It's an almost funny feeling, when you find out that a person you once called a friend is actually the one person who is out trying to destroy your life.
Was this monster ever a friend to begin with? Who tricked you into confiding in him, manipulated and deceived you while putting up a facade of friendship?
I've never thought it would happen to my life actually, playing out like a movie scene, apparently real life psychopaths exist. And it's even more alarming in real life.
Recalling an article I read online recently about a neuroscientist who discovered he himself was a psychopath. Apparently psychopathic behaviour is signified by missing activity in certain parts of our brain. It's morbidly funny, how that missing activity is translated into a dark empty brain scan, where the inactive parts of the brain displays plain darkness. These inactivity translates to anti social behaviour like a general lack of empathy.
You know what the scariest part is? It's that psychopaths will never know they are psychopaths.
In their minds, they live in a different world, they perceive their behaviours as being acceptable or even normal. They think they are pretty normal guys, or even nice guys, when in actual fact what they do is creepy and bizarre. They can be passive aggressive and self centred. Manipulative and deceitful, some may even try to justify what they do with strange theories that would only make sense to themselves.

Fingers crossed, I'll never have to deal with any psychos ever again.
