How would you describe an ‘Emotional Sniper’?

Question

Do they usually hide behind supposed shyness?

Do you know? Or know someone that is?

Answer 1

"Emotional Sniper" my definition...   This person would make you feel safe and secure, letting you reveal your fears while hiding their true self.  Then, of course, they would use your fears against you in an "unexpected" confrontation.

Answer 2

greetings from Colonel Hunt, having been in Law Enforcement for many years, a profile of a young sniper and i am assuming you mean someone young and armed with a weapon? I believe most of this types are loners or maybe have a friend the same very quiet and get picked on at school, girls laugh at them, however this isn't cool i think all people should have respect geeky or not.  however this emotional loners after awhile decide they have a enough and decided to get even. so they start planning, maybe reading stupid hit man books and i do think there is some shyness.  then one day they snap and walk into a school and let everyone haven't.  when i was in school someone makes fun of you, you wait until after the kid gets out of school and smack the c**p out of them and no more trouble.

Answer 3

Do you mean people who suck out all your emotions....then leave you whimpering on the floor curled up in the foetus position???

....as they walk onto their next "meal" or "target" or whatever you want to call the next victim....

or did I get your question all wrong???lol...would not be the first time...lol....

Answer 4

i've used this term to describe people who keep some kind of emotional distance, seeming unavailable ( maybe through shyness) who at times can strike with a very biting comment or action and then retreat to being unavailable, leaving the other person alone with painful thing...

Answer 5

THEY MESS WITH YOUR EMOTIONS AND WHEN YOU GET UPSET THEY PRETEND IT'S YOUR FAULT THEN THE ATTENTION TURNS BACK TO THEM.
