In my recent experience with a client, I was struck by an immediate and unsettling impression of someone who exuded the qualities of a “schemer” or “manipulator.” He approached me with an aggressive charm that felt less like genuine friendliness and more like a calculated effort to gain an advantage. The sensation was akin to interacting with an intrusive salesperson, leaving me feeling more like a target for exploitation than a person deserving of respect.
This client was exceptionally glib—a trait frequently associated with sociopaths. His rapid-fire speech was accompanied by a noticeable lack of depth. This combination of smooth talking paired with superficiality truly encapsulates what it means to be “glib.”
As I observed him, it was fascinating to see him dismiss or deny clear evidence of his deceitful and abusive history. He displayed an alarming lack of shame and an audacious disregard for the truth, even showing irritation at having to respond to previous behaviors.
The Notorious “Look” of Sociopaths
Shifting gears, I want to touch on the notorious “look” often attributed to sociopaths. This gaze can vary from a crazed intensity, reminiscent of notorious criminals like Ted Bundy, to subtler, more unsettling forms. Regardless of its manifestation, this look carries an inherently predatory quality—an evaluative stare that makes one feel as if they are being scrutinized for ulterior motives.
Many of you might have experienced this unsettling sensation, where it feels as though someone is “sizing you up,” calculating how they might manipulate or exploit you. My client certainly had this predatory gaze. As I spoke, I sensed that he was less interested in what I was saying and more concerned with assessing my vulnerabilities for his own gain.
This sensation can serve as an important warning sign, hinting at something predatory lurking beneath the surface. I refer to this as the “feel” of a sociopath. While not all sociopaths evoke this feeling, many do, and it can be profoundly uncomfortable, often evoking a mixture of intrigue and unease.
For instance, consider a first date with someone who, while charmingly invasive, leaves you feeling flattered yet uneasy. This “sizing up” process often masks a desire for possession or conquest rather than genuine connection or love.
