8. Lying
Telling lies is the psychopath’s bread and butter. It’s the basis for how they conduct their affairs and it is one thing they never seem able to stop doing. A little lying here and there can make its way into almost any relationship and discover a few untruths does not necessarily mean you are dating a psycho. Be alert for a pattern of serious, frequent and often blatant lies that make little sense to anyone other than a true psychopath. Remember, they see themselves as smarter than everyone else and that often sets them up to be caught in their own web of lies.
