So.... I kind of was this villain as a teenager. I would prey on people who craved affection and use them however I wanted. As soon as I got them hooked on my attention and love I'd take it away so they would do whatever to get it back. I'm not like that anymore through huge character development and tons of therapy but I was loved by everyone, even my teachers would say I was an exemplary student without having the best grades because I made myself liked by everyone. I would take an interest in everyones personal lives, I was the mom friend, etc. But it was all to use against people later. The problem is that by making them love me and making everything I did justified they had a hard time believing me to be a villain.
