A psychopath should not be considered someone who is aggressive, who is capable of committing terrible acts. Such a person, as a rule, observes the laws, does not violate the established order.
At the beginning of communication with someone, he may be charming, he may seem friendly. Only later does it become incredibly difficult to interact with him. He may be ungrateful, he may lie, he may manipulate. All this will depress and deprive you of peace.
But no one can completely and forever protect themselves from psychopaths. You just need to learn how to communicate with them so that it does not cause harm. And to do this, you need to follow several pieces of advice.
Avoid open conflicts
You can't win against a psychopath. He's been through a lot of conflicts, he knows how to turn everything around so that others are to blame.
It is better to agree to a bad peace, not to try to defend yourself. This will only take away your life force, but will not help to achieve the truth.
Don't show true emotions
The psychopath will feed on them, which is why after communicating with him you can feel exhausted and worn out. Such an interlocutor will feel other people's weaknesses, will play with them, will use them.
Both positive and negative emotions will be good for him as food. It is necessary to always remain neutral during the conversation, not to try to show your mood. This way the psychopath will not be able to dominate, he will not have the opportunity to control what is happening.
Don't give away secrets
All your secrets should be kept to yourself when communicating with a psychopath. The desire to open up to such an opponent will be there, but it must be suppressed in yourself.
The thing is that he will use any information against the individual in the future. You shouldn't give him that opportunity.
Be firm
A psychopath will immediately sense compliance. He will see someone who can be "twisted into submission" and will manipulate such a person.
For this reason, when communicating with such a person, you need to stand firm and not show any hesitation. In this case, there will be less manipulation.
Such advice will not make communication with a psychopath completely comfortable. But still, with their help, it will become safe.
