Signs You're Dating a Sociopath
About 1 in
4 people have diagnosable mental disorders in the U.S. (NIH). About 1 in 5
young Americans have personality disorders. That is dangerously common. For
every 4 people you date one could have a mental disorder. With all the
craziness around with young people shooting, bombing, and killing other young
people you need to know who you’re dealing with. Ok, that’s a bit extreme to
think the people you’re dating will kill you but they can cause you severe
emotional distress. You ever dated someone and everything seemed so perfect in
the beginning but after a few months all hell broke loose? Was something just off? After the end of the relationship, did
you doubt your sanity? You might have just have had an encounter with a
sociopath. Below are signs you’re dating a sociopath.

Compulsive Liar
You
will never meet anyone who lies so much. They lie about everything. They do it in an attempt to be who they
think you want them to be. They reinvent themselves
as the perfect person in your eyes. This is the way they seduce you and get you to love them. Of course none
of it is true. They actually don’t have a personality
or substance because they’re just a shell of a person. So they lie to fit into a variety of settings. If you find out someone
lied about everything when you first met
them, run away! This means them lying about their occupation, housing arrangements, car, and money. Don’t let them
tell you they lied just to impress you.
Its just manipulation!

Moves Way too Fast
They
move in so fast they will have your head spinning. But you will go along with it because they have spun a perfect
fantasy of love. It will be good to be true.You
will think this is your soul mate. Again this is just them being who you want them to be not who they really are. After
they seduce you and see that you have fallen
for them, they completely flip the script. Sociopaths move fast but that doesn't mean that every person who moves
fast is a sociopath.
· Always Shifts the Guilt to you When They've Done
Something Wrong
Every
time you catch them doing something wrong you find yourself saying sorry in the end. It frustrates the hell out of
you because you've done nothing, they are the
one who messed up so why are you apologizing! This is because they feel they are never wrong. This way, they are
always doing every thing right and you are
always doing everything wrong. It will put them in a place above you where they can maintain control over the
relationship and you.

You Find Yourself Isolated From Your Friends &
Family *Support Circle
This is another
one that is not just consistent with sociopaths but it is consistent with abusive people. Remember
abuse can be emotional and verbal not just physical.
With a sociopath you are definitely being emotionally abused. They
will make it seem as if you are the perfect person for them when they
first meet you. Slowly they will start making negative comments about your
friends and family. Then they will start accusing you of doing the same
negative things your friends are doing. For example, if you go out with
your friends once a week and go drinking at bars he will start to have you
second guessing whether that is appropriate behavior or not. Soon you will
find yourself changing to try and meet all
of his criteria. This includes spending all free time with him or her and not having a life of your own. They are
intimidated by your social life because they don’t
have one. They are insecure of your close friends because they are not able to maintain their own close friends,
which brings me to my next point:

They Don’t Even Have 1 Close Friend
Need I
say more? You’re crazy if NO ONE wants to be around you. This is one of the biggest red flags when it comes to
dating.
No lie; I dated a guy who had met
every single one of his girlfriends off of Facebook, including me. The
reason for this is that they get to scope you out before they interact
with you. So many people have their whole lives on their social media
profiles so it would be easy to discern what you’re into. This way they can be the person you most likely will
fall for. I know, scary isn’t it?
I
know this list can seem a bit harsh. I mean are there really people out there
whose sole concern is to “get you”. The answer is hell yes! And guess what? They don’t give a
damn because they cannot feel real emotions.
