Psychopaths possess a uniquely malignant form of narcissism that makes them capable of callous, senseless, remorseless, use and abuse of others.

It’s important not only to see the problems of sociopathy and psychopathy in their proper context, but also to recognize the larger and more worrisome picture.

When you strive too hard to “understand” a person’s behavior, you can often inadvertently excuse it.

Individuals with aggressive personality styles are usually already in the aggressive mode long before they ever become angry.

One of the most effective ways for impaired characters to victimize others is to conceal their malevolent intentions while simultaneously prompting their “target” to accede to their desires. Manipulators win by using clever tactics like “gaslighting” to get the other person to back down or give in.
