People who are weird and mean but everyone respects them

Post Reply New Topic

I dated a sociopath who was verbally and emotionally abusive. I landed in the hospital and suffered from post trauma and its like nobody wants to listen. I tell one of his friends and she turns around and invites him to her house. They enjoy the dramatic stories despite that he hurts people.

I'm very sorry this happened to you. This is exactly what I am talking about. Sociopaths can seem to just get away with anything if they have charisma and good social skills, it's very sad when it gets to the point that it hurts others not only mentally but physically.

A similar thing happened to me. The sociopath at my school (the same one I have been talking about) tormented and bullied me for a few weeks when he knew a dark secret I wanted no one to know.

That's messed up! Good riddence btw.

I think sometimes people don't really like such people deep down, but are afraid of being victimized by them so they be nice to them in order to stop themselves from becoming a target. I could be wrong but that's my theory anyway.

I'm not very good at this quote thing.

Your post makes me wonder if you know my mom. The difference is my mom does like to flirt even though she has been married to my dad for 48 years. She even flirts with the priests in the local Catholic church, (my parents are Catholic.) One of them committed suicide and another one refuses to have anything to do with her. (Hmmm?)

Relatives on my fathers side of the family can't stand her and only put up with her so they can see my dad. Friends do the same thing. No one wants to be on her bad side because she is scary, nasty and mean. My father is afraid to divorce her because he is afraid of loosing everything he has.

A lot of her colleagues have said to me that she is a bit weird and has acted inappropriate to them at work and can go completely unresponsive when she's in a mood and ignores everybody around her, and some have even said that there's something wrong with her (in a critical way), but yet they all seem to be socially and physically attracted to her.

I don't know if she has any real friends or not. One minute she says she has lots of friends, the next minute she says she has no friends and only socialises at work, so I don't know what to believe about her. But I have given up talking to her now, but I still feel bugged when I see her male colleagues flirting with her; touching her, kissing her and calling her names like ''babe''. She told me she never flirts. I think she thinks I was born yesterday or something.

People who everyone likes despite the fact that they're malicious: this reminds me of schoolyard bullies. I think maybe people are drawn to their power.

Sociopaths: I have a friend who I'm pretty sure is a sociopath (he openly talks about his desire to commit homicide), but we actually get along pretty well. He's one of the few people I know who's willing to listen to my long, rambling aspie monologues.

As much as the APA and DSM-V put it out there that anti social personality disorder is rare, there appear to be sociopaths everywhere. Not every sociopath is going to lie coolly and doing favors. A sociopath can appear to be very sweet and act like your friend while constantly finding little jabs to others.

They can also do damage by doing things in a sneaky manner such as trying to cause a rift between you and person who you recently had a conflict with.

I wonder if one of my sisters isn't a sociopath. She showed some very early life signs it when she was 5. In fact, she kicked another little girl in the eye in daycare and had no remorse. Another time she stole a pack of gum from Target

1. She taunted me with the gum and asked if I could have some but said that I couldn't have any because dad got it for her- I found out she stole it when she went into the living room
2. My sister also manipulated my mom for a colorform book and lost her privileges. She tried to convince me the next day that mom had changed her mind on the punishment
3. The gum got thrown away but my sister found a way to pull the pack out of the garbage and chew it. When my dad caught her got had a smart look on her face.

All of this came from the behavior of a 6-year-old and she still can't comprehend why she got punished so harshly for stealing a pack of gum.

Now a days she plagerizes other peoples work and gives herself credit. She also lies all the time and twists the truth.

I don't know why my parents and other family members honor her so highly.

I worked with a guy like this recently. In any situation, it seems like he had to be heard. So, if you said something at a meeting, he would always come back at you with a challenge to what you said. He found out through some leadership training that he was the type of person who was very confident and didn't care much about other people's emotions, and he was then bragging about it.

I guess he was really nice to some people, because there were a lot of people who seemed to really like him. Especially our manager. It seemed like when he was around, everybody tried to be like him and imitate him. I think something about the way I am bothered him, maybe because I do things really slowly and carefully and I am never very confident about my answers. It was like it drove him crazy that I didn't always take the most obvious path to a solution and that I liked to think about things for a long time. I dunno, maybe that is something annoying about me. But, he would be really insulting towards me when he was aggravated with me.

The funny thing is, I thought, well I can't beat him at his own game, so I just kept being really nice to him. I did some really nice things for him even. Then, the week before he left, he acknowledged how nice I was being and started being really nice to me too. Who knows?? Now that he is gone, I think there is a different atmosphere that makes me feel more comfortable. Things are more relaxed and I feel like I am less scared to share ideas.

I am a writer and I had attempted to post a story of mine on one of those fan fiction sites. I ended up getting a lot of dislikes on it. Instead of giving me constructive criticism other writers gave me little hints by way of emoticon.

It was when I had tried to block these people, report some of their comments and block some of them that things got really nasty. So I was forced to take my story down.

What gets me about this woman is so many men are sexually attracted to her. She's always getting asked out on dates but turns them down every time because she doesn't like relationships any more, but these men still carry on. I always see her male colleagues trying to touch her and almost kissing her, only she quickly backs away before their lips reaches her face. I find it rather unprofessional myself. OK maybe I'm a teeny bit jealous. But it's not like this woman is highly attractive, young or even a nice person. She's in her SIXTIES, just average-looking for a woman of that age, and can act very nasty and stuck-up. She tells us customers that she hates all her colleagues, and then the next minute you see her chatting away to them, and they all seem to worship her like a God. And no, she is not the manager or a supervisor.

She just seems to have this sort of power what, admittedly, not many people have. Something about her has even got my attention (not sexually, I am female too), and although she has made me feel uneasy several times, I still had this urge to speak to her and want to be friends with her. Perhaps that's what happens to everyone else who talks to her. I found her very unique and socially hard work, and I thought people who were a bit different and socially hard work or awkward were the ones who got shunned by society, but this woman seems to have it all. I even wondered myself if she might be on the spectrum, but now I shall never know because I have kind of overcome this power she has and cannot be influenced by her power any more. I have just stopped talking to her after she was really nasty to me a few weeks ago, and now her presence really annoys me, so I just try to avoid her. My partner actually works with the same company she works with, which unsettles me because she's so good at flirting and getting people to talk to her all the time that it seems that nobody can stand a chance, even if they're not too keen on her. It's like she has this power. I wish I had that. I bet if she murdered somebody everyone will still be in love with her.
