Every time you are silent when you strongly need your support, by not standing for yourself, you are doing wrong. Yes, it is. It has harmful effects. It may ruin your self-concept, leading you towards inferiority and depression with times. Moreover, if you yourself are not ready to stand for yourself, then you merely expect any others to do the same for you. If you are right, stand for yourself. If you have doubt, change your decisions. If you find obstacles on the road to making right decisions, then simply find a creative and smarter way to get rid of them. Think, there is always another way. Obviously, this thing has effects on our confidence and our mental health.

If you consider yourself a psychopath, then you must be aware of your destructive attribution. However, as a psychopath, your pathological abnormalities mostly come from your biological predisposition. There is almost nothing you can do for it. What you can do is to flip your curses into blessings so that people will remember you as a life maker, not as a destroyer. You can achieve it in three mindful ways. Take Control of Your life: As a psychopath, you have a mind that looks life in a negative spotlight and thinks everything with an evil point of view, including manipulating and controlling good humanistic qualities. And you do this only to win. Of course, you win and get what you want but after that? One fine morning your mask gets down and everything then vanishes. You again start searching for another good person who will make you happy. And it goes on and on endlessly. As a psychotherapist, I can understand, how alert you need to be all the time throughout the proces...
