Warning:

There are two legged humanoids walking this earth who are not human. Whether they are sick or evil is a pointless distinction, and while you're arguing about it, they'll rip your throat out. They are predators. They affect human language and ape human behaviors, but have no human feelings whatsoever. They merely use the words of emotions and caring and kindness in order to get close to victims so that they may feed. Their sustenance may be any or all of the following: attention, sex, drama, money, power, your unhappiness, 'narcissitic supply' or other.

Kindness, attempts at understanding, and attempts at respect will only get you mangled by these things. They view love, empathy, kindness, and caring as 'weakness' to be exploited, rather than positive traits to emulate.

Avoid or put down as if they were rabid dogs. Those are the only options you have when dealing with such. They do not think or feel as humans do; it's a pointless waste of time to try and figure out why they're doing what they're doing. The answer is relatively simple: They are trying to prey on you or someone you care about. Trying to give rational explanations won't help you, stopping to try and figure it out just slow you down enough so that the creature can catch you and drain you dry.
