There are a lot more of those around than people think and they are not all women. There is a hidden population of women sociopaths. Not all sociopaths/psychopaths are big time criminals or serial killers – they do just enough to fuck with people, and sometimes fuck up their kids or families. Of course the most successful sociopaths/psychopaths aren’t going to get caught. They know how to play the game, keep their nastiness on the down low; on the outside they are sweetness and light, on the inside they are evil. They don’t play well with others, really.
O, what may man within him hide,
Though angel on the outward side!
Shakespeare, from Measure for Measure
Never feel sorry for a sociopath – they will take advantage of your kindness, take advantage of you for sure. They will try to destroy you.
