Hi,
So I had a crazy friendship for 4 years that ended horribly last year. I am still trying to figure out what happened. I suspect that my friend may have been a sociopath, psychopath, or at least, narcissist. They also called themselves a sociopath at one point and said that they are emotionally numb. However, I know that they were highly abused in childhood. Therefore, I am trying to figure out whether they were emotionally numb from the abuse but a good person, or if they turned truly evil from the abuse. The reason I want to figure this out is I want to know whether the friendship could have been redeemable, or if I made a good call by ending it completely. Here is their chart:
