2. Manipulation
One steady hallmark of the psychopath’s behavior is the strong desire to manipulate and control others. A psycho always has a master plan in mind and will often go to extremes to make it happen. Be on the lookout for high-pressure manipulation practices, such as using strong influence by saying things like, “If you truly love me you will do it.” That is often the kind of thing someone who truly loves someone else would never say.
