[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 430545"] Just hit a real goooood part in the book! I will paraphrase 13 Rules for Dealing with Sociopaths (in everyday life) 1. Accept that some people literally have no conscience and that not all these people look like Charles Manson. They look like "us." 2. Just because a person has a highly valued role in society (for example a teacher, priest, etc.) ignore this. Instead TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. 3. When entering a new relationship, practice the rule of 3's....three lies means you are OUT! Cut your losses..get out/move forward. 4. Question authority. Don't automatically trust. Trust YOUR instinct. 5. Suspect flattery. A sincere compliment here and there is fine. Flattery is extreme and is designed to appeal to the ego. It is designed to manipulate. 6. Redefine your concept of respect. Fear is not respect. 7. Do not join the game.Don't compete with a sociopath or even engage him. Instead move away and protect yourself. 8. The best way to protect yourself is to AVOID him and refuse contact of any kind, including communication. 9. Question your tendency to pity tooooo easily. You become a sociopath's target if you are like this. And don't feel a need to be polite. 10. Do not try to redeem the unredeemable. You can NOT control this person. Swallow hard and run like hxck. This is not your mission. Your mission is your own life. 11. Never agree out of pity for any reason to help a socipath conceal his or her true character. 12. Defend your psyche. Don't let them convince you that "humanity is a failure." 13. Living well is the best revenge. Move forward and enjoy life. [/QUOTE]
