However, without having an adequate assessment of their behavior, maniacs often live in society until they are caught. In order not to become a victim, you need to know how to recognize a maniac. It turns out that psychologists have compiled a clear list of signs that will help bring the obsessed to clean water.
Who becomes a maniac?
Before you start drawing up a psychological portrait of a maniac, you need to find out who is prone to this disorder and what drives such people. As a rule, such mental disorders are always accompanied by genetic abnormalities, childhood traumas associated with domestic violence or too harsh upbringing. Sometimes a manic syndrome appears against the background of complexes or injuries to the head. This is true for sexually obsessed people. Their victims are usually the weaker sex or children. The situation is aggravated withthe emergence of alcohol or drug addiction. Much of this can be learned by meeting a person. However, it is worthwhile to correctly understand the rejection of moral and ethical standards, which, unfortunately, is inherent in many people today, and mental deviation. That is why, in the course of long studies and scientific experiments, experts compiled a description. It is designed to explain how to recognize a maniac and protect yourself from unwanted consequences.
By correspondence
The age of high technology allows people to get acquainted at a distance through social networks and forums. On the one hand, this is a safe way to get to know a person and, after some observations, decide whether to continue communication or not. On the other hand, it forces maniacs to be more inventive, carefully sneaking up on the victim. How to recognize a maniac by correspondence?
Psychologists advise paying attention to how open and simple a person is in communication, what topics he likes to raise, and which ones cause him tension, and he tries to “jump over” to others faster. In a conversation about hobbies, obsessed people inadvertently share information that they collect something. Of course, a normal person can also collect stamps or antiques, but when secrecy, curiosity and a desire to see you soon are added to this item, you should be wary.
However, according to psychologists, virtual correspondence provides little information about a person. Maniacs are masters of disguise, so it's hard to guess exactly who is sitting on the other side of the monitor.
By behavior
Behavior can betray a predatory nature. It happens that a harmless and friendly neighbor looks like an ordinary person during the day, and literally turns into a monster at night. It is sometimes difficult to imagine this. However, there are certain signals. So, how to recognize a maniac by behavior?
- Let's imagine the situation. You agreed to go to the movies with a stranger. The film shows scenes of violence, murders, fights, etc., and your companion watches it indifferently. Do not rush to admire his endurance. American scientists in the course of research found that maniacs calmly perceive such pictures due to certain deviations in the cerebral cortex. Of course, such composure can be feigned in order to show their masculinity. But by the expression on the face, one can determine whether a person is looking at these horrors with pleasure or seriousness.
- These people like to carefully consider their victim without a smile or other assessment. As long as you are nervous and say something quickly, not a single muscle will flinch on his body.
- Maniacs don't like to draw attention. They say little, dress modestly in dark clothes, try not to stand out from the crowd, and watch their appearance moderately. Often such people are pedantic, adhere to certain rules. This is exactly what women like, who see in such homely, a little boring men an ideal husband, father.
By speech
Even if at the meeting you found some characteristic qualities anddoubted, it is still worth looking for other signs of a maniac. How to recognize them will be prompted by speech features and exciting topics for conversation.
- Possessed people are not emotional. Even talking about some turning points in their lives, they do not feel regret, sadness, as if this did not happen to them. Maniacs pay increased attention to cause-and-effect relationships. Their speech is devoid of imagery, jokes.
- Satisfaction of basic needs is the main goal of the life of maniacs. Therefore, people with mental disorders like to talk about what they ate and how they slept. Frequent, long conversations about money can also be an alarm signal.
- Despite popular belief, possessed people do not always talk openly about sex, use ambiguous phrases, allusions, diminutives. On the contrary, frank topics may be banned and cause a clear protest. Therefore, in the question of how to recognize a maniac, one should rely on a holistic portrait of a person.
Maniac or …
Often women succumb to the tricks of pick-up artists or manipulators. No, meeting them does not threaten rape or something even worse, but communication can be unpleasant. Such people are persistent, do not compromise, love to talk about sex, do not want to spend money on courtship. They are original in dating methods and dating ideas. They may well be confused with a maniac, but in essence they are not. All manners, actions and words are realized by them and are conditioned by the purpose of flirting,frivolous hobby for the acquisition of another "asterisk" or profit. So, for example, manipulators are often hunters for other people's wallets.
Unlike true maniacs, these types of people look flawless, witty and love everyone's attention. Knowing perfectly well how to recognize a maniac, cracking down on such "daffodils" will not be difficult.
What to do?
- If you met a person on the street or on a social network, do not rush to be frank and lay out all your personal information about where you live, study, work, phone number, etc. This is the first thing a maniac wants to know.
- It is better to make an appointment in a public place. And just in case, arrange a test call with a friend or girlfriend during a date. If the acquaintance does not arouse suspicion, then you can safely continue the conversation. If doubts arise, then such a call will be a reason to stop it.
- If a fan is too intrusive and quick-tempered, don't be rude to him. Better to laugh it off, spice it all up with flattery, and politely leave.
- If you know how to recognize a sexual maniac, then do not forget that they will not let the victim go so easily and will definitely arrange surveillance. Therefore, you should not leave the date, but leave. Preferably by taxi, indicating a different address first. And then transfer to public transport and safely go home.
