| HE DID WHAT? Try not to be influenced by "props." It is not easy to get beyond the winning smile, the captivating body language, the fast talk of the typical psychopath, all of which blind us to his or her real intentions. Many people find it difficult to deal with the intense, predatory stare" of the psychopath. The fixated stare, is more a prelude to self-gratification and the exercise of power rather than simple interest or empathic caring.

Pictures of himself, especially those of him running with the bulls in Spain. Wanted to be admired as a good family man - but had no family. Expensive watches, Louis Vitton or Prada purses, expensive sunglasses House was mortgaged to the hilt. As a self-proclaimed God-lovin, Bible-thumpin' Christian, he obviously wants to give off the impression that he's humble & not a man of the world. His living conditions are far below what he could afford, & his vehicles have never been that impressive. But he had no problem boasting tome about how soon he will be making $2000+ a day, or mentioning in a blog how much he spent on the latest & greatest gadget. He managed to find himself a lovely lady who listed her occupation as fettish model that he was particularly proud of. And of course the last girlfriend was a self-proclaimed actress (whose latest gig was a part as a corpse), & his self-satisfaction of parading around with her on his arm was obvious. He lives in a rundown apartment that stinks and is dirty and messy. He can't get a loan to buy property because his addict brother stole his credit and ruined it, but brother is still perfect and never has n confronted him because he is family. He can get ns from a tomato plant growing good and when the neighbor lady asks him why he thinks he is a master gardener. He never grew a plant in his life until he met me and took over my garden. Jesus Christ is my XNBF's major prop. Jesus is his get-out-of-jail-free card. Jesus is his disguise, used to misrepresent himself to people who will give to him. Corvette, Harley Davidson, other vehicles No Job (He looks like big shot with all these toys and no job) Use depression or suicide attempts to lure people in. Always surrounded with people (he has so many friends he must be wonderful-he would actually say that. Leaving things for me to find. Sets up staged moments - like giving something to another woman within my sight -- only it is something he once gave me. He uses personal information he knows a lot of my personal and family vulnerabilties. Of course -- he had invited me to confide them XNH would often 'stage' a conflict/rage, so he would be able to run out of the house and do whatever he wanted during that time. |
