How to deal with a Sociopath

1/8/2021

 
The jury is out about the exact definition of a Sociopath.  Most would agree, however, that it is like a bad smell: You know it when it is there, and it just seems to linger.  Ugh. 

No matter how reasonable you try to be, how calm your tone, how much you try and accommodate this person's wishes, they are still unreasonable, obtuse, obstructive, heartless, narcissistic, and a whole list of other things.

You deserve better, so here are five tips to manage the Sociopath - 


  1. Like a swaying tree in the wind, gently repeat your position. Bend but do not break.
  2. They will try and project their own insecurities onto you, so keep a clear vision of who you are
  3. Depersonalize everything they say; if they attack, this says more about their own sense of shame than any questions about your character
  4. Add color to their polarizing black and white thinking; life is rarely that simple
  5. Breathe deeply but keep conversations surface-level; share as little as possible 

Find out more about how to keep yourself safe and healthy in a world of chaos.  Book online today.
