People who have wronged you, family, bosses, exes, create an "evil" or "psycho" version of you to soothe their guilty conscience. They are the most dangerous because they are afraid you might "tell" and will try to pre-disqualify you.

Think of cults. They can't have former members talking so they mess with their reputations.

It happens all the time. Even creepy landlords do it. Fuck!

Sociopaths use this human weakness to create "perfect" versions of themselves by appealing to individual imaginations and wants.

People who are empathic or honest in their reactions have the worst "minds eye" profiles because they don't try to manipulate you, they just reflect your own insecurities back at you, many turn away from themselves and hate what they see.
