What would you consider to be “psycho” behavior?

[kitkatto]

Sometimes people can get a little unhinged towards their partner in a relationship. I know I have some weird toxic tendencies like stalking his ex online or I’ve even gone as far as paying someone to trace his phone’s location when he went missing one time 😅

I’ve seen people go over the top though, like actually stalking their exes, secretly taking photos of them, going over to their place at midnight trying to break in, or even threatening to unalive themselves if they don’t take them back and the list goes on. What kind of behavior would you consider to be psycho?

My ex girlfriend wanted to break up with me but didn’t want to be the one to break it off, so she got a burner phone, started texting me from it pretending to be one of her ex boyfriends, telling me to break up with her, slandering me like calling me a slut, worthless, that I should kms, and saying they’ll slit my throat if I don’t break up with my girlfriend because they “want her back”. Obviously i broke up with her cause I was like whaaaat the f-
She cried when I broke up with her, begged me not to end the relationship. Then a week later i found out from a mutual friend that it was my ex girlfriend who was texting me that whole time.

[kitkatto]

Wow… that’s proper psycho. The fact the she acted heartbroken when you actually broke up with her was the cherry on top.

[petitedollbabee]

For real. She should’ve become an actress lol.

[kitkatto]

Glad you managed to get away from her!

I like a little psycho. Which I do see that as. But when it becomes to far is hard to say really, I can be understanding, and forgive a lot.

But there is an obvious point things are real bad. Most of my exs had Bpd so I know crazy a lot. However only one betrayed me, and I cut her off right away.

She knows my distaste for my mother whom I no longer have contact with her but back then I did. I told her I didn't like her getting along with her but I let that slide. But then she told my mother something I for sure didn't want her to know.

She pretended to my mother that ir was out of concern however she did this right after an argument about something else. And I can smell bs, she totally did this as a way to get back at me.

That showed me I am not dealing with her anymore. One thing I highly don't do is breaking trust on that level. If she told me something in private I wouldn't tell a soul.

[kitkatto]

I guess a little bit of psycho can spice things up but going out of their way to impersonate someone else is next level crazy

[DryGermanGuy]

Drawing and demanding constant attention 24/7 to her, her life and her problems only. Freaking out in the weirdest ways when getting denied that complete attention. 🤦‍♂️

[kitkatto]

Sounds like a spoiled toddler lol

[DryGermanGuy]

In the body of a 25 year old and without any self-reflection. 😵

[kitkatto]

Doesn’t sound like a good time 😅

[Agape93]

Manipulation, controlling behavior, isolating their partner, violence, love bombing etc.

[kitkatto]

Basically all forms of abuse tactics

[DishLady]

1. Anyone who lacks consistency is "psycho"...
2. Anyone who has stalker/jealous tendencies is "psycho"...
3. Anyone who is a pathological liar is "psycho"...

[kitkatto]

I think people who lies like it’s breathing is high level psycho

[MySunflowerSophia]

"So, I actually have to go meet up with someone really quick"

and then he comes back with bruises all over his arms. I would be thinking,
"What the heck is he getting himself into?"

OR if all of a sudden, he comes back with a tattoo on his neck that looks
like a gang symbol. That would be an instant red flag for me.

[kitkatto]

That’s scary and could be dangerous for you, instant red flag for sure!

Girl I dated years ago was a mental case. Just in her ways you could tell there was something wrong with her. It was like she forced herself to go out. She would walk a distance apart and never wanted to hold hands. She would lie a lot. And kept giving me the run around when she went away on vacation when she would be back. And she had no sense of humor whatsoever.

[kitkatto]

I feel like you can usually tell when someone’s a bit unhinged, but sadly love/lust makes us ignore the red flags

[serious]

Short and sweet answer is:

The behaviour they show in psychopathic (genre) Hollywood movies.

[kitkatto]

I like how you can tell in those movies that someone’s a psycho just from their eyes

[serious]

@kitkatto

Yes.

[Valdemort]

As anxiously attached as I am, and needing constant reassurance, the psycho is probably me.

[kitkatto]

I can relate 😭

[Anonymous]

[kitkatto]

Out of pocket but so true

[Jay-_-]

I like my girl a little (a lot) crazy. But I don't know.

[kitkatto]

You need a little bit of crazy to spice things up

[PeterLegg91]

Jealousy to a point your attacking your partner or ex partner for dating someone else

[kitkatto]

As in physical attack?

[PeterLegg91]

Yes :(

[kitkatto]

That’s definitely a psycho move. A restraining order is warranted

[PeterLegg91]

I'm a really jealous guy , but I'd never do that , you can dm me any time :)

[Staximus]

Sounds like you're halfway there already🤑

[kitkatto]

Lol don’t worry I’m hitting the brakes, not gonna let myself get all psycho 😆

[Shy_Steve]

If someone is yelling while talking to me.

[kitkatto]

Some people do “scream talk” sometimes…

[Shy_Steve]

True, but if you’re doing it in my ear, I’ll need compensation, Like dinner and your number.

[kitkatto]

Lol maybe also send them the bill to cover the medical expenses for your poor ear drums

[Shy_Steve]

Yeah, I might need noise-cancelling headphones... or maybe just someone sweet enough to keep me distracted during recovery.

[Scorpio3]

Them not letting go.

[kitkatto]

Oh for sure… That’s a recipe for disaster

[Scorpio3]

Yeah getting someone on investigation discovery.

[Anonymous]

She kept giving me death threats

[kitkatto]

Proper psycho…
