Move on with your life, put as much distance as you possibly can between you and the psychopath walk away.
When a psychopath tries to contact you, walk away.
When they try to contact somebody you know in order to get at you, walk away.
When they show up at your doorstep full of promises, I'm going to live a new life. I'm a changed man or I'm a changed woman, walk away. Remember, a psychopath will never ever change. Walk away.

I am so grateful for your episode of Thomas Erickson he was actually the one who provided the model of psychopathy that made everything click with my coworker in particular
whenever he hears someone say that they're encountering multiple psychopaths like my neighbors a psychopath my boss is a psychopath and the guy I met on plenty of fish is a psychopath he usually thinks that's highly unlikely
according to Thomas the psychopath is always much canier and definitely more non empathic there's usually not much of an emotional life there at all
if your colleague is exhibiting that kind of behavior on a regular basis maybe you do have a psychopath on your hands if not it's possible she's just your garden variety asshole

Psychopaths are seriously, seriously vengeful.
If they can get back at you for something they think that you did to them, even though they are the problem, they will try to do as much harm as possible to you.
And they do not work by the same rational logic that you and I do usually psychopaths. They don't care about consequences because in their minds, they have the right to do whatever they want.
Move on with your life, put as much distance as you possibly can between you and the psychopath walk away.
