      Sacha Slone wait! I’m an empath but, I know weird words and junk because, my dad threw the tv out cos it was immoral lol! So I had only books, and when I’d read all the books in the house, (and the ones I’d borrowed from the library that week) I was basically left with the dictionary. I didn’t enjoy that much though but, some of the words are still in my head. That said I don’t use them in conversation, or a daily basis, it’s handy for quizzes tho!🤣🤣

      @SachaSlone  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It's not about the words, it's about the fact that the other person is trying to game you via emotional manipulation --using language. The "weird word example" is just *one small* example of how a sociopath uses language to manipulate our emotional well-being. // If your intent is *not to manipulate* then this specific example would not apply to everyday direct honest communication! Does that make more sense?

      Since you said you have read a lot, I have a quick question about vocabulary: every once in a while I will use an advanced vocab term that I can't remember ever using before and I can never remember where I've heard/read the word before, but I know the word. It's like my brain has a bunch of vocab stored away in my unconscious mind and every once in a while the word will surface! It is SO bizarre when that happens. Does that ever happen to you?

      Sacha Slone yes, all the time! I think I described someone as an old tarter once. My friend was like “Where the hells that word come from?.” Me “ I literally don’t know, I know it was appropriate to the conversation tho” her “ yeah I know your bright, tell me what it is” “ it’s a nasty, evil, bitter old woman type thing, you know takes no prisoners,” her “ I’m looking that up when we get home to mine” 🤣🤣

      @@mobwatch8119 Most sociopaths have some level of narcissism. One thing you can do (while maintaining relative anonymity) is to take away anything that fuels into their grandiose self image. All you really have to do is act slightly less impressed and watch the magic happen. Your alibis being, “it’s just what I expect from you.” This gives the illusion that you’re rooting for them while they tear themselves in two, constantly trying to outperform their previous endeavors. This is just one of many many ways and keeps you safe for the most part.*

    A lot of sociopaths actually DO know the definitions of the words they use, furthermore, these plans that are discussed rely on absolute control of the conversation and near flawless execution of the plan. If a sociopath were to catch on at almost any point during the implementation of the plan, they could easily turn the tables by making you look like a snob concerned with correcting other peoples vocabulary. Try and remember, while sociopaths have diluted emotions, they're not a computer program you just beat with a thought out plan. they adapt to the situation and find workarounds to either play the power player and make themselves look smart while demeaning you, or play the victim and make you look like an asshole.

      i think i have valuble input here considering im a sociopath.not self proclaimed but diagnosed with antisocial personality and intermettentexplessive disorders since i was in juvanile hall hall and i can tell you that i dont think this video is properly titled because i dont think what shes describing is a sociopath perse rather someone more ike my uncle who does just what shes saying and he does from being insecure about his intelligence you can say "oh nick how can you just assume he feel inadequate" if your taking my word for one thing than take it for this to.and actually i enjoy vocabulary words i ferverently studied them with much zeal during my incarceration and even in school or at home ive made rap music with my older brother since i was a child and had a flare for mixing complicated words and double entendres, but refrain from using them in conversation because if you have noticed people with genius level iq talk equally to you and make things easy to interpret while my uncle compensates and does enjoy that feeling over mental dominance, but if you dont feel as dumb as their trying to make you feel, id say just speak your mind dont falter to much and keep your wits about you. oh and that comment about us not being artistic or creative? my lady what we do everyday is art in it of its self.

    What I like about the counter manipulation strategies you recommend is that you are taking back your power; you are gaining control of the situation. With people like that you have to play "the game" and look at them with detached curiosity. It can even be fun when you don't take them so seriously. That was our mistake in the first place, taking these clowns seriously and in the scheme of things they're no more important than you or me. You're letting them know you're not taken in by them in the least (your knees aren't turning to jelly and you aren't shaking in your boots). I can imagine the jaw drop effect of your acquaintance, lol! Wish I could have been there. Absolutely brilliant, Sacha! These narcopaths love to flash their brains. Btw, I don't mind being around a really learned person just so long as they aren't condescending me. We don't have malicious intent (like they do), therefore these counter manipulation techniques are great!! Thank you.

    As a sociopath, I have to say that some (like myself) don't try to manipulate people. I never saw myself as a good person (Even in my childhood.), but I did know that if I tried hard enough I could be. I worked hard to to be an individual deserving of trust, and you are fueling a very dangerous stigma around people like me- who have no control of the disorder they were diagnosed with.

      *Pertaining to the correction of language used by S-paths. Also, I mean this in all good fun, do let me know if I’m crossing a line. Side note, I have “high functioning ASD” so… one letter off amirite?😏 jk again. Please though, if you deem it necessary roast my autism. Not only would it be justified, I guarantee (if it’s good) I’ll laugh. Much love and I hope the stigma wears away. Anyone can at least follow the ‘norms’ and ’be good’. It’s convenient if nothing else. Not everyone (yes, even with a diagnosed deficit in their capacity for empathy) can be evil. Personally, I don’t think it’d be their best interest 😉😉

I found your video last night on changing your name to change your life as a alternative to suicide, been beaten down for over a year now, the first year was heaven, but once he had me everything changed. Thank you so much for these videos. Watching and listening has got me grounded and I really needed it. Thank you thank you

    Hi
    I'm not sure of your qualifications or prior experiences with a true psychopath, sociopath or a person with narcissistic or similar personality disorders. But my experience of a boss with all those traits is stay away. Get space distance and time. They are deadly, you will end up harming yourself to end it.
    In my workplace scenario, I was worn down by 3 years of manipulation, bullying, intimidation, threats and I thought I was on top of the situation.
    Then one day I just broke, couldn't play the game anymore.
    It was such a gradual process with sporadic episodes of attacks followed by praise, that you had no idea if you were going to be patted or stabbed in the back. A deliberate ploy to create Anxiety and self doubt.
    The problem with this type of person is that they don't hunt alone! Because they believe so strongly in themselves, they usually have mentored others around them as a buffer, or if you like the people that pull the trigger after they have loaded the gun. These support people are also the legacy that these type of people feel they need to leave in their wake.
    I have spent the last 3 years with PTSD trying to recover from my experiences and the friends and Colleagues I watched being systematically destroyed. My boss was so good at it that (he was a principal) that he even managed to manipulate his way through all complaints against him that were registered at a higher level for twenty years. It has gone past a Departmental level into a formal investigation against the Department, and to the next level again, to an ombudsman.
    I have fought solidly for nearly 3 years to get this far. I have been utterly destroyed, I have made attempts to take my own life because of the depth of depression I suffer, the Anxiety has left me all but house bound, I self harm, numerous ways and my family has to see this.
    My advice is get out, don't play games with these people, it will only encourage more focus on yourself.
    If it's your boss, don't bother being a whistleblower as no one will back you or fight beside you.
    I was part of the school's leadership team, year level coordinator (preparatory year), OH&S coordinator, First Aid coordinator, involved in the IT committee, Maths committee, a school council member and fixed most of the smaller handyman jobs around the school.
    Even with all of these qualifications and extra curricular roles I was hunted. Then when I did not turn up to work the parents were led to believe I was terminally ill and was not expected back.
    At a party with someone who's to big for their britches, your tactic may be something you could do, but I would have to question your motives and psychological reasons for acting that way instead of steering clear of the idiot.
    I believe that some of your advice is extremely dangerous and is encouraging people to play a game against a person that has no empathy or regard for anyone! And you want to embarrass them?
    As a teacher I have seen children as young as 7 that have shown psycho/sociopathic tendencies and from very good supportive families who have concerns themselves. I therefore believe in that it is possible that these people are born with these principles and therefore have many years of experience in doing what they do. They are better at it than you! If you do manage to show them up then they will seek revenge.
    Embarrassing people full stop is enough reason for most people to at least be agitated, yet alone dancing with the devil!
    They have no moral boundaries, no feelings for you, and only care about themselves. Your encouraging people to play Russian Roulette.

    She's actually describing a cerebral narcissist. It's not the same thing, but they are very similar.
    There's no point in wrestling around in the mud with them like you're a pig yourself, and if hurting them is really the goal, then indifference is the most powerful weapon. Just act like you're bored and they don't matter. It's really the only psychological self-defense that there is with them.

    I love how she even addresses the main issue herself. She says in the description that you should redirect sociopaths with "non-stop interruptions and non-stop annoying questions." Just because someone uses big words doesn't mean that they deserve to be emotionally assaulted and taunted. I have a vastly expansive vocabulary, so therefore I must be interrupted by someone who thinks that I am abusing them. If anyone is being is emotionally manipulating, it is you, ma'am. Also, if you could be a little less passive-aggressive, yeah, that would be great.

    This is completely unrealistic for most people, they just don't want to act like a total weirdo, not to mention that this is a pretty cartoony view of psychopaths, or that most people using difficult words most likely aren't psychopaths at all. So in effect you'll act like a weirdo while antagonizing a non-psychopath while the actual psychopath is the seemingly ordinary person by your side that you don't suspect at all. It's true that psychopaths crave superiority, but they’re also keenly aware of the need for secrecy from a young age, so they learn how to act normally. Any description of psychopaths that basically says they have horns and wear black hats is false. You can't actually tell that easily, and thinking you can will make you more vulnerable. "But he seemed so normal" is more likely the case.

I still cant explain what he did and how he done it but it psychological fucked me up. He made me lose all the important people in my life, he made me out as the manipulative one. Ever since I've not talked to people really, I just feel disconnected from the world ever since I'm not numb but I dont feel exactly. I remember he tried to scare and intimidate me, he told me if I didnt go to bed he would smash a vodka bottle, I told him too go for it and I wasnt scared, he smashed the bottle and just stared at me. He never done anything, it was all threats like he was trying to make me smaller and scared and listen to him but I wasnt, at the same time I had alot of doubt but I wasnt letting him see how he was braking me. He really broke me.

    I appreciate your perspective. I'm wondering though, in a social setting, most people want to feel comfortable and avoid awkward situations at all costs. Don't you think this could backfire and cause yourself to be alienated from those witnessing the perceived confrontation? I realize this is effective, but I also think your own counter actions might intimidate others. It may cause concern of how you will react to something they discuss, yes? Of course, it would be due to the fact that they don't understand the purpose behind your actions and the intended sociopath. Thoughts?

    • @SachaSlone

      Ok, well keep on keeping on. Hopefully your videos help someone in one of these situations. It seems like you have a decent amount of personal experience in dealing with sociopaths and narcissists. I hope that doesnt effect you too harshly. Its dangerous even being exposed to people like that for any extended amount of time, both emotionally and unfortunately physically. It takes a certain type of person with a great deal of mental fortitude and knowledge to safely interact with socio/psycho/narc personalities on a regular basis. I hope that isnt the case for you. Speaking from personal experience, emotional manipulation is the toughest aspect for myself and most others to cope with. The mind is the most powerful tool humanity has in its toolbox and to me is the most important scientific frontier we can explore. Encourage yourself and others to never take it for granted, especially when some minds are so warped and twisted with the aforementioned disorders. Just be extremely cautious and mindful in meting out advice in dealing with individuals who take great pleasure in said forms of manipulation. Ill step off my soapbox now. I apologize for the length of this comment but it seemed the only course of action open to me.

  • @ARedMagicMarker
    @ARedMagicMarker 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Number one way of not getting involved with a socio? Ignore. I'm very good at sousing these people out, mostly because they have a greasy, cold, prickling feelings about them with dull, spacy eyes to boot. Not only will it drive most of them completely bonkers, it could be the one thing to reveal themselves. Once they start into a rage, they can't seem to stop, and it truly is a sight to behold, but still remain calm. Number two...don't believe a single gotdang thing that comes out of their mouths. Not a thing. The value of their words are as good as that automated voice at the checkout-machine at a WalMart.
    Thirdly, if you can, find a way to get away, and lastly, if you can't, and you start to feel an attack coming on, well, do what you got to do to make it go away. Lastly, never, ever lose your cool. Ever. I've had a lifetime to practice this, but some may find it a challenge. Once you view the socio as a spectacle freak of nature and you the observer, it might help you a bit.
    Besides, I've had enough practice with some suspect ones. You just need to be witty and know how to counter their games, because they all run off of the same hardware at the end of the day. One thing I notice about most socios, they will skillfully try and set up instances where you "have" to follow their "rules." Most of the time, it starts off ever so small, but it's noticeable, and sometimes even in the form of a favor, but look out for a commanding, or forced-sweet undertone.
    For a small example, I used to work at an office that had gates that worked on a turn-style system and was activated with a card code. One girl, obvious socio from the jump I was ignoring, and she knew it, thought it would be a perfect opportunity to "command" me to punch in my key first, because the in and out line was going in order. Trouble was, she was supposed to be the one to go through the door first, but she wanted to prove a point (in front of everyone in that line). When I refused, she was getting redder and redder in the face, and took to literally barking orders at me to pass though. It didn't matter that she was holding up the line, those dull little eyes were dead-set on me following her commands. Then, one of the wooden doors beside the electric door opened, I asked the woman nicely to hold the regular door open for me when I went through, and she did. The look on the other's woman's face spelled out that not only did she want to strangle me, she was beet red and shaking from rage. As I walked further, all I could hear was animalistic screaming, and people going "wtf?" Turns out, her behavior she said was my fault. The mantra of people like this is always a "look what you made me do". THAT'S a sociopath. It's no wonder the next day she had her "posse" giving low-volume threats my way, and friends standing by the entrance watching me, spitting at me to stay in my place, and that I wasn't shit. You know, the usual. I just smiled and waved. One of them tried to follow me home, but guess who sped off when I got too close to a police station? Then came the "snitch" accusations. Of course.
    Years later, turns out that same socio freak was on the news for kidnapping and trying to "pimp out" a drugged up woman and her underaged daughter. She and her probably equally effed up boyfriend had bludgeoned both victims, for...you guessed it.....not following her orders, and the daughter victim wouldn't stop crying. Now the freak's in the slammer, and won't be able to hurt anyone on the outside anymore, she's among her own kind, seeing that prison is chock full of people like her, and I say a-goooood riddance.
    If a socio has targeted you, you have something they want, period, and if you pay attention, you can usually have a glean on what it is. Most socios may leave you alone if they feel you're not worth their time, but some do like a "challenge", because remember, they don't process things, or feel like the rest of us. They need constant entertainment, and that's not your job.
    Perhaps they may even take you as a threat, and their actions may justify the ends in their minds. I know just what to do when they play victim, try to make me look bad, or try and order me to do something in front of others to make themselves look more in control. There were at least 4 of them who knew I was ignoring them, and literally went to poke me on my back and neck. No response. They laughed at first, but you could see the rage building in those dull eyes. if you simply must communicate with these people, text, email, and document every exchange, and use short, simple words. You may need it later. Stay calm and distant. If you gotta take one of these freaks to court, same thing.
    There's always an exit strategy, and when they start their flare-ups and games, just leave them hanging. Just walk away. Or fake a phone call. If they try and bark orders at you, tell you they're "talking to you", or command you to come here like some dog, stay silent, and record them discreetly. Let the evidence add up. If they want to corner you and ask why you're not talking to them, or giving them what they want, (most likely in front of people), just be like, "I just don't think we're compatible people." Then leave. Yeah, they might mirror you, or mock you within earshot, but who cares? The moment they snap is when you click your discreet recorder, and if they wanna dance, one bullet to the brain is enough to take them down. Or a stun gun. Or a jab at the throat...everyone needs to breathe. If it's one thing these people are, it's sadistic, so playing up the scared and afraid act is enough to give them their fix and let their guard down for long enough. The more you stay silent, and the more others can see the nature of the socio, things will start to reveal themselves to even the most loyal flying monkeys out there. Why is this increasingly raging person always ragging on the silent one who's just doing his/her business? Yeah, most will feign "heartbrokenness" , turn on the theatrics, fan themselves and be all like "I just don't know what came over me...that person brings out the worst in me, I try so hard to be nice, I don't understand boo hoo", but it'll begin to add up. One day, the socio-freak's going to do something so vile and slip up, no one can ignore it, and people come back to you and ask you how you knew about the socio. It may take weeks, months, or even years, but it's going to happen. Let the socio expose themselves, or work in a way to expose them that doesn't point back to you. Once a dark triad is exposed, most either do these things: 80% just dip out, head to parts unknown to be someone else's lovely problem. 10% sulk, back out and try to put on a more civil and humble face, but it don't last long. Maybe claim to find Jebus or some crap, and the other 10% just go into pure meltdown "idgaf" mode. With which I recommend a stun gun, or calling the cops to let them know you got a crazed lunatic on the premises, which a sound recording of the demon-antics going on should back you up on.
    All sociopaths like to convince you that they are suuuch niiiiice people...until you get on their bad side. Some may even present themselves as the "loveable" azzhole. Which is vague, because "getting on their bad side" can range from you ignoring them, not giving into their antics, or not giving them something they want, you having something they want, them thinking you have something they want, or they just think you think you're better than them, or they thought you rolled your eyes, or you looked at them the wrong way. These people are just unhinged, and I just don't see them as people.
    In other words, these people are garbage. If the socio is dumb enough to trespass on your property, follow you out into the woods, or a dark alley, take out the trash. Simple. Just shut up about it, or have a damn good case of self defense, because really.....do you really think most people are actually gonna miss someone as utterly insufferable as a narc/sociopath/psychopath? Heck, I'd imagine most people would throw a party because the little toxic pill just up and magically disappeared, and lifted a weight of dread off of their shoulders. They know what they are and they know EXACTLY what they are doing, and I don't got time for NONE of it.

For instance, has a sociopath ever been flattered that you hang on their every sophisticated word, and take the time to seem extraordinarily interested in their unique speech, and vocabulary? Another scenario that comes to mind is this, has a sociopath ever been so intelligent to counter-manipulate your belittling manipulation by making you feel small by not knowing the definition of the type of words that said sociopath throws around as if they were common? Just curious, always trying to up my game :)

    You would get fucked up against a sociopath, who would immediately know you're trying to ''counter-manipulate'' them, and just because someone uses a word you don't know doesn't mean they're a sociopath. I, an actual sociopath, would destroy someone who tried doing this. as well sociopaths aren't walking up to people and being like ''hi i'm a sociopath'', we blend in, we could be anyone, a high functioning sociopath would be able to fully entrance you long before you even realise you're being used. I, myself personally, Have had these kinds of tactics used against me, and i still manipulated the shit out of them afterwards. it's about out smarting the target, not simply belittling and being a dick, so ''countering'' a sociopath will only make them want to fuck you up even more. you're going to get hurt if you use this against a real sociopath.

Step three, be condescending and don't make eye contact to mask your own uncertainty during the conversation. Step four, create a you tube video to gloat over your victory. Step five, congratulate and swell your ego for being a sociopath by self projecting your own sociopathic tendencies onto others.

    They make statements rather than converse, they do this based on an assumption others won't understand their reference. The minute you you express knowledge on the subject they shut down the conversation on the topic which they initiated. They're very shifty in withdrawal of topic the moment they release you know more. Conversation is a monologue with sociopaths, scripted, you listen whilst they speak, these conversations are bland, jailed with cliches & jargon phrases, no substance or humour.

    I like the idea of what you're trying to do, to empower people to know what to do in the event that they think they encounter somebody who is potentially a threat to them. But these disorders are on a spectrum and it's nearly impossible to detect that somebody is a sociopath from just meeting them assuming they're blending well. In my experience walking around with your guard constantly up like this is a great way to come across as an asshole when you really are just trying to defend yourself in what seems like a threatening situation. Sure you may discourage most unempathetic personality types but you're also limiting yourself exceptionally in social situations by doing so in my opinion. Again i'm not any kind of expert this is just my opinion on the topic after reading several books on the topic.

  • @HangOutwithMalorn
    @HangOutwithMalorn 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I did something like this to a friend of mine who had similar Sociopathic traits to my stepfather. He simply pulled his phone out, checked the website for the definition, read the one that I didn't read out loud and showed it to everyone else. Everyone thought I was a complete idiot and an asshole for the next week or so. Some Sociopaths may try and prove themselves if they feel like it will make their "opponent" look bad. Keep in mind that it's always about what they can gain. They can fake humility and aren't beyond making themselves look bad to make themselves look better in the long run. I guess it all depends on how experienced the Sociopath is. The smart ones gain information about you to help them get what they want and as soon as you become more trouble than you're worth, they will first use the bad things they know about you against you and then dump you on the sidewalk like you're nothing.

    I wish I'd known these strategies before. It's really unnerving when a sociopath/narc homes in on you. They have honed their predatory skills to a point where you sometimes cannot extract yourself from them in a social setting, they are that focussed on you as a target.
