I'm pretty damn sure my sister-in-law is one.
I'm reading "The Sociopath Next Door" and most of the characteristics to look out for are hers, as in EVERY characteristic below.
• Superficial
• Manipulative and Conning
• Grandiose Sense of Self
• Pathological Lying
• Lack of Remorse or Guilt
• Shallow
• Callousness/Lack of Empathy
• Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
• Contemptuous of those who seek to understand them
• Does not perceive that anything is wrong with them
• Authoritarian
• Secretive
• Paranoid
• Seeks out situations where their behavior will be tolerated, condoned, or admired
• Conventional appearance
• Has an emotional need to justify their behavior and therefore needs affirmation (respect, gratitude and love)
• Incapable of real human attachment to others
• Extreme narcissism
....The book says to avoid these people, therefore I may be leaving my man of 14 yrs over it. He refuses to see the truth. I refuse to be blind.
