Sociopaths

[ladydesigner]

My Stbxwh has been diagnosed NPD and I highly suspect him to be sociopathic.

 

He has always and only cared about himself and what happens to him.

 

He feels he is entitled to nice things and gets very upset when he doesn't have them.

 

He feels no empathy for someone going through a hard time unless it benefits him in some way.

 

He has anti-social qualities like impulsive behavior, criminal behavior, and multiple infidelities.

 

He is passive aggressive and conflict avoidant

 

He was emotionally and physically abused by his mother

 

He is grandiose when talking about things that have not happened yet. He is a good salesman and talks the talk.

 

ah there are so many....

Like heroin, a sociopath can overload the senses. Flooding perception with an unrealistic portrayal of the narcissists fantasy. You become the set for the greatest movie of all time, but when the production is finished you find yourself feeling flat like the facade on a western frontier town.

 

I got out, thankfully. Yet like an addict I'm haunted and can't escape the oxytocin highs she produced. What's really scary is that she is a borderline sociopath and all those extreme emotions we had together were all monochromatic to her, whereby I remember everything in vivid Technicolor.

 

It's the fact that she has already forgotten that gets me. That I'm trapped in this memory alone. I yearn for the next hungry soul that wishes to feast on my love. Sometimes I wish I were her prey again.

I have reasons for believing I was/am involved with a sociopath. I was going to list those here, but instead I think I'll just post this link:

I'm addicted to someone who is really, really toxic. Helps me to read things like this. The advice is largely the same as is given here - mainly, no contact.
