"Their greatest strength is seeing other people’s weaknesses. Their greatest weakness is not seeing other people’s strengths".

I very wise woman once told me that and I have never forgotten it.

Exploiting others for their weaknesses is purely predatory in nature; they gain everything by doing this to their advantage to further promote their hidden agendas. So if their greatest strength is targeting individuals that "have a need" where does that leave us in the end in why they were blind when it came to our strengths?

Perhaps much of our CD and lack of closure is the constant need that we wanted to be recognized for what our attributes were and STILL are. As a fellow member who PM me described herself as feeling "ruined" in the aftermath of all this. My goodness if an individual can ONLY see another person's weaknesses this does not mean its was because that is all that we were, it means it was all THEY were able to see in us. We blame ourselves for THEIR disorder and what they simply are not capable of doing - mmmm might explain why projection is such a handy little tool for them use.

Individuals that are secure and whole within will always recognize others for the good that they are - you see a psychopath has to destroy and taint our perception of ourselves in order to gain the control and power over others - they WANT us to feel "ruined" and "crazy" - So now I ask, if I was so damn crazy and ruined why is it I entered the relationship feeling relatively normal and sane and when I LEFT the relationship I was damaged? I seriously doubt I did that all by myself - I think a psychopath contributed to that. do ya think?

Remember this great advise; his ONLY strength was OUR weaknesses and his greatest weakness was the INABILITY to see ANYONE's strengths -
