6 Phrases Narcissists And Sociopaths Use To Make You Question Your Own Sanity
By Kris Di On Nov 7, 2019
It may be hard to believe, but sociopaths are all around us and we have all surely bumped into one or more at some point in our lives.
Plenty of people will not even notice they’re dealing with a sociopath until later.
People who play with your head may seem innocent. However, they usually want to manipulate you for their own gains. In addition, sociopaths are great manipulators and they are able to take control of almost anyone.
In a similar way, narcissists often manipulate people for their own benefit and in order to make themselves look good in front of others.
Have you had experiences with narcissists or sociopaths?
As soon as you learn about their tricks of manipulation, it will become much easier to recognize them. What follows are some of the most common phrases you will hear from a narcissist or sociopath.
1. You are just…
The blank can be filled to your choosing. Your spouse comes back home later than usual and smells like another person’s perfume. When you ask what’s going on, they say that you are just too jealous and paranoid. A sociopath will call you names and bounce off all criticism back towards you.
You could have a good reason to feel jealous, crazy or whatever else the sociopath accuses you of. Rather than hearing your concerns and talking about them, the sociopath will try to make you feel insecure. They truly believe that the problem never lies within themselves.
2. You don’t understand me
Gaslighting is a tool both sociopaths and narcissists often use to make a person who accused them feel guilty for accusing them like that ‘with no reason’. So, should you find yourself feeling bad about the things he or she does, try not to talk about them because at the end of the day it will all become your fault. They will use this tactic to appear innocent but you should know you are not looking at their real face.
3. You are too sensitive
They know your weak spots and gauge at them to see how much they can get away with. They hurl criticism and insults at you and belittle you until you eventually fall apart. And when you finally do, they accuse you of being overly sensitive. They turn the reactions they created against you because they seek to manipulate and make you appear insane.
4. Don’t be so dramatic
You are upset, but your pleas fall on deaf ears. They instantly dismiss your emotions by saying they are invalid. You are reading too much into it or being overly dramatic. You may have a very concise and logical argument, but the narcissist will push you down and make you question your self-worth. It doesn’t take long for you to start wondering whether your feelings and ideas are actually sensible and valid.
5. You are reading too much into it
Of course, we all sometimes dig too deep into things and when that happens we often think about things that are never truly there. Everyone is vulnerable at times.
Sociopaths will often try to irritate and prove you wrong in order to make you question your own intentions. They do all this with only one thing mind, and that is to make you feel insecure and crazy.
6. You would never survive without me
As soon as you start deconstructing the sociopath, their baser form of manipulation will become exposed. What they want with you is not a healthy relationship but control over you. Do not let them get their way. You can surely survive without them. Assuming you want to sleep better, stress less, and feel happy without having to take drugs or anything like that…
