Summer Off

Well, I took some time off this summer to deal with other issues. Now, back to the sociopath. I left off with idle conversation being turned into something more than just that, idle conversation. It's amazing how the simplest little nothing can be turned into the biggest fight with a sociopath, who has taken this little nothing out of context. You must remember that the sociopath does not think like or reason like the ordinary person. So you may say something that 99% of the population will get the gist or meaning of, but the sociopath will not get it at all and take some meaning that's so far out of context, you cannot explain the real meaning to them. It's amazing how this stuff sticks in their heads and how they pull it up months later to try and justify YOUR actions with. An example would be saying that you don't much care for a certain type of food, then at a restaurant 6 months later you try that food, but it's cooked a totally different way than the norm. You would be probed over and over again about saying that you didn't like that food. Now take this simple example and think of something you would say or a comment you would make to your significant other. Then be held to it by some meaning you completely don't understand, because the sociopath doesn't have a clue as to what you mean. Everyone else around you does, but not them. They cannot get their thoughts together in the same way a "normal" person can. This is so frustrating, you end up watching everything you say and do. You are always under the microscope and all the time the sociopath is justifying their actions by living in the past. There's no forward movement, regardless of what they say. So you are held to some sort of code that you cannot possibly understand.
