Any Book written about Sociopaths by such an Expert as Dr. Martha Stout is worth reading. Sociopaths are very Complex Fascinating often Terrifying People who are worth Studying and Worth Reading about because so many People in Society are on the Bully to Sociopath spectrum. Narcissists, Sociopaths, Psychopaths, are Extreme Bullies and the Bullying Controlling Dominating Subjugating Slandering Insulting Ridiculing and Humiliating the Victim (Destroying the Self-Esteem of the Victim) is a source of Power and Self-Esteem for the Narcissist, Sociopath, Psychopath. The more a Narcissist, Sociopath, Psychopath can in front of bystanders be allowed to Bully Control Dominate Subjugate Slander Insult Ridicule and Humiliate the Victim (of whom the Narcissist/ Sociopath/ Psychopath was often initially Jealous) the higher the Psychopath/ Sociopath/ Narcissist's Self-Esteem Rises. Narcissists, Sociopaths, Psychopaths are often identified by their manipulative ploys to get PITY, and if we do not give them the Pity they crave, they punish us. PITY from Good People gives the Narcissist, Sociopath, and Psychopath CARTE BLANCHE to do whatever they want. A common ploy/trick of the Sociopath and Psychopath is to first evilly gleefully secretly/covertly STALK and MISTREAT their Victim over a long period of time, then when the Victim eventually reacts in justified Indignation and Anger, the Sociopath or Psychopath appeal to the Bystanders in order to get PITY from the Bystanders, claiming to the Bystanders that they the Sociopath or Psychopath did NOTHING to the Victim and that the Victim is just being MEAN to him or her the Sociopath or Psychopath, and therefore the Bystanders should feel PITY for the Sociopath or Psychopath and concurrently HATE the actual Victim for being mean; this is the beginning of a type of Smear Campaign against the Victim. Sociopaths and Psychopaths are often most clearly identified by their Stalking Behaviors; Stalking is one of their earliest behaviors, they Stalk their Victim secretly/covertly at first, then often more overtly. Also Stalking is the prerequisite to the committing of various types of crimes by the Sociopath or Psychopath. Another sign of a Narcissist, Sociopath, Psychopath is that they LOVE TO TERRORIZE their Victim—Psychological Terror (and Mind Games), and if that doesn’t work they resort to Physical Terror, and often with the Violent types Physical Terror and Physical Harm is their End Goal from the very beginning. Very Smart Sociopaths and Psychopaths are often extremely good to excellent at playing the game of Chess and they often like Strategic Board Games. Narcissists, Sociopaths, Psychopaths are constant Troublemakers; it’s like they are playing a real-life CHESS GAME against their Victim with their Victim being like the King of the opposing side. The Victim’s Supporters/Support Network (Family, Friends, Friendly Acquaintances, Helpful Individuals etc.) are like the other pieces on the opposing side; the Narcissist, Sociopath, Psychopath tries to first win them over and if he can’t win them over he tries to get rid of them, then the Narcissist Sociopath Psychopath is free to go after the Victim even more (who is like the King on the Chessboard) and constantly put him in Check before finally winning the Evil Game. The best way to deal with a Narcissist, Sociopath, Psychopath is to go NO CONTACT—if you can get away.
