Holy Shit.
Mike is a Sociopath.
Thank you Psychology class.
( and credit due to anyone who said this before because I swear someone did. )
Sociopath: Symptoms include: deceitfulness, conning others for personal profit or pleasure, impulsivity or failure to plan ahead, irritability and aggresiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assults, reckless disregard for safety of self or others, consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain steady work or honor financial obligations, lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another.
" Sociopaths love hanging out with normal people because we're such suckers. Normal people don't love hanging out with sociopaths. If you've ever dealt with one, you'll notice though that trying to read their minds at the level of tracking their motives turns out to be inappropriately fine tuned. It's easy to get lost in the details of their rationalizations. They're tell you they care about what happens to you, but they don't. The only motive to track in them is the motive to get what they want.
When you finally figure them out you'll think that you didn't see the forest for the trees. "
Definition and quote from Jeremy Sherman, Ph.D
It all makes so much sense now.
It's like I can see things totally clearly.
I understand that may not be the SAY ALL BE ALL total explination of his behaviour. But good god. It sure puts a lot of things into perspective and makes a LOT of sense.
Wow.
I almost feel this sense of.... relief.
