Why it’s so hard to warn people about sociopaths

We may know that a friend, relative or acquaintance is involved with a sociopath. Maybe we recognize the red flags. Or maybe we, ourselves, had a relationship the same person. But when we try to warn them, they don’t listen.

You are so right. Lack of awareness gives sociopaths power incognito. This should be taught in high schools. By the time people get to the college level, there are even more sociopaths in their lives on campuses. Its a public health hazard. Thank you so much for your videos.

Note: The sociopath will slander us to others, and call us the sociopath, so I would hope people didn't just believe a tall tale. Discernment is needed. Peace. ✌

They just rewrite history if you dump them they tell everyone they dumped you

Excellent advice. I've talked to his other prey, there are many, some listen, some ignore, some dismiss, some turned on him but then turned on me when he lied and manipulated them. I also bore the brunt of his wrath when they confronted him with what I had said. I believe your advice to warn them is important, but I'm torn and withhold from telling others now. I'm so glad I was warned and told of his actions by a group of 4 other women, which then led to more women approaching me. He is so manipulative though it got very messy being friends with these women and led to a lot of heart ache and cruelty from him. People get so attached to the narc and are aware of the lies, manipulation and cheating but can't seem to pull away, myself included. If you are going to warn people about them make sure you have totally broken the bond and are no longer in contact with the narcissist. And be prepared to be discarded and looked upon like a disgruntled nobody or crazy ex by some of the people you try to help.

For the one who had the question who lives in a small town stay no contact he is trying to get you back because he has not found new supply yet

I could be wrong but you would probably get more views and cast a broader net if you included the word narcissist in your titles. ijs

Ha Ha, said he cheated. So bizarre, love bomb and money bombed.

Do sociopaths only exploit for money? Or can you know them just by their lies?
