Sociopath Cancer Problems

Hey there,

I have had a friend since we were very very young and grew up together. We were good friends until the end of highschool when he started to become very sociopathic and manipulative. It got to me so bad I just had to cut him out my life. Since then, he's done his best to sully my name and has been backstabbing and hopping sides to always look like the good-guy.

Anyone have an explanation for this guys behaviour?

Sounds possessive and something must've triggered it.

The manipulative behaviour is most likely stemming from some other unspoken issues that you haven't noticed and hasn't been communicated

As for the bad mouthing he's hurt that you've cut him off and playing victim, so pathetic. You should just keep your distance he sounds very immature.

You "betrayed" him, would be the first thing to come in mind.

You wouldn't happen to know anything about that... would you?

In all honesty, I really don't see how I could've. The only thing I could put my finger on is it being I had commitments I had to fulfil before I gave any heed to him. But this has been his nature for a long time. He has manipulated others and very much has a spoiled attitude. He had a crush on this girl, a fellow Pisces like myself, and she didn't reciprocate his feeling so he threw a tantrum.

I've just come to accept this is the way he is and I don't want that in my life anymore.

I have been keeping my distance. He tried to manipulate my best friend, who has Aspergers, and when me and my friend had an argument, he twisted it and showed it to the school.

But then again, He has been known in the past to barter peoples secrets to make himself more likeable, and I have to say, I ain't seen many other people doing the same as him.

People are silly to confide in him if he has a reputation of being untrustworthy but you should defend your friend with Asperger if he's not able to.

Usually the truth is always exposed so let it play out as long as you're not doing anything shady you'll be fine, don't backchat just ride out the wave. Karma always catches up to to people good or bad.
