While you may come across several people in a lifetime, there will be one point of time when you wish you had stayed away from certain people who tend to be psychopaths. It is an even worse off experience when that happens to be a partner whose true nature is only revealed once you’re already into the relationship. Psychopaths don’t exactly have a conscience and won’t hesitate to harm people, even their partners without feeling guilty about it. Although they seem to possess human emotions, that is just a charade and mask for the real way they feel and that is egotistic and self-centered.
Surprising as it may seem and you may already know this that Psychopaths are regular people but will display their eccentric or weird behavior when you least expect it which is the frightening aspect of living with a psycho. If you are suspicious of someone who could be one, then here are 12 signs you’re dealing with a psychopath that could confirm your suspicions are real.
Psychopaths usually care for themselves and nobody else. Their intensity and frequency of lying can go to extremes where such behavior is fairly normal for a psycho who won’t even bat an eyelid when lying as it is regarded as normal behavior for him.
Psychopaths will lie just to suit themselves or to benefit from a situation or get out of a tricky one. If a lie serves their best interests, they will spew lies left right and center regardless of whether they look stupid or sounding ridiculous.

Just as a female psychopath can be regarded as a drama queen a male psychopath can also be just as dramatic in his behavior. Psychopath's always make a big issue over anything and can act erratic at times and even very high strung. Psychos aren’t really the ones to accept responsibilities and will always be the first person to blame others when things go wrong.
Psychopaths will make a small issue seem really a big problem. They may scream about it, shriek, blame you and your incompetence; they will act as if a catastrophe has occurred. They will also try their best to prove their lies and theories are true and will never take the blame of anything.

They will also overload your social media with poems, songs, and little love posts. But that’s just a matter of fattening up the goat for the kill.

Gaslighting is a term that has its origins in a 1938 play called gaslight. A partner uses his manipulative abilities to sow the seeds of doubt in a relationship making the partner question her memory and believe that she has actually done the wrong thing. Psychopaths resort to such behavior in a relationship and before your psychopath partner can make you a nervous psychological wreck, its best to quit and run.
Gaslighting is much like emotional abuse and can affect the victim in a most traumatic way possible.
