Got an armchair psych theory about Arias? Discuss it here:

omg... ^^ characteristics of a psychopath!
I am going to snip some of these and bring them over for discussion!
Example- how did you feel when your Mother beat you with a wooden spoon? ANSWER: I felt . . . . betrayed and confused. These are very strange words used to answer a question that involves a highly personal emotional experience. Indeed they are words that an author would use as a 3rd person story teller.
I think she is a psychopath who also has Borderline PD. The narcissism is covered by psychopathy -- they are narcissistic and more.
If she were just BPD, I don't think she'd have been as successful as she was in fooling people. For her to have a 4-year relationship with a man and have him still liking her, she knew that her psychopathic manipulation of him was a higher priority than allowing herself to act out as BPD folks do. She was smart/cold enough to try to hide it. Usually, borderline folks aren't as able to or aren't concerned enough about their behavior to hide it that well.
I think the cold, calculated manipulation is the main sort of behavior she runs on day to day. The emotional, BPD stuff sounds like it's more when she gets angry or jealous and upset. So I think she's not really very emotional -- she's cold... until she blows her top or jumps in the car to stalk someone hours away!
So her Jeckyl and Hyde sounds like Jeckyl = charming psychopath, and Hyde = psychopathic rage and BPD jealous, tire-slashing, stalking bonkers.
Has she actually had any psychiatric evaluation? It seems to me that a person that has any or all of these traits could possibly be deemed unfit to stand trial. In other words out of touch with reality.
