Language and communication are the frontline secret weapon of the narcissist and the psychopath.

With it, they can systematically disarm the unwary, create a backdoor into their target’s mind to manipulate them without their consent and create a shared fantasy that you both share, unseen from the rest of the world.

Why Do They Argue The Way That They Do?

Communication is the adored plaything of the dark triad; they can manipulate, create distractions, assume control, and make others submit to their command with just their words.

There is no need for violence, verbal threats, or aggression. Language is all they need to trap their victims. But surely there must be a way to counteract these attacks?

There is, and one of the most significant attacks that is very widely used among psychopaths and narcissists is deflection.

This can be onto people or other causes perceived to be worse than what they are being accused of such as global warming, wars, or current events.
