One clue: Sociopaths lie and lie even when they don’t have to.

So I guess it’s not just me who yawns when someone else does. I have always wondered about that. So.......I am a psychopath or I’m NOT a psychopath?

“Another good, related book is “The Sociopath Next Door.” It chilled me to the bone. A fair number of bosses are sociopaths”

I just found a free copy on the internet...going to read it this weekend. Unfortunately, I have a female boss who I went through hell with this year. Unfortunately, she’s attractive.

Study David Brock if you want to understand psychopaths. He’s a psychopath and a sociopath who believes in nothing and has devoted his life to manipulating and harming people to get ahead.

Hillary spotted his talent and turned him into an ally while he was writing a book on her. After that he followed a script orchestrated with Hillary who helped him move head in income and influence. He pretended he had been a right wing hit man and saw the error of his ways — when he never really believed in anything.

Ironically, he deeply regrets the cartoon character and reprobate he has become.

The one constant factor in his life is that he is an accomplished liar — something Hillary loved about him. He uses his dishonesty to destroy people, sometimes after gaining their confidence first.

Brock was adopted as a baby by a conservative Christian Texas family and a father old enough to be his grandfather. He has a deep sense of worthlessness (since his mother abandoned him). That is the underlying pain that drives his pscyhosis and makes him want to inflict pain on others. Most of all he hates people who are good, honest and decent. He wants to destroy them to make himself feel better because he despises himself.

Brock is capable of figuring all this out and turn his life around but won’t do it because he enjoys being a Machiavellian monster. For that reason, I hope he burns in hell for eternity in perpetual, excruciating pain for all the evil he has visited upon this world.

Psychopaths go back centuries... the classic personification of pure human evil is Shakespeare’s Iago.

Such pure psychological types are rare. Most people fall somewhere in between sainthood and depravity.

Few people are saints just as few people are wicked. Its very difficult to live up to the extreme.

And human beings and human nature abhors extremes.

An easy way to check is to *YAWN* in the presence of someone you think is a nut job. If they don’t respond to the *YAWN* with a *YAWN* of their own...RUN!

I can confirm this.

So can I.

Not really.

Psychopaths have a full grip on reality and their cognitive functions are unimpaired.

Where they differ from the rest of us is in lacking a conscience or superego that keeps us decent and from crossing allowed social boundaries.

The scariest person is one who appears outwardly normal but can’t be trusted because for them other persons exist to satisfy them and their needs and people are not moral beings with rights and feelings that need to be understood and appreciated.

Can you tell if you’re dealing with a psychopath? Not even experts are 100% certain that our perception of others is accurate due to biases and personal dislikes.

Which may have nothing to do with the character of the person we’re acquainted with.

The only ones I listen to are The White Album and Rubber Soul (my fave!)

A quarter of the songs on "The Beatles" (White Album) are unsuited for Freeper ears. (Why Don't We..., "Revolution #9" for starters).

"Rubber Soul" is more listenable, but Mr. Lennon's misogyny shows through in the lyrics ("Run for Your Life", "Norwegian Wood"). Odd that such a man would turn masochist and present himself to Yoko Ono.

Depends on if you really yawned, or just wanted people to think you yawned because others yawned. Uh oh, maybe I'm one for thinking that?

[[Be definition, a “psychopath” is anyone with a mental illness. According to the CDC, this includes half of all Americans.]]

Which is precisely why the administration and the left are so desperate to get ‘mental health’ listed as a condition that bars people from owning guns
