Another thing to consider: Why are they lonely? Maybe they're new in town, maybe they're socially awkward, maybe they've been ostracized from previous groups because they're a sociopath. What happens when you bring a lonely person seeking validation to meet a manipulative sociopath?
- baron816 10y agoIf you go about you life refusing to meet people because you're afraid you're going to meet a sociopath, then you're going to be awfully lonely. Fortunately, most mature adults are pretty easy to get along with. Yeah, everyone's had a bad experience meeting people here and there. But that's just part of living.
- minikites 10y agoI agree, but I'm talking about a situation that could be dangerous for a lonely person who doesn't know any better. A mature adult could recognize the danger but an awkward, sheltered person could easily be taken advantage of by a skilled manipulator.
