What Does a Psychopath Want? Emotional Currency

180 RULE Posted on May 13, 2018 by skylarJuly 21, 2018

In addition to the Gray Rock Method, another mental model we can use to understand what the psychopath wants, is the Slot Machine Model. The bright colored “slots”, also known as the One-Armed-Bandit, are addictive to compulsive gamblers. They while away the hours parked in front of one or a bank of slot machines, inserting their coins and hoping for a pay day. The slots generally take your money for nothing.

Precious Pearl of Purity – The Opposite Of Slime

180 RULE Posted on April 11, 2013 by Jill aka DarwinsmomMay 24, 2018
Pearl of Protection

Purity is not the same as innocence. You were born innocent. You know evil now. You lived with it. You loved it. You slept with it. You have become tainted, not by your own actions, but by the psychopath. While you cannot retrieve your innocence, you can find purity.
