The top 10 jobs that attract psychopaths
Trust me, it bring out the worst in people. With everyone looking up to you, and people tend to be respecter of people, it can happen very easily. Matter of fact, I think this is one of the reasons for Christianity's downfall in the West (because of a lust for power and control).
Considering what's come out in the recent royal commision, it doesn't surprise me at all. They love power. They love controlling people. They love telling people how to live their life, and engendering guilt, while physically, emotionally, sexually and financially abusing them. I grew up around several of these people. I was lucky . Apart from the ones that actually carried out the abuse, there were at least as many others who covered it up and moved them on to other communities to abuse a new bunch of kids. They're cut from the same cloth. My mother still refuses to hear anything against them.
Lawyers don't surprise me either. I have a family member who is a lawyer. He's a narcissist and probably a psychopath.
ugh?my husband is a sales person?incredibly good at it although he has NO degree at all?any kind of sales, he has done?
he NEVER talks about his feelings?I do believe he is a psychopath?but the ONLY real thing he has told me is that when he was little he always wanted to be a surgeon
ugh?I just took that psychopath test?NOT for me, but I answered based on things I have seen my husband do over the last 15 years or know he has done, people have said of him, etc?score? 29 out of 33?and in some, I actually gave him the benefit of the doubt by not replying with strongly agree?ugh?There is NO DOUBT in my mind this is what he is and he has driven me NUTS, crazy, literally crazy, for 15 years. It has been a couple of years of me putting 2 and 2 together and studying this aspect of him. Before I just did not have time because our life was so chaotic between my work, homeschooling our autistic son and his ex-wife/family issues?it is not until I stopped working and his ex-wife/family issues disappeared that I was able to breathe a bit and start seeing things more clearly. Scary.
