this is freaking scary, i have some of these traits and i aint saying which ones.

The serial killer is usually male. He has a history of problematic relationships due to shyness or failure to attach to others. He may have been victimized physically, emotionally, and/or sexually, sometimes in connection with his visible vulnerability (he is an easy target) and sometimes due to pure circumstance. Or he may have been neglected and abandoned by one or both parents. He had authority figures who terrorized him as a child and/or did not provide enough caring discipline for him to learn WHY he should do the right thing. He has been overly intimate or notably detached in his relationships with parents and siblings.

He has a record of previous arrests (before he is discovered as a serial killer) on record for theft, drugs, assault, or sex offenses. He has used substances and behaviors in addictive or compulsive ways. He may be obsessed with sex and with certain types of sexual activity. He may be noticeably abnormal emotionally and socially, or he may have perfected a “mask of sanity” that fools everyone into believing he is not only normal, but exceptional in his empathy and leadership. He has a higher IQ than the average antisocial non-serial killer. He enjoys watching and discussing scenes of extreme violence and does not become uncomfortable with such topics. He may have studied serial killers and seemed to identify with them or be on their side. He lacks any instinct to develop increasingly intimate relationships with people he cares for, opting instead for one-night stands and infidelity if he is in a partnership. He does not trust anyone; he does not understand what it means to trust. He may, however, be able to convincingly act as though he does trust people.



Often the serial killer is misogynistic and reactionary in his ideas about gender roles. He holds himself to a high standard of macho authority and has intensely ambivalent feelings toward people who work in law enforcement. He may try to spend time with police officers and detectives at the same time that he is breaking the law in the worst possible ways. He wishes to be part of a group, like law enforcement or the survivalist movement, that uses violence as a method of control and heroism. At the same time, he is a loner who experiences a basically constant (though not always conscious) rage toward the entire human race that prevents him from forming any deep connections with others. What he wants is unconditional respect, deference, and special consideration for him as a person who is not obligated to obey moral rules. The antisocial killer does know the legal definition of right and wrong, but he believes that his actions are exempt from such judgments.
