Predator or Prey: Are you the hunter or could you be easy prey?

The saltwater crocodile is believed to be the largest and most dangerous predator. They can weigh more than a ton and get as long as 23 feet. They kill more humans than sharks will each year.

We as humans can be both the prey or the predator. We can be ripped to shreds by many animals or we can hunt them as trophies. For me, what is even scarier then being prey to an animal, is being prey to another human. You can pretty much avoid bears, crocodiles, and lions. Just stay out of their "homes".

Human predators come in a lot of different types. Some let it be known right away that they intend to cause harm, some use their charm to get you where they want you. I know this because I have experience with a predator but I was not his only one nor is he unique. He (not always a male, in my case it was) did not like the word no and he played it off like it was a challenge. He picks his prey on certain criteria. Usually they are alone, no family support system, someone who is caring and will believe his lies of deception, someone who already has children so he can use them for leverage, and he plays mind games that you are unaware of at the moment. He keeps chipping away at your emotions, confidence and self-esteem until he gets you in his corner of isolation. He then threatens you and your children if you do not comply to his rules and commands. He is very intimidating, exhibits aggressive behavior in private so that no one else sees that side of him, and tells stories that make you believe he means you great harm. My predator is a narcissist.
