation. And four, they are the ultimate predators, for they will pret upin your good nature, have contempt for your kindness and politeness, and use those features to justify destroying you thinking that you're too big of a rube to deserve any moral consideration.
1. Anyone who has qualities they envy
2. Submitting to the power of others
3. Being outsmarted or beaten
4. People who can see through them and not be manipulated
5. When their victims become indifferent to them
6. When they get found out and have to move onSimilarly in personal/intimate relationships, psychopaths will be actively irritated by someone with strong boundaries and self respect who doesn’t tolerate any of their nonsense and quickly calls them out on their attempts to prod and poke at the boundaries of people to see how much they can get away with.
They often disparage and quickly move on from such people with healthy boundaries and self respect, because they realize these people are “hard” targets that won’t put up with their provocative and reaction seeking behavior.
The psychopath actively hates people who aren’t buying what they’re selling in terms of glibness, and fake charm, but that’s their problem, not the other person’s!
That’s what you find when you have that self respect and self love, that a relationship with a disordered person won’t even work, because they’ll get so irritated that they’re not able to get under your skin and they’re not able to exploit you” --Jackson Mackenzie – see here.
5. When You Are Completely Indifferent to Them
Psychopaths love attention, but the nuance that many people miss here is that they don’t care whether this is positive or negative attention. They just care that they are getting strong attention, even if this is the form of someone hating them. They’d rather have this than the person not being bothered about them anyone.
