How to Protect Yourself from a Psychopath

Understand that psychopathy is a disorder, not a moral judgment. If someone has antisocial personality disorder, their behavior might be unacceptable, and interacting with them might be intolerable. However, antisocial personality disorder or psychopathy aren’t “evil” or “bad.” Rather, these are psychology terms that describe mental health disorders.

While it’s important to distinguish between psychological terms and moral judgments, always keep in mind that you do not have to associate with someone who has mistreated or abused you.
A mental health condition doesn’t necessarily excuse someone’s behavior. The degree to which someone with antisocial personality disorder is in control of their actions is a complex and controversial topic but, regardless, you do not have to tolerate being mistreated.
