   I knew two people like that. The whole town loves them and is on their side. One is sneaky and obsessed with murder, and the other one just selfish and violent. But in public, they are charming. They will make everyone think you are the monster even though they beat you or their own kids behind closed doors. It’s disgusting! They just know how to manipulate people, there’s really nothing you can do but stay out of their lives. Move if you have to. Keep believing that eventually, everyone will see the truth. Go to the police if necessary.

   For a start ‘the universe’ doesn’t support anything, it is an uncaring (but awesome) place that we just happen to be living in.
   Now, you say this person is a psychopath, if this is true there should be some evidence for it, such as telling outrageous lies, stealing, cheating ect… You need to find some evidence that the person is doing those things and then others will take notice.

   My suggestion? Stay far far farrrrr away if you can.
   Here’s some really interesting info on psychopaths and sociopaths.
   The difference between a psychopath and a sociopath is somewhat blurred, at least according to the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). The DSM-IV lists both definitions together under the heading of Antisocial Personalities because they share some common traits. Many use the terms sociopathy, psychopathy and antisocial personality disorder (APD) interchangeably. Professionals not only dispute whether there is a difference between a sociopath and a psychopath, but among those that believe there is a difference, there is dispute over what those differences are.
   Even those professionals that identify a difference note that the traits of the psychopath and sociopath are largely similar. Both psychopaths and sociopaths have a complete disregard for the feelings and rights of others. This often surfaces by age 15 and may be accompanied by cruelty to animals. These traits are distinct and repetitive, creating a pattern of misbehavior that goes beyond normal adolescent mischief.
   Both the psychopath and sociopath fail to feel remorse or guilt. They appear to lack a conscience and are completely self-serving. They routinely disregard rules, social mores and laws, unmindful of putting themselves or others at risk.
   Of the more distinguishing traits, some argue the sociopath to be less organized in his or her demeanor, nervous and easily agitated – someone likely living on the fringes of society, without solid or consistent economic support. A sociopath is more likely to spontaneously act out in inappropriate ways without thinking through the consequences.
   Conversely, some argue that the psychopath tends to be extremely organized, secretive and manipulative. The outer personality is often charismatic and charming, hiding the real person beneath. Though psychopaths do not feel for others, they can mimic behaviors that make them appear normal. Upon meeting, one would have more of a tendency to trust a psychopath than a sociopath.
   Because of the organized personality of the psychopath, he or she might have a tendency to be better educated than the average sociopath, who probably lacks the attentive skills to excel in school. While psychopaths can fly under the radar of society, many maintaining families and steady work, a sociopath more often lacks the skills and drive for mimicking normal behavior, making “seemingly healthy” relationships and a stable home less likely. From a criminal standpoint, a sociopath’s crimes are typically disorganized and spontaneous, while the psychopath’s crimes are well planned out. For this reason, psychopaths are harder to catch than sociopaths, as the sociopath is more apt to leave ample evidence in his or her explosions of violence.
   Hence, while similar psychological traits might fall under the antisocial personality heading, from a social and criminalist point of view, the differences between a psychopath and a sociopath may be significant. According to experts, persons with a non-criminal history can also display lesser or varying degrees of either personality type.

   Do you really want the answer? Or, [I don't mean to sound "mean"] do you want to just complain? This is her life to make a success or failure out of. Your life has other challenges. Your “friends” need their opportunities to grow and learn also. Stop trying to correct what you don’t understand and allow this person the right to learn how to change. “Life” will allow her the opportunity to fail and learn. If you go in and “fix” everyone that has an error that you see… no one will be allowed to learn in the way that they “can” learn.
   It appears to me that there is more to this story than we have been told. Good luck and have a great week.
