How Sociopathic Narcissists Set You Up For Hurt

Narcissists are difficult to interact with due to their controlling, entitled ways, but when they also have strong sociopathic tendencies, their dysfunction goes to an even higher level. Dr. Les Carter explains how sociopaths not only disregard you, but also societal norms in general. It is essential to understand how they think and operate so you can avoid the hurt they generate.

This kind of person doesn't just hurt you, they relish the complete destruction of your life. They laugh at your isolation and pain.

[MrsNsf]

They can't hurt you when you have figured them out. They are so predictable

[meowu]

A sociopath's idea of right and wrong, if he or she has one, can be summed up as follows: Right is what I want at the moment and wrong is when someone tells me no.

“There is simply no winning with a narcissist. He will treat you so horribly that you will become withdrawn and depressed and then he will turn around and say, ‘You’re no fun anymore, you’re always so depressed. I need to be with someone more positive.’” — Susan Williams

We need a twelve-step program for people who have been abused by narcissists.

"The smartest thing you can do is look for the exit" <-- absolutely!!

One thing I regret is not listening to my inner alert system. I knew there were red flags and hints of the relationship being unhealthy but I chose to ignore them and they gradually became worse and worse. His last text was extremely hurtful and full of hate. I’d never experienced someone who just was that downright mean and could never be accountable for his actions and was constant lying even about small as well as big things. My advice is to get out early and don’t ignore those hints of intuition you get about the person.

“Revenge over Reconciliation.” Is very true. Please pray for those who are being run into the ground by these sociopathic narcissists.

[gomezombies]

They even hurt their children ! They don't support them, help them just use them ...make them have a harder life ...pure evil

narcissists and sociopaths are seldom lone wolfs
they are organizing

[JHixon-biok]

Narcopaths are also greedy. They want what you have. They will take what belongs to you. They withhold what they owe to you.

This is what I have been dealing with. It’s like trying to treat a rattlesnake like it’s your dog or cats. It’s in the house just ready to strike, you have to be on guard and never ever forget it a snake Not a poor snake it’s a rattlesnake! God Bless us all with this wisdom from Dr Carter

That’s my brother. A bully, mocking, passive aggressive, entitled, secretive, cheating, lying, disrespectful, anger that can turn into harm for others, and a smirk that makes me want to wipe it off but I can’t without going to his level. His presence is like sitting close to a black hole.

[JessicaJLandi]

Narcissists fabricate offenses of which to accuse you. Strong boundaries such as no contact are healthy when it comes to such toxic people.

[irishelinac]

What we don't know yet is that the whole humanity is going to be that way. There will be mostly narcissistic sociopaths as human beings. It spreads really fast as a soul disease, a spiritual pandemic ! So stay strong if you are immune to that and protect yourself as much as you can because you are among the last ones remaining. I know, I sound dramatic and maybe crazy, but the situation is truly dramatic, time will unveil it.

[danarchambault]

I figured out how to deal with narcissists, move far away and have no contact, done

“When a toxic person can no longer control you, they will try to control how others see you. The misinformation will feel unfair, but you stay above it, trusting that other people will eventually see the truth just like you did.” – Jill Blakeway

"They will create pain and hurt you."


Words to the wise....

Gosh, it’s just so scary when the mask drops or when they start to see you as the enemy. They can be so dangerous.

[GLeon-ovyu]

Once a former boyfriend, lover, husband looses control we turn into enemy number one. He did everything possible to destroy my life.
