This Diagnosed Sociopath Revealed How She Seduces Men And Manipulates Them

Kanika Batra is a model, author, and self-described mental health awareness advocate who has been diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), also known as sociopathy. People with this mental health condition often show a long-term pattern of manipulating and exploiting others. They have a tendency to lie, break rules, and disregard others' rights or safety. They can behave violently as well as impulsively. These individuals are deceptive and can come off as charming, attractive, or even charismatic. Remorse or guilt is something they don’t express unless they’re doing it as a means to manipulate someone.

Kanika has decided to bring awareness to her disorder by sharing some of the things she's done as a sociopath. In one of her viral videos, she openly discusses how she seduces others. Her actions are (unsurprisingly) toxic – but can her shedding a light on this topic help others determine if they’re being played or strung along? Or will people actually put her videos into practice? Let's hope it's not the latter. In any case, here are some of the things to stay wary of, as shared by Kanika.

She Gets Them To Tell Her Everything

"When I first meet people, I get them to tell me everything about themselves,” Kanika says. She also adds that she doesn’t ever tell them everything about herself. "People love mystery, and they also love talking about themselves,” she adds. She's right – there is an incredible allure to mysteriousness, especially when social media has enabled everyone to express themselves openly. With a society that has begun to normalize "oversharing," mysteriousness has become an almost rare trait. In addition, many people are far more in love with the idea of an individual rather than who they actually are. Fantasizing has also become a form of escapism, a way to feel excitement and passion.

She Becomes Passionate about Their Hobbies

“Once I know enough about them, I become very passionate about their hobbies, their goals, their dreams – everything," explains Kanika. “With enough information, I can be anyone's soulmate." We can’t help but gravitate toward someone who shows even the slightest bit of interest in the things we are passionate about. However, sociopaths will try and learn everything they can about you to use your strengths and weaknesses against you. 

She Compliments Men

"Women don't compliment men very often, so when I do this, this often gets them hooked. I make sure every time that they talked to me, they get a very good feeling,” Kanika says. Unfortunately, she’s correct. Men are under-complimented. Men are hurting, and they’re not given the love and attention they need. "I love bomb through texts and calls, and I make sure that I'm dressed perfectly whenever I meet them," she adds. It makes sense how “love bombing” can hook someone, especially when they're insecure. It’s giving them the attention they so badly crave and need.

She Starts Playing the "Hot and Cold Game"

“Be warned at this point – you might develop some stalkers,” Kanika explains. Kanika describes a time when she accidentally dumped a guy on his birthday, and he proceeded to park outside her house the entire evening and wouldn't leave. Abusers and sociopaths will bombard their victims with compliments or show affection and then suddenly detach to cause someone to become dependent. This conditioning is known as intermittent reinforcement; it's when a victim gets sporadic rewards that keep them bonded to their abuser.

Closing Thoughts

There are some obvious red flags here. Unfortunately, it seems many people are doing what she does already. "Girl boss," wrote @crystalvoyd. "So am i a sociopath?" asks @cxrxcxr.

Let’s hope these users are joking. It still goes without saying that Kanika’s videos can actually help people determine whether or not they’re being used by sociopathic individuals. And, believe it or not, there are millions of them among us. With online dating growing, it’s important to stay wary of those you meet.
