What happens when psychopaths fall in love? Are they romantic?
According to the research it is 1 percent of the world's psychopathic population. These people find it difficult to express emotions, especially empathy, sadness, fear. However, psychologists believe that they can be like everyone else they also fall in love. However, the ways in which they express their feelings and how they communicate in relationships are different.
Psychopaths are capable of loving another person
Psychologists say that there are several levels of psychopathy. If a person does not show many typical signs of psychopathy, they have a better chance of falling in love. Psychopaths can also feel lonely and want to be loved. However, due to lack of emotional attachment and inability to open up to another person, find it difficult to establish a healthy relationship.
Their relationships are based on different reasons than traditional relationships
They try to establish emotional bonds and intimacy in the relationship, but without much success. They will usually enter into a relationship based on on shared beliefs and attitudes towards the world, but not on emotions. Be careful, psychopaths are extremely selfish and usually try to manipulate their partner into giving up their own interests for them.
Psychopaths long for closer relationships, but rarely know how to create and express them
They operate in an attachment style called avoidant attachment. Although they try, they usually fail to form emotional bonds with others, as they are unable to show empathy and connect emotionally.
They cannot offer emotional support to their partner
Psychologists believe that most psychopaths he feels no fear or distress. And because they have never known or felt these emotions, they cannot show empathy. Some struggle to understand how to show emotions. Research showed that they can care for others, but only if they do so voluntarily.
They prefer short relationships
They follow a strategy "live fast and forget". This means that they prefer to form short-term relationships without emotional attachment. Few are committed enough to put enough effort into creating a long-term relationship. They prefer to put yourself first - me, me, me - but such an attitude makes it difficult for them to find a suitable partner.
They know very well how to manipulate their partner
They read other people well. they know how to be charming, relaxed and perfect in any situation. This makes them great manipulators. They are confident in themselves, they feel no remorse if they hurt someone with their actions.
Their love can be destructive
They don't really know how to connect and communicate with others on an emotional level. A romantic relationship is devastating for them and their partner. They behave in a relationship impulsive and are emotionally unavailable. Manipulativeness and lack of empathy are destructive to their partner's mental state and contribute to instability and tension in the relationship.
Their feelings and attitude may improve over time
The good news is that they can improve their behavior if they are motivated enough to do so. Psychologists believe they can love and good communication with the people they love teach them to become more empathetic towards other people.
