[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 430500, member: 11235"] I believe Kat is a narcissist. But I used to work in the prison system and dealt with sociopaths on a daily basis. Most of them were narcissistic sociopaths- some great guys as you can imagine. I learned quickly to not take anything personal with a sociopath. They deal with everyone the same way and everyone is means to an end for them- a way to get what they want. They literally cannot understand the complex emotions we experience, much less that they cause us to feel that way. Basically you are dealing with a reptile in human skin, so keep it all business because as soon as you show emotion they have won. You will never know the "real" person because they have learned to become whoever you need them to be. They are masters at changing their personalities and behaviors to survive and even thrive. Most of them know something is "off" in them and figured out pretty quickly how to adapt in dealing with "normal" people. Most are also very intelligent and charming. I have seen these guys use their own kids for everything from a way to transport drugs to a tool to manipulate the ex who is desperately trying to get free of them. They don't even love their own kids- they just don't have the capacity. There is a chip missing in them that cannot be corrected. You will drive yourself crazy trying to get them to understand how you feel, let alone that their actions made you feel that way. They literally cannot understand it. [/QUOTE]
