A sadistic sense of pleasure in provoking pain all while feigning innocence.
Narcissistic individualstend to provoke others to gain a sense of power and control.
For example, if you share a trauma you experienced with a psychopath (e.g.
Olga Volkovitskaia
shortly after this disclosure, the psychopath starts calling you names and swearing).
Studies indicate this is because they want to maintain access to those partners for sex and resources.
The better you treat them, the worse they tend to treat you.
The strength of a psychopaths superficial, glib charm cannot be underestimated.
The most cunning psychopaths know how to balance combining innocence with charm to con you.
They know that if they seemtoowell-versed and practiced, they may not convince you that they are authentic.
To prevent this, they may make preemptive claims like, I hate liars, or I hate players.
They want to win the game, not build authentic relationships.
That is why they are willing to devalue people so easily and without remorse.
If you are dealing with a psychopath, its important not to show any mercy.
They will exploit any more kindness and compassion you give them for their own gain while harming you more.
Instead, seek professional support for your healing and detach from this person to keep yourself safe.
