What was said
"The charmer, the hey, how are you, I'm here, that person who's very like overt and charming and trying to very much ingratiate themselves with you. Like those people, always like, why are you trying so hard? And those are true. They're actually charmer that falls into a little bit of that. And I'm gonna say this from a clinical perspective, a true narcissistic personality disorder or an antisocial personality disorder, which is people who you would call a sociopath or psychopath. They have, some of them have that trait, not all, but you'll see it there."
Drawing on insights from a Canadian detective who interrogated serial killers, Pompurus identified overt charm as a major warning sign often associated with narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders. She cautioned against people who work too hard to ingratiate themselves immediately.
