That was a terrifying thing to learn - that the kinder, more emphatetic you are, the more "attractive" you are to psychopaths. Though I do also think all this talk of psychopaths, manipluation, abuse, etc is doing people like us a disservice, because often you'll find yourself saying "but this person isn't a psychopath". Might not be, but what they're doing/asking/saying might still be wrong or out of place, or just a wrong energy for you.
Thanks! I felt bad eating him :))
Yes, the learning-phase typically begins with, why does this always happen to me? From what I've experienced in life, I think there are different levels on the spectrum of socio/psychopathic behavior. Someone sitting at a 1-3 might appear "normal" (whatever that is) with the occasional revealing moment, a 4-6 might appear either difficult or amazing to be around but always feels "emotionally draining to spend time with", and the 7-10s are full-blown manipulative monsters that lead us to dark places if we choose to follow them.
Lol, all I can hear is the Elmo voice now!
