"Warning Signs and Stages of Loving a Psychopath"

Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterized by emotional processing disorders and a strong genetic foundation. There are two variants of psychopathy: primary and secondary. Primary psychopaths lack empathy and have high narcissism, while secondary psychopaths are emotionally dysregulated and anxious, often due to past trauma. Psychopaths exhibit charming and charismatic personas in public but can be manipulative and abusive in intimate relationships. They engage in a fast-paced relationship cycle, struggle to offer genuine apologies, display signs of narcissism, have a need for control, and lack morals. Establishing a healthy relationship with a psychopath is difficult, as their actions can cause trauma and create a power differential.
