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.

What do you do when the covert-aggressor in your life is your co-worker, or even worse, your boss? Dealing with manipulative, back-stabbing behavior in the workplace can be quite a challenge.

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.

Just because someone does or says something that manipulates you, doesn’t necessarily mean they did it to manipulate you.
