Psychopath

Mine is "psychopath". I used to think this was a term for serial killers and mass murderers, evil dictators. Now I know that psychopaths, people with no conscience, lacking compassion, remorse and empathy, are among us in every day settings. They may not harm anyone physically, but they are toxic to interact with in any way.

same here. i thought of

same here. i thought of psychopath as a serial killers/mass murderers who lurked in dark alleys .. in fact prior to my discovery of these, i never even in my wildest imagination thought that there are creatures who look like us but do not have a Conscience. It has taken me a while and serious retrospects to see the Truths behind Events and Words that were the creature's tools of trade. and right from the beginning him and his parents criticized the daylights out of me... i was criticized so scathingly because...looks like i had inadvertently peeled off their mask of sanity...and they kept me prisoner with their LIES and manipulation. They = NH and his narc father and sucker mother. I feel so foolish and stupid today because they managed to dupe me for over 2 decades... sheeesh... HOW could this happen??? and i see that this has been happening to many many many others across the world. is this then the Martian Invasion from that old song called War of the Worlds? i am HOPING and PRAYING that i make it out of this prison..in 1 piece.. Hey friends, I hope I am not being toooo repititive with my same old story? Please do excuse me this time. I too will try to be a more useful member at this forum... just needed to vent and vent and vent all this terrible situation i am in...and along with me, my child too is suffering.. it is such an amazing thing for me to know that my life story is no being poohpoohed like it was in my real life...people thought i was crazy and mentally disturbed when i told someone about the way my husband harassed me and relentlessly cheated me... nobody believed me.

100% agree Pride and Shame

After doing extensive reading on psychopathy and sociopathy my mind has been opened to the fact that there is a certain percentage of people that exist in this country that have the propensity to kill because they lack a conscience but just don't so they don't end up in jail. They instead get their jollies off of emotionally and often physically preying on others. Very very scary realization, I almost felt like it took my innocence away to some degree.

"love"

As in "I love you". It used to mean all good things, calmness, safety, security, kindness, respect, softness, gentleness, admiration, adoration...I can go on forever about the goodness in the word love I used to know. Now, it just means pain. Deep soul shattering pain. Lies, deceit, abuse, hatred, chaos, bewilderment, fear, horror, mistrust, control, terror.

love as in...

I don't believe in it anymore. Not sure anyone will have the opportunity to get close enough to me to hurt me ever again. Sadly. Thank you N. Jerk.

Thank you, Swan, for letting me know I'm not the only one. "Love." Shudder.
