 9 Signs That You're Dating AssocioPath How do you know when you're in a relationship with the wrong person? Sometimes you can't tell when you're in such a relationship, as love can often blind you. So here are 9 signs to help you identify if you're dating associo path. 1. They're motivated solely by their own personal desires. Basic human needs like food, water, or money are what drives them. If you talk to them about making the world a better place, they won't be motivated. In a relationship context, only things like money, sex, food, or whatever you can offer are interesting to them. 2. They're highly manipulative. Socio paths usually prey on your emotions. They find your weak spots and take advantage of them. They socially isolate you from your friends and even family, not allowing you to go anywhere such as the grocery shop, without letting them know and gaining their approval first. This behavior weakens your relationship with other people, so you end up needing your partner more and more. 3. They don't walk the walk. Your partner will tell you one thing, but do another. Or they'll say how they hate certain things, but allow those things into their life. They tell you their grand plans, but none of this shows in their actions. This behavior can be confusing and disorienting, especially when they're being hypocritical. For example, they may tell you that they hate when you're late to dates because it shows that you have no respect for them, yet they themselves will often be late or even reschedule plans with you with no valid explanation or apology. 4. They lack sympathy. Empathy is the ability to understand someone's emotions. Socio paths certainly understand your emotions. They just have no sympathy for you. When you're feeling sad, they simply don't see it as something that should concern them, but rather as an opportunity to exploit your perceived weakness. 5. They don't take responsibility. Socio paths are usually narcissistic, so they believe they are never at fault no matter what. When confronted on their behavior and asked to change their ways, they will say yes to keep you by their side. However, there won't actually be any changes, continuing the cycle of mistreatment and manipulation. 6. They constantly insult you. Your partner's jabs don't always have to be direct. Let's say you're wearing an outfit similar to another person you both encounter. Your partner might make a comment about how ugly and gross the other person's clothes are, and if you confront them, they'll accuse you of being paranoid and play the victim. 7. You're always guilty. You're the one at fault for every mishap, and your partner will never admit when they're wrong. They'll manipulate situations to become the victim when they're clearly not. In the end, you're the one apologizing. 8. They'll project their insecurities on you and everyone else. This is the result of their narcissism and manipulation habits, as they're always trying to look perfect or at least better than the rest. 9. They can adapt themselves. In negative ways, they will adapt to the situation and to you if need be. For example, they may yell at you, making you shut up and playing with your emotions, but when you lash out, they promise to change. In the long run, however, they actually become more manipulative, causing you to become even more insecure. Based on these characteristics, do you think you know anyone who may be dating a sociopath?
