My mental and physical health was nearly destroyed - systematically, and deliberately by my ex. He's only been gone less than a year now and I can finally sleep. We're still in the same county, so I hardly feel safe yet, but I'm getting there. As far as the drugs, I agree - don't take them if you can avoid them. They made my mind numb, and my ex messed with me even more (gaslighting, lying, etc). I am finally feeling hopeful, and I'm starting to even like myself again. I hang on to that hope-ty!

What normally happens in a relationship between to psychopaths?

[DaftAida]

Nice tattyput!

[Denise11Schultz]

Loved the tshirt from "The Prisoner". Can't quite read it, but 'I am not a number' is close, and a good reminder. I am not a number to the next pyschopath I encounter. I will observe and stay off their plate.

[SubRosa33]

You very much, know your subject matter.

[joojoo1234]

I believe that their are obviously organized or contained and disordered and uncontained and parasitical. The latter you feel are "off" and have a bad temper. Kind of like they are always just coming from a negative encounter with someone just around the corner. Having zero conscience or humanity and the appetite of a lizard with zero social responsibility.  I don't buy the U.S. figure of 1 in a 100 though.

[missfl70]

i really liked this video because of the positive, uplifting message, and your sharing your lovely painting, explaining the symbolic meaning. I'm glad that you mentioned that you were going out on the mountain to sketch and enjoy the outdoors. I had a nice mental picture of you doing that. Being out in the beauty of nature, breathing fresh air and getting some exercise is like a balm to the soul.

STALKING-HARASSMENTS-TORTURING AND RUSSIANS-JEWS-MAFIA

Those Russians Ukrainians (Specially those old-lonely people they tamper with laundry, belonging family and what not)(almost they are the same) too people are plain crazy, crazy, crazy I can't believe what those people capable of doing it's impossible!

I think they brought with them the culture from the "SOVIET-UNION" Trust me when I'm saying it-I lived long enough to know their tactics and technics They are absullity nuts!

[Creatrix13]

Politics and the STATE are part of a negative devil's vortex that just sucks energy and runs people down. Realign with nature and feel anew - nature is everything - media is nothing - it's brainwash. I don't do watch television, listen to radio or read newspapers. Thank you for your great contribution.

[bernusdellus]

Nice message. :)

[mlisamh]

thank you.

[kazb25]

what a beautiful painting i absolutley love that painting its my cup of tea, anyway quick Q, u know when a psychopath creates a mirior image of u in them to use flattery and make u feel like they are your soul mate? well is it part of their game of 'business' to eventually turn the mirror around so they start to place themselves on you? like for example they can be controlling but they accuse u of being controlling etc..or they lack empathy but accuse u of not caring?? is this a trait ?

[ThomasSheridanArts]

Firstly, thanks glad you like my artwork.

Regards the question: It is just a challenge to prove to themselves you can manipulated for the sake of it. Regardless of the outcome: sexual, financial, political, martial, social, bullying... They do not care - once you have been succesfully manipulated, mind-controlled, used-up and then discarded casually that's all that matters to the psychopath.

Return the compliment by ignoring them and moving on. The game is over and the pieces are put away.

[theporksicle]

I appreciate the work of people who expose psychopathy as the danger that it is, like yourself and Dr. Robert Hare etc but...I fear that people who hear about it and hear statistics such as 1 in 100 are psychopaths blow it out of all proportion. They apply it to their own lives.

To all the women on blogs and YT vids talking about their psychopath ex-boyfriends, the odds are he is not a psychopath. True psychopathy is very, very, very rare. Sociopathy/proto-psychopathy is common though.

[ThomasSheridanArts]

Declaring ex-partners/spouses etc "psychopaths" and "sociopaths" because they broke up with them is a real problem alright, and I agree completely with your point. I have encountered people with their own pychopathic tendencies doing just that. Everyone who ever dumped them was a "psychopath... " Major issue.

Unfortunate as it blurs the issue and gets the real predators off off the hook.

This does not change the fact that psychopaths are real.

1 in 25 are psychopathic BTW. Might be higher.

[ThomasSheridanArts]

cont'd...

This is why I always tell people to be as emotionally neutral as possible when considering that one might be dealing with as psychopath as to tag someone who is not a P with this term is a terrible thing to do. This is not to be taken lightly.

Yes I agree in general with your point these people who rationalised their own failings by tagging people who do not deserve to be called "psychopaths". It is not good at all.

However, when you encounter a real psychopath you just know it.

[ThomasSheridanArts]

Sorry I should of stated 1 in 25 are Psyhopathic to one degree or another. There are frequencies within the psychopathic spectrum everything from shifty lowlife manipulating old folks out of their homes and savings to despots. They all have one thing in common. They do it without a care in the world and without thinking twice of the impact on others.

This is what a psychopath is. People are still hung up on the serial killer notion when they hear the term although that is changing.

Thanks.

@ThomasSheridanArts

I've dealt with one true psychopath in my life, one person who I know very well and who would probably score almost 40/40 on the PCL-R. I don't mix in criminal/semi-criminal circles much, nor with salespeople or fly by night businessman types, so I haven't met too many.

Psychopath is a good term to keep in my view though, rather than sociopath or Anti Social Personality, because it has that force behind it- ASPD or sociopath make these individuals sound too tame.

[ThomasSheridanArts]

That's the reason I use the term Psychopath rather than Sociopath. It has a very powerful emotional resonance and can not be watered down. I always thought ASPD was absurd - sounds like someone allergic to going to parties or something.

With Narcisscist being the worst and most misleading. It is also the term psychopaths like to use to call themselves as it does not seem so predatorial.

[theporksicle]

@ThomasSheridanArts

Indeed. Narcissism is a very benign diagnosis, it conjures up images of a harmless, vain fool who spends too much on jewellery and looks at themselves in the mirror for too long- a psychopath is a million miles away from that.

I'd love to see how diagnosed psychopaths respond to the diagnosis, once everyone knows they are manipulative and dangerous. I suppose they continue to try to manipulate the more gullible people around them into believing they have been misdiagnosed

[theporksicle]

@ThomasSheridanArts

I suppose it is a matter of semantics, since psychopathy and sociopathy are often used interchangeably. I remember hearing Dr. Hare say that there are 'tens of thousands of psychopaths', whether he was talking about Canada or America that does seem very low but the 1 in 25 figure sounds high.

When you say 1 in 25 do you mean 1 in 25 are a Ted Bundy-potential serious psychopath or that they would meet the diagnosis for ASPD?

[ThomasSheridanArts]

@theporksicle

I am using the standard guidelines. 1 in 25 will be psychopathic to some degree.

I think what really needs to be done is the various frequency of psychopaths to rbe ated along the lines of something like this:

Level 1 Psychopath: Con Artist, Sexual Deviant, Pretty Criminal

Level 2 Psychopath: Abuser, Rapist, Pedophile, Wife Beater, Animal Cruelty

Level 3 Psychopath: Killer

Level 4 Psychopath: Serial Killer, Tyant

Something like that. would clear up the confusion and overlaps.

[juliacuteone]

@ThomasSheridanArts The different levels - do you think that it is possible for the Psychopath to move up the levels? The Psychopath that I know seems to be getting worse with his behaviors and his sanity mask slips more and more as he ages, his lies are getting worse (he can't keep up with them and plenty of uhhs and umms). He is Level 1 & 2, mixed in with different ages of his life, bouncing back and forth, but he is plenty capable of killing someone and that is what many fear the most.

God bless you for this message!

[RichardPears]

Beautiful artwork! X

[nuggert]

Maybe our society as a organic biologic whole had made adjustments to reduce population growth.

Media makers subconciously create images and ideas that will make a woman less likely to bear a child. Why?

The media maker hates the overcrowding.

The policy makers hate the overcrowding

Elite people hate the crowd

[Salamphoenix]

omg psycopathy is actually the disease of modern times! i myself was in that dark place bcz of a psychopath in both my and my husbands life. boy how much we suffured! but im thankfull that is over but we do care about that guy, though bcz hes a member of the family but we stay away from him just praying for him....

[Salamphoenix]

omg psycopathy is actually the disease of modern times!

[ThomasSheridanArts]

@Salamphoenix

What is really happening in the prevaling media is psychopathic and it creates proto-psychopaths of otherwise normal people. It is not the media is making people into psychopaths as such. It is telling them "hey this is how you should behave..." and stupid people emulate this without thinking.

[nuggert]

You hate the psychopaths. The psychopath rethinks a different plan to fucking destroy you.

[ThomasSheridanArts]

@nuggert

Who said anything about hating them? You just get the hell away. Easy.

[loveacarrot]

Thank you for these videos. They are great. My ex boyfriend was a psychopath and i carry a lot of trauma from the relationship. I still am so glad that I know what to look for now and how to protect myself.

[TheaDragonSpirit]

Also... isnt lord of the rings a satanic film... a masonic film... Am not sure I just heard somewhere it was? 

[ThomasSheridanArts]

@TheaDragonSpirit

Nope.

[TheaDragonSpirit]

@ThomasSheridanArts haha I new the answer haha... It is... It reprents the all seeing mason EYE... I am not a human... I mean humber? What are you then?

[TheaDragonSpirit]

Don't mean to be rude... but why have you got 6 6 6 6 in your painting above the tree/hotairbaloon

[thegoodlocust]

That's a really lovely painting. I was actually going to comment on it before you started talking about it.

[ThomasSheridanArts]

@thegoodlocust

Thanks.

[RunAMuckGirl2]

That's a stunning painting. You are very inspiring. Thank you!

[ThomasSheridanArts]

@RunAMuckGirl2

Thank you. I am glad I am inspiring you.

[cosmikation]

Your painting is wonderful! It has meaning for me, too.  I'm crossing that wire, myself, at this moment. I also appreciate your philosophy and your eagerness to motivate people to look out for themselves. I am in a situation right now, and I find your advice very helpful.

[ThomasSheridanArts]

@cosmikation

Ah I delighted and thanks my friend. Keep focussing on your beautiful abilities of your own human potential and you'll make it too. One day you'll wake up and see the psychopath for what it is and it'll be like a huge weight lifted off you and all good things will flow into and out of your life. Take care.

[Caspar33]

Thanks. It has been fascinating taking a look at the deplorable state of Creation through this series of yours. Well done. You are so right about the Media. In my view advertising was the key false step for mankind. The objective of to make oceans of money. I love good films but have to say the output from Hollywood is either about psychopaths or fashioned by them. Dead right. Tolkien was onto something. And I begin to suspect that each of us has to deal with a similar quest. All the best.Fred

[ThomasSheridanArts]

Spot on Fred. How to individual psychopaths control their victims; Through false promises which they have no intention of fulfilling (democracy/politics), via putting you in a false sense of reality (showbiz/Hollywood) and by limited your personal and psychological perspectives and worldview (media/journalism). What's the golden rule when discovering somone is a psychopath? Get away FOREVER and no further contract. Same rule applies to the Politics, Media, Organised Religion and so on... Simple
