Victims of Psychopaths Community Group
Is he or she a sociopath or psychopath? Think we're only talking about serial killers here? Psychopaths, sociopaths and even narcissists come in every walk of life, every career level, and every socio-economic category.
I have read stories were sociopaths pretend to care for the elderly only to take their savings! sociopaths who sexually exploit the retarded because they know they wont know how to speak up. They have no limits because people are not human to them, we are objects!
I know because it happened to me. You might think, well l you are not disabled - yes I was, I was stuck in trauma. It was so bad, that I had no connection to the outside world (like news, politics etc) until March 2013!....
I met two. The first was a distempered psycho. Interestingly he chose to work with elderly people, I said odd things about them too (alzhiemers) - he would get off, pretending to be their 'young man' would tell them that he was taking them out to dinner, they would get excited, and he would take them to the toilet (by then they had forgotten what they were doing and why).... this fulfilled his own narcissistic supply (not really abuse) but how he treated me....absolutely he got off on having power and control over someone who was vulnerable.
I was still vulnerable when I met the second socicopath - i had came a long way but still had some way to go. He sold me my dreams - lied, manipulated, used what he knew about me to deceive. Stole from my bank and personal items
The distempered one thrived on humiliating me. The charismatic one only stooped to that level when he had a narcissistic melt down.
One thing, neither of them showed any guilt, empathy remorse or shame for their actions. I did grow stronger, and began to fight back - last summer, I had a support worker allocated to me, as I still felt vulnerable and was scared to trust anyone after what had happened.
If it has happened to me, it will happen to others - sadly some people who are permanently vulnerable. I found leaving almost impossible.... Being vulnerable is to the psychopaths advantage.
It was scary - there were times when I was genuinely really frightened, especially with the first one :(
Why do they do it? Because its easy..... and the results are pretty much guaranteed - with low risk of being caught!! :(
The only difference is TIME..... with a normal person the sociopath will attack you until you ARE vulnerable!!!.... whilst the vulnerable person can be worked on from day 1.
Met the first real hard core sociopath when I was just getting out of a 7 year relationship (my first and only relationship to that point) and was really depressed and vulnerable.
When I realized he was a sociopath and he began stalking me and I found out he was a registered sex offender and he began stalking me, I went to the federal police which is how I met psycho #2. I was extremely vulnerable and scared then, the stalker was going to kill me. And the federal officer/psychopath completely took advantage of that situation.
They definitely take advantage of vulnerable people. Look how many old people are conned by them for money scams.
All we can do is be ASSERTIVE, not to be GRATEFUL just because they try to get round us, buying flowers and chocs, remember they are trying to buy YOU! Don't allow yourself to be lied to. Remember, if anyone lies to us, they must think we are a fool! They CANNOT change, we CAN and MUST!
