She is using her bad qualities for good.
Model and former Miss World Australia contestant Kanika Batra-Matheson, 28, shocked her social media followers when she revealed her sociopathic personality type.
According to Psychology Today, a sociopath is defined by unethical behavior that consistently demonstrates their lack of conscience, victimizing others through regular exploitation, manipulation, and lying for their own benefit.
With millions of views on TikTok, Batra-Matheson often shares the top signs someone in your life is a sociopath — and uses her own tactics to expose them.
If the eyes are the window to the soul, pay attention to those that stay open.
“I had to teach myself to close my eyes more often so I wouldn’t scare people,” Batra-Matheson said on the social media platform. She explained that sociopaths often look “dead” in the eyes and give an emotionless and blank stare.
Previous research has shown that sociopaths and psychopaths, who are equally devious and even more antisocial, blink less, on average, than the sane.
Batra-Matheson also recommends taking what she calls the “t-test,” a veiled power play aimed at gauging a person’s willingness to thank you—for better or for worse. The term came from the woman’s playbook.
Sociopaths are skilled liars and smooth talkers with an innate ability to curry favor with others. One way they do this is through “mirroring,” attracting a target by matching their energy.
“The way I do that is by saying something absolutely ridiculous and seeing if they reflect me,” Batra-Matheson said.
For example, “I tell them that I spend my free time knitting,” the beauty queen continued. “Somehow they knit too, or their uncle,” she claimed with a roll of her eyes.
As a last resort, Batra-Matheson said she will provoke the suspected sociopath with a “range of emotions.”
“The mask of sanity and kindness slips very quickly at this point,” she warned.
The mental illness advocate has previously explained via social media that her sociopathic personality was born out of her “traumatic” childhood and hopes that sharing her experience will challenge others to be more aware of bad actors in their lives — and understand why they are unable to connect authentically with others.
Despite Batra-Matheson’s experience as a self-proclaimed sociopath, experts say sociopathy — which is not a diagnosable condition but a collection of personality traits commonly associated with antisocial personality disorder — is very difficult to spot in reality. . life.
Bill Eddy, a licensed clinical social worker in San Diego, California, wrote in Psychology Today that “sociopaths have one of the most hidden personality disorders (antisocial personality disorder) and one of the most dangerous.”
“They slip under our radar because they’ve put so much energy into fooling us,” he explained. “But most people don’t know what to look out for and are shocked at how they can be manipulated. Anyone can be a target.”
Those who suspect a sociopath in their midst should be prepared for long stories, unstable behavior and your emotions.
“It’s often your emotions that first tell you to be careful,” Eddy wrote.
“Faith YOUR feelings more than theirs the words. If you have an uncomfortable or extreme feeling, watch it.”
