This article talked about how psychopaths choose their victims. Many people can't pick out a psychopath considering most act like normal, everyday people so avoiding them could be difficult. Studies have been shown that psychopaths can easily pick out more vulnerable and weak people.
People who weren't outgoing, who have low self confidence, or the socially submisse (things like fidgeting, or no eye contact). The way they pick them out depends on how psychotic a person actually is, the higher the level of being psychotic, the easier it is to pick out the weak. The psychopaths watch the overall body language of the victims. So, these people can pinpoint exactly who good victims would be.
Do you think you could be picked out by a psychopath as a victim based on this article? Why or Why not?

No, I do not think that I could be picked out by a psychopath as a victim based on this article because I do not believe I am socially awkward, and I believe I am plenty outgoing.
Based on this article, I don't think I would be picked by a psychopath. I'm not socially awkward. If I'm alone,on the other hand, there is a possibility because I'm not as outgoing and I'm not the strongest person.
I'm not going to lie, I'd probably be a target cause I move really slow and I hunch my back sometimes. I do carry a form of self-protection (not a gun) when I'm out in public and not at school, so I'm not afraid of being attacked.
No I do not think that I can be picked by a psychopath. I know this because I'm a very confident person and I watch my surroundings at all times. If I don't feel safe I will bring myself to where there are a lot of people so that if I was in danger I can get help.
I would probably be picked of as a victim of a psychopath I may not consider myself socially awkward. But, if I’m out in public alone I tend to walk quickly and avoid eye contact mostly because I want to get whatever I’m doing done so that I can go on with my day. I probably would come off as being weak to a psychopath. If I’m with a group of people though I’m more comfortable and confidant and would probably be ignored so it depends on my situation.
I'd have to say no, based on this article they target vulnerable and weak people, I'm a pretty intimidating person myself, aside from my psychopathic hair, im not a small guy, when im alone i could show low self confidence and maybe seem socially submisse, i usually don't show eye contact in public, But around others im usually outgoing and confident. -Adrian
I don't think that i would be a target. This is because it says that they choose weak and vulnerable people. I do not think that this refers to me because I am very careful of my surroundings and always know what is going on around me. I also don't think that I am socially awkward at all and that's who psychopaths pick. Then again, if I am alone I am not as strong as I am when I am with someone else so that can be a problem sometimes.
Based on this article, I'm not too sure. I can say that I might be picked out by a psychopath. Since I can be socially awkward in different situations but then again it usually just depends on my mood and how weird i am during that day. Because usually i am a person that is out going and wouldn't be picked out by one but who knows.
According to the article I dont not think I would be picked out by a psychopath because I am not really socially akward. On the other hand, if I am alone I mite be choosen by a psychopath because it will probably be obvious that I am nervous, and less confiedent than I would be with my friends.

I don't believe I would be picked out by a psychopath because I'm not socially awkward and when i go out in public I make sure to not be by myself in case a psychopath or anyone like that is out there.
I do not think that I would be a victim based on this article. I say this because I am not socially awkward. Also I have been told that the way I walk with my head up makes me look like I have confidence when really i just have good posture. This would be a sign that would not make me an easy target.
I deffinitly would not be a victim. When i walk i am very aware of my surrounding and i can pick out some that would look suspicious. So no, i would not be a victim to anyone.
No i don't think that i would be a victim of a psychopath because i am a very out going person. I have pretty good self confidence, and I'm not socially awkward. I watch out carefully of my surroundings and if anything would happen to me I'd cause a scene so they wont get me.
No i dont think i would be a victum of a pyschopath because i dont carry myself in a weird way. i am verey self confident and i am not socially awkward. And like any other person would do i watch my surroundings. If i see something weird or something wierd happened i dont make a big deal out of it and dont make a scene either.
