The Hyena

    

       Don't be fooled by the person who appears to be jolly. Though they may lighten the mood and perhaps be a joy to be around, don't be so quick to deem them as the greatest manifestation of the human form. Hopefully they are as they seem: a genuine person of good will who only desires to bring smiles to others faces. The danger in assuming this is that so often a person such as this is all smiles and laughs but the root of why they act that way may be as simple as it is their salve for nervousness, insecurity, and/or possibly cover for a deep inner sadness. This is not a problem to make much note of unless the hyena character is largely false and their true character is something vile. There are very many back-stabbing people or people who seem to be joy-loving and "sin-free" but are truly an undesirable character.

      Parents are often fooled by the hyena. Often the hyena is the chuckling friend who seems to enjoy their conversation with the parents too much. This person is often described as "bubbly" by the mother. Though he/she claims to be an enemy of excess and is a stickler for following rules, they will often be the one instigating drinking and driving and other reckless activities.

      Women are also commonly fooled by the hyena. A hyena working consciously as a sociopath may manipulate a woman who is not very bright in her method of choosing a partner. If a woman is not very perceptive and sees personality traits in a very flat way, "funny", "nice", etc. a sociopath may act out a role of a very charismatic person who "loves to laugh" in order to stimulate the desired chemical reaction in her. Because of the way that her emotions make her feel, this type of woman will decide that "feeling good" around this guy means that "he is good". Lacking depth, regardless of her other qualities, she will be lured by this facade and regret it later. 
      The main point here is to not be fooled by false-fronts of behavior and to have the insight to see the true character of those one keeps in their company.
