Why do they do it?

​

 Narcissists require constant validation and praise to sustain their self-centered image and control others. They use abuse to manipulate and dominate their victims, who are merely a means to an end. Abusive behavior continues as long as the victim provides them with the needed attention (narcissistic supply).

​

Sociopaths exhibit antisocial behavior, often engaging in abusive acts impulsively and due to their inability to follow social norms. They may feel guilty or remorseful after their actions but struggle to control their behavior. They exploit others to fulfill their desires.

​

Psychopaths manipulate and exploit others for personal gain without feeling remorse or guilt. They enjoy mind games and engage in abusive behavior to assert their dominance and control over their victims, whom they carefully select.
