Your Tango - 9 Signs You Have A Very Low-Quality Person In Your Life
True or False: Psychopathy is a concealed psychological disturbance.
30 out of 40 indicative that an adult has psychopathy on the PCL scale.
Common mindset: People are instruments to be played.
True or False: There are two types of aggression, reactive and proactive. The latter is linked to Factor 2 psychopathy, such as stalking, believing goals must be achieved with aggression, direct or indirect, through others. Manipulation, delusion, lack of empathy, guilt and remorse are present. Limited pro-social emotions. Blame-shifting onto a victim who won’t conform, due to a smaller Amygdala (limbic system).
True or False: 3% of the world’s population has psychopathy.
True or False: The act of smear exposes a personality disorder as well as a hidden agenda.
True or False: Using others not to get hands dirty, influence other people’s empathy, self-esteem, and perception with disinformation… is a chargeable offence.

‘Acting without a conscience to keep the mask of sanity and public presentation free of accountability. Some fear exposure and shame; some don’t feel anything. Both may react to feedback as it is irrelevant to the internal equation. A lack of guilt with a history of choices has a system around it.’
PsychCentral - How to Recognize Traits of Psychopathy: 5 Ways
True or False: Conduct Disorder, If not reviewed and re-educated by age 18, ASPD can develop as stage two in a life long perception without considerations such as empathy.
True or False: Narcissistic people are deeply insecure and require covert control to feel better about something not processed. The child's mind is still present, and there is no empathy behind the mask. Words and actions do not match over time.

“Image is everything, no boundaries, control issues, secret keeping, hide fraud and abuse.”
A subject that pops up frequently can be better understood by reading these two essays. It can relate to a number of situations and why some lack something key to making better choices in life and relationships. A lack of empathy is usually masked or observed incorrectly with a truth bias and an assumption due to certain types of charm masking in certain situations. Gaining an educated awareness and learning the signs can be eye opening.

Deception - The giveaway… every action, every statement, timing, body language... compare it to what could be happening. The body can give off + 70%.
True or false - Those who don’t understand accountability, don’t process other people's accountability correctly. What is not felt and processed, cannot be seen externally.

What is a trauma bond?
Taster insight for Consideration –
Move from Empath to Educated Empath. Ask questions first before helping, not the other way around and rely on the three-chances rule. A lack of empathy is a lack of empathy no matter how much energy is spare.
Move from Echoiest to educated on purpose, boundaries and conditioning.
Move from Enmeshment to the awareness of dysfunctional systems made by undiagnosed people.
Move from bias to balance, accountability, and self-aware.
Move from co-dependent to balanced.
Move from, and can only be done by a skilled therapist, remove unhealthy levels of narcissism.
Note: Those with NPD, beyond traits, don’t know they have NPD.
True or False: Deep traits and undiagnosed personality disorders avoid guilt and shame for a reason. Avoiding accountability and zero empathy for others is a red flag.
True or False: Psychopathy is an inherited mental disorder, an illness that is the result of a deformity in the brain. Those who are born with psychopathy can be harmful to others in certain situations or even dangerous.
True or False: Driven by an agenda with some or with zero empathy for others can be linked to a born temperament or childhood development chapter, or both.
Compensating behaviour is by design. Coverup is by design; masking is by design; avoiding guilt and shame is by design. Defence mechanisms instead of coping mechanisms are by design. Low emotional intelligence is in the agenda.
Knowing the cycle, pattern, and childhood, along with genetics going back generations, are key to a full insight into the who, what, why, when and how. Face value can be a tool along with charm. Fantasy issues are linked to what?
To spot if someone has no empathy for others... look at everything as well as the wants and needs at that moment where the gut is speaking. People process one way with a bias, or they process with a consideration.

Quotes:
Big Think - Psychopaths don’t move their heads when talking
"Violations of personal space (e.g. standing too close), inappropriate approach behaviour, and intense orienting may reflect impairments in amygdala function in psychopathy as these are also characteristic of patients with amygdala damage.”
Medium - How to Spot a Psychopath? Watch Their Eyes
Reduced blinking.
Focus that feels threatening or predatory. If you speak to one, you might feel a manipulative air.
Heightened intensity.
Wide-eyed. More of the whites showing.
Eye contact/fixation held for longer.
A coldness. Devoid of warmth, empathy or compassion.
Bully to victim.

GEE - 8 types of people who never deserve a second chance, according to psychology
Reasearch: Studying human behaviour can create deeper insight into story drama, what goes on and what is a good option. Humans require good soil, water and sunlight with education and deep connection. It is not always the case, and the side-effects can have a dramatic effect on navigation, survival tools, empathy, agenda, lack of vulnerability, self-centredness, perception, connection, sharing, moral code and internal processing or blameshifting without self-awareness and avoidance of accountability.
Hundreds of videos, websites, research, and reviews… plus a fair amount of books, interviews, experiences, what social media saying, what a book might express… the sign-off is there are similarities, patterns, and similar conclusions… It is safe to say the last 40,000 years, humans have been paying attention and, in some cases, not.
The stats on self-awareness are quite surprising and easily reversed… the optimist saying it can be, I would like to think so.
90% think they are self-aware when in fact it is 10 to 15%
80% are lying to themselves for what ever reason.
6% of the population want to damage the other 94% for a number of reasons, one being an unhealthy feedback loop where the ego drives the damaged belief system, which affects the perception which drives the belief system without any new information getting inside to allow growth and consideration for cause and effect.
The professional victim card is used by the most deceptive as they see nothing wrong with blaming their victim after creating a victim with a delusion view of themselves. Cases in the press only confirm the detachment. Something went wrong, and it stayed hidden with charm for too long.
Learning through story drama is not just for the audience and reader; it’s for the writer who has a duty to look a little closer, join the dots, and then create with insight.
Side Note: How does one inform a lair about a lair? Someone has to see an opportunity to go beyond a flawed perception and feel the effects of a transformation and better mental and physical health benefits.
