Little Rat (Osmar Del Carmo)

Pathological obsession: The core of the behavior is a deep and irrational obsession with another person, breaking the barrier of "liking" and becoming dysfunctional. Intelligence is used to justify and rationalize this obsession, developing fantasies or distorted justifications for their actions. Control and possession: The goal isn't romance or genuine admiration, but rather to exert control over the victim's life. Intelligence is used to uncover vulnerabilities and use information against the person, making the stalking instrumental and predatory. Inability to accept rejection: Many stalkers struggle to deal with rejection and frustration. Intelligence can be used to devise complex revenge plans or to circumvent the victim's obstacles and restrictions. Lack of empathy: While they may feign emotion, intelligent stalkers often display a profound lack of empathy, viewing the victim as an object to be controlled. The victim's suffering is not a deterrent, but may even be seen as proof of the power they wield. Manipulation and deception: They are masters of manipulation, using their charm or intelligence to gain the trust of others or to create false narratives about the victim. Intelligence is a tool to disguise their true intentions and deceive those around them. Narcissism: Many stalkers exhibit narcissistic traits, with an exaggerated sense of superiority and an obsessive need for attention and admiration. Stalking can be a way to reaffirm their worth, especially after feeling rejected or ignored.
