Sociopaths are like those automated systems we all have to deal with. Be it calling the bank, cell phone provider, a store of any kind, your doctor’s office and so on. You know what I’m talking about. Here is how the Sociopath is no different than an automated system. The Sociopath response will be in italics.
Why did you just lie about that? please press one for English.
Why can you not answer that question truthfully? I need to transfer you to a different department……
How can you be so cold and cruel? i’m sorry i need to close that account…..
how do you justify abusing me? i’m sorry, your account is over-drawn…..
why can’t you take accountability that you are causing these problems? to return to the main menu, press one…….
has anything i said or did register with you? i‘m sorry, can you repeat that question…..
How could you just walk away so easily? to start over, press the * star key……
It is so frustrating when dealing with a Narcissistic Sociopath. You are constantly trying to ‘reach’ them, deep inside, figure out why they are the way they are. Just like the frustration when dealing with automated systems’s and trying to reach a ‘human’ instead of pressing buttons. A Sociopath can be the same way. You can press ‘buttons’ and get that ‘live human’ but often times they turn into anger raging lunatics, or act as though they have temporary {selective amnesia}. Or the typical Sociopath will blame shift back onto you. You also find that anything you say really has no bearing as the Sociopath knows everything. Rules, divorce papers, boundaries are simply not in place for them. But you had best follow them. Can we say self righteous? You can continue to press buttons and hope you will get through to the Sociopath, but the reality is…..you never will.
I poured everything i had into you, and you were still empty

One Response to “Automated Human”
Kate, thanks for your note, my head is held high again. Last friday’s nonsense and the aftermath was a huge blow but I haven’t spent 4 years fighting for my life for nothing. Whilst the blows are still shocking, my ability to get back up again is still in tact and I am getting better at it. I will say it again, knowing that it is not me/us, it is them and they are all the same type who say and do the same terrible things really helps. Love to you all who know what this feels like and may we all have the strength to get back up and enjoy life. X
