"Never tell a psychopath they are a psychopath because it upsets them."
I'm sure you have come across this phrase before if you are studying psychopathy.
And it is true. It is best to never, ever, EVER, say to them "You are a psychopath. I know what you are!"
However, there is another meaning to this phrase that I would like to touch on and address.
Never tell a psychopath they are a psychopath, I.E. Never call them out on their B.S.
Lemme explain.
So a psychopath likes trickery, conning, and mischievous deeds. It is in their blood to want power and control and if they don't have it then create situations they do have it for themselves.
For example, a psychopath may steal jewelry in a store but put it in YOUR purse and blame it on you. (Not all of them do this btw, it is an example)
Anyways, you take the fall for the stolen item, get taken into the manager's office and the cops are called...and they walk away Scott free.
Later, when you confront the psychopath, (you might have even seen this happen to you) they WILL deny it with every fiber of their being and tell you that you are crazy and insane for thinking such things.
Like "You are crazy to think I would ever do such a thing to you. I didn't put it in your purse! That's just crazy. You are mad!"
The truth is, they HAD.
They HAD done it.
And you might even have seen it done, but can't prove it.
What I'm trying to say is, even if you confront a psychopath on what THEY did they will deny, deflect, confuse.
"I didn't do it."
"You are crazy"
"I think you need a doctor."
It upsets a psychopath, not if you literally call them a psychopath.
Like, "You are a psychopath".
It upsets them MORE when you try to CONFRONT them on their misdeeds that they actually did but will never, ever, ever admit to.
Even if you confront them, they will deny and you will be left confused.
"Was I wrong? Did they actually do it? Maybe I am wrong?"
You aren't wrong, but they want you to believe them and not your own eyes.So to summarize this chapter, it is best not to confront a psychopath on their mischievous behavior and it is best to just walk away from them all together.
Just walk away.
