deceit

I agree with you, my friend. But sometimes we need to hide something to protect the truth and love ones.

hi ladyphoenix...these people sound like sociopaths to me...i have read a book about them, "the sociopath next door" which describes how these evil people are masked as "regular" people but are really evil and cold monsters without healthy human emotions and feelings..those kinds of people are often serial killers and abusers but some do evil cruel things that are not really crimes and are not diagnosed or punished...another book about them is "the mask of sanity" by dr. henry kleck...people who are like this have no legitimate emotional reactions or feelings and they watch others and mimic them so that they can blend in and others will not know that they are dangerous...it really is important to be careful who you become involved with and sometimes it is hard to tell that these sorts of people are not genuine...i read another book called "dance with the devil, my marriage to a pyschopath" by barbara bradley and this lady married a man who claimed to be a war admiral and she believed him and he had medals and uniforms and things and told a lot of stories that turned out to not be true and he tried to kill her when she questioned him...then, she found out he had never been in the navy at all but had stolen all the things..her big clue was that the fbi came to her house looking for her husband and the medals...

Amen! They teach you that if you ever have someone you know who is in rehab or somethingn like that. They will tell you all about this persons characteristics and teach you about how they will manipulate and lie to get what they want. It blows my mind how much confidence these people have when they are doing this. They are con artists sort of and good at it!

Hi. I agree with you partly on this. I mean, these are qualities that the usual criminal would possess. But there are those whose profiles are somewhat different. Like there are criminals who seem to be narcissistic. That they would rather brag about what they could do even before doing the criminal act.

unless they think they are smart, nobody can catch them or believe them if they say it with a smile. It's way easier as we think to recognize a thief, criminal, fugitive or person with hidden motives. Esp. if we are not blind for reality, if we can live with the answer, if we don't just want to hear what we like to hear, if we listen to our instinct and don't believe everything just because someone says it's the way it is. There is nothing wrong with doubting and questioning!
