Re: Avoid being a target - TOO OBSESSIVE

I've chosen to delete my original response and replace it with the following:

The predatory stare is not the same thing as normal eye-to-eye contact, and has been documented through extensive research.

Excessive touching, especially by individuals who are not on intimate terms, is not the same thing as normal human interactions.  "Intimate" does not mean "sexual," either.

Excessive interest in disclosure of personal finances and fishing for information about source target finances has also been documented through extensive research.

Finally, not all socipaths or NPD individuals are sexual predators, though research has demonstrated that sex is one of the easiest vectors for the NPD or S to use.

I never suggested that anyone live in an emotional prison, nor that anyone should be "scared" to interact with fellow human beings.  What I did suggest was maintaining sensible boundaries and how to avoid being manipulated.  Hopefully, your feeling that the original post was "obsessive" means that you have not yet been exposed to a NPD or S and that you are one of the few who are truly blessed.  If that is the case, it is my hope that you will never experience what tens of millions of others have.

Cheers!
