There will never be peace around narcissists. Walk away and let them be to meet their own future and destiny.
Narcissists will actually manufacture the chaos and confusion if there isn’t any.
Narcissists regularly:
1. Instigate crazymaking arguments
2. Ruin holidays & special occasions
3. Provoke jealousy & use triangulation
4. Give you the Silent Treatment
5. Steal your time & energy
My father did all of these things to me. Now I coach people who are experiencing these same things. The gift people with narcissistic personality disorder give us is their consistency. This helps us learn who they are, their red flags, and how to avoid them going forward."
Yep! Just walk away and let them be
I know! But eventually, they will turn on each other. Just walk away, and change jobs, city, or country if necessary. Get as far away as you can from these NOW evil people.
- Know your enemy: Sociopaths manipulate, lie, and scheme against you. They think nothing of spending 10 hours a day on the phone, or in person, telling anyone and everyone lie after lie about you. Your reputation may be in tatters by the time they are done. According to therapist Martha Stout in The Sociopath Next Door, sociopaths have no remorse. They do not feel sorrow when they destroy your life.
- Don't play the game: Once a sociopath targets you, the situation turns into a game for him or her. Your attempts to "fix" the situation with rational conversation is seen as a weakness by the sociopath. She will feel she is winning and will amp up her efforts, even twisting your words and using them against you.
- Escape the insanity: I can't stress enough that you simply cannot win with a sociopath. A sociopath will never stop attacking your reputation in the most ruthless manner possible. The ONLY way to win is to get away from the sociopath. I know this from personal experience. I had to cut off every avenue of possible contact to escape the craziness created by a person who came into my life by chance.
- Take a witness: If you are in a situation where you must deal with a sociopath, such as someone in your family, or a co-worker, refuse to speak with the person unless you have a third party present. This way, you have a witness and your words and actions cannot be twisted and misconstrued.
- Don't let it get to you: A sociopath will tear down your innermost confidence in yourself bit by bit until you wonder if all the conflict is your fault. Take a step back and really reflect on the situation. Take responsibility for your own faults (we all have them), and lay the blame where it belongs for the rest. Do not let the sociopath fool you a second time with his or her charm.
Do not believe the person has changed. Most therapists agree that sociopaths cannot be treated effectively. Instead, take steps to protect yourself and your family. Consider drastic solutions like moving, changing jobs, and making new friends. Remember that it is all a game to the sociopath. She or he does not care if you're hurt. The only goal they have is winning. The only way you can beat a sociopath is to get away from a sociopath. Accept the harsh realitySociopaths do not change perhaps you've come to the conclusion that you are dealing with a sociopath.
