Some thoughts about manipulative people

Some doctors call them sociopaths, other refer to them as psychopaths Either way, the terms are used to describe individuals who have a range of personality disorders. These people are not certifiably mentally ill; they are biological carriers of socially and personally problematic traits. Such traits may have been manifested from childhood on in acts of cruelty to animals, property or people. These characteristics can disrupt relationships, create financial and emotional crises, and, at their worst, lead the person to callously undertake acts of vandalism, theft, rape or murder. Being aware what constitutes a sociopath can help one resist their charm and the errors inherent in establishing a life with them.

The Superficiality of Image

On the surface, sociopaths may, at first and even for a long time, appear to function smoothly. Their manners are impeccable; they are well groomed; they fulfill the codes of romance and courtship to a tee. They are likely to be eloquent talkers who lace their speech with impressive sounding facts and figures. They may be fun, laugh a lot, sweep their partner off their feet with their sweetness. They may also seem ambitious, driven, and fond of grand, impetuous schemes for their success. Unfortunately, this behavior is an act for the sociopath. It is simply a means to getting what they want without thought to future consequences or anyone's feelings.

The Absence of Feelings

The key trait of sociopaths is that they don't feel. They may seem to laugh or cry but they present with no depth of emotion. While easily provoked to frustration or rage, their display of feeling is little more than a momentary, isolated temper tantrum. To the sociopath, other people are tools to get them what they want: money, sex, a job or other possessions. They live in their own amoral world where nothing they do has any consequences and where they owe no one anything. They have no empathy. Thus, they elude all responsibility for their actions, and can easily turn the tables, blaming their partner without guilt or shame.

From astrological point of view, sociopaths have a profound Pluto in their horoscopes, moon have a lot of aspects (these people are so NEEDY) poorly aspected Venus and Uranus and Saturn in challenging aspects with the personal planets. Do not forget - social environment. You will never become a sociopaths’ victim, if you do not allow him/her to victimize you. They can be very angry with you, but, since they have been rejected they will try another victim of those. But what you can do, if these people are your close ones? The answer is very simple - try to separate yourself emotionally from them. You can love them, but try not to be involve in their lives. They are so manipulative and all their emotions and grieving are just a part of their game. Do not forget - they do not have any emotions.

In the movie psycho, Norman Bates killed his over-bearing mother.
The terms for such a murder is called matricide.
While Statistics suggest it is a rare occurrence, there are famous cases, such as the Lizzie Borden case. Another occurrence known as infanticide is when someone kills their baby.
So that begs the question, why would someone commit such heinous crimes?
I believe only someone fitting the profile of a sociopath could be so cold-blooded.

Classic signs of a sociopath are:

They have a lack of empathy for others

They are incapable of love or natural human compassion

They make a common practice of manipulative behavior

Often they are merciless and cold

They are always trying to justify behavior they know is wrong

Well known sociopaths include Adolf Hitler, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Richard Ramirez, and the “Son of Sam” David Berkowitz. What drives sociopaths is often a need for power, They are more often then not, very vicious, brutal and dominating in their daily associations they may think themselves smarter than average or superior.

Not all sociopaths are obvious at first, Ted Bundy demonstrated this fact. He practiced law by day, while breaking it by night.
Upon his arrest, the community he lived in was shocked.

If someone is displaying the above signs or abusing you, don’t just bear it.
Run for safety before it escalates.
Do not let your abuser intimidate you, they crave power.
If you stand up for yourself, then your abuser can’t gain the upper hand.
Get help whatever it takes.
