The sociopath uses a number of tools to manipulate.
If you spend enough time around the sociopath, his Mr Nice, Mr Helpful, and Mr Wonderful personas wear off. Once he has his slippers firmly under your table, hand in the fridge, and the warm half of your bed, a totally different character begins to appear. To cope with this, you need mental agility, for the sociopath is the master game player. And what he intends to do is play a game with your life. You will be left feeling absolutely confused.
What is deflection? Deflection takes focus away from the accusation. To use an example, if you had concerns that your partner was cheating, perhaps you have evidence that he is having an affair? You confront your partner, holding the evidence, and you are fairly sure that you now have him cornered… Or so you think!
Evidence, means little…

This is so very true. This is why you reach the point you never even want to engage or discuss anything with them!!

Absolutely true. It leaves you very confused indeed. My relationship with a sociopath left me utterly confused. There are no words to describe that state of mind and soul that I was in. It was such a mess! Thanks to resources on the internet about psychopaths/sociopaths/narcissists and their tactics, I was able to see clearly again and understand what was going on. That’s why blogs like yours are so amazing and important. I’m completely healed and fine again, it’s been years since that time.
