This is a sobering reality. Lizze was watching Dr. Phil on her phone this afternoon and apparently the show was about *cult leaders *and *sociopaths. *During the show, Dr. Phil had this list up on the screen.
The list is called the *Evil Eight. *
Basically, there are people that he refers to as *BAITER's. B*ack stabbers, *A*busers, *I*mporters, *T*akers,** *E*xploiter's and or *R***eckless People.
1) Arrogant entitlement 2) Lack empathy 3) No remorse/guilt 4) Irresponsible/self-destructive 5) Thrive on drama 6) Brag about outsmarting 7) Short-term relationships 8) Fantasy world/delusional
There's way more to the story but this is it in a nutshell.
Here's what's interesting. This list describes Gavin to a tee and that's really disturbing. The only item on the list that's even remotely questionable is number 7.
Now I'm not sure that this is the *de facto *way to identify a sociopath but it's certainly concerning that he scores at least 7/8 on this list. It also goes along with what we've already known and suspected.
It doesn't mean that Gavin is evil. It just means that he's going to have a rough time making good decisions and decisions that don't hurt the people around him because he's incapable of feeling remorse. Without a moral compass to guide him, he's much more likely to hurt people and do things to get in trouble because he's living life without a conscience.....
This is why we are trying so desperately to keep him moving along a straight and arrow path. At least as straight and narrow as possible..
