When you hear the word "psychopath", you might think of Hannibal
Lecter or Ted Bundy, but most psychopaths are actually non-violent
and non-incarcerated members of society. In fact, there's a good
chance they'll seem exceptionally altruistic and innocent to the
average onlooker.
As described in the _*Psychopath Free book
<http://www.amazon.com/dp/0425279995/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_lc?tag=psychfree00-20&c
amp=14573&creative=327641&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=0425279995&adid=14NSHGH1SWDZ
RX633ENG>*_,
psychopaths are first and foremost social predators. With no
conscience, they're able to use charm and manipulation to get what
they want from others whether it be families, friendships,
relationships, cults, the workplace, or even politics. The bottom
line is, they modify their personalities to become exactly the
person they think you want them to be. /And they re good at it.
/
But when they no longer need anything from you, that's when the
crazy-making behavior begins. Here are some common phrases you'll
hear from a psychopath who's trying to make you doubt your sanity:
*1. "You over-analyze everything."*
Of course there are people who DO read too much into situations. The
difference with psychopaths is that you'll always discover you were
/correct/ in retrospect. They intentionally do things to make you
feel on-edge or paranoid, like flirt with a once-denounced ex over
social media for the whole world to see. When you question them,
they accuse you of over-analyzing the situation. But then a month
later, you discover they were actually cheating with that person.
Psychopaths want you to doubt your intuition by making you feel like
a crazy detective, constantly planting hints to make you feel
anxious and then blaming you for having that anxiety.
*2. "I hate drama." *
And yet, you ll soon come to discover there s more drama surrounding
them than anyone you ve ever known. Psychopaths will first idealize
you above everyone else, praising you for your perfect easy-going
nature. But because they are perpetually bored, this never lasts
long. They are pathological liars, serial cheaters, and eternal
victims. Before long, these qualities inevitably start to surface
and cause you overwhelming confusion. Any time you mention your
concerns or frustration, they ll declare their hatred of drama and
make you feel bad for reacting to their horrible behavior (instead
of addressing the behavior itself).
*3. "You're so sensitive."*
Psychopaths manufacture emotions in others it s what they do. After
once showering you with 24/7 praise and flattery, they ll ignore you
for days on end and wait for you to react. When you finally do,
they ll accuse you of being sensitive or needy. They ll insult,
belittle, and criticize you (usually in a teasing/joking demeanor),
pushing your boundaries until you finally speak up. Then they use
your manufactured reactions to make you seem crazy. Within weeks,
psychopaths can turn an exceptionally easy-going person into an
unrecognizable mess of insecurities and self-doubt.
*4. "You misunderstood me." *
Sure, healthy couples have misunderstandings and miscommunications
all the time. But with psychopaths, they ll intentionally say things
they know will provoke you. Then when you react, they ll turn it
around on you and blame you for misunderstanding. Oftentimes,
they ll even deny that they ever said it. This is called
gaslighting blatantly doing or saying something, and then blaming
you for misinterpreting it (or denying that it even took place). The
fact is, you understood what they said perfectly fine. They re just
trying to make you doubt your sanity.
*5. "You're crazy / bipolar / jealous / bitter / in love with me." *
The name-calling usually starts when things are going downhill fast.
According to a psychopath, all of their ex lovers, colleagues, and
friends are crazy, bipolar, jealous, bitter, or in love with them.
This becomes very confusing when they start reaching out to those
very same people they once denounced to you, using them to
triangulate and cause chaos (making the psychopath appear in
high-demand at all times). Then they toss you in that very same
"crazy" bucket, continuing their never-ending cycle of idealizing
and devaluing anyone unfortunate enough to cross their path.
The only way out is to go No Contact. This means no texts, calls,
emails, or even Facebook friendships. Otherwise you can be
guaranteed that they ll do anything and everything in their power to
make you feel crazy. The good news is, when a psychopath tries to
make you doubt your intuition, it means your intuition was causing
them trouble. Psychopaths seek to psychologically destroy anyone who
might threaten their illusion of normalcy to the world. So when they

Thank you @Peace
<https://www.psychopathfree.com/member.php?u=1> for
continuing to be a light in the darkness I heard all these
things, more than once or twice, and yet at the time I felt
the only thing I could do was defend myself, make myself
heard. Little did I know that I was speaking to a wall.
Knowledge is power!! The power to leave these disordered
foes behind for good!!
