And push them they do. I know from experience that anyone... anyone at all, no matter how educated or intelligent... can fall for it, and be gulled into counterproductive actions. Learn to recognize the tricks and don't fall for them. <br /><br />They also construct for themselves an imaginary universe in which everything they say is true... for them. They can't be budged from it, even if they're contradicted by unavoidable, documented facts. We see this as blatant lying, but they don't. What they say is true because they want it to be true, even though they may perfectly well be aware that the facts contradict them, and everyone else perceives it to be a lie. They can even be forced to admit that it's a lie, but in their heart of hearts they believe it is not, and they will return to the lie again and again. They believe facts are a conspiracy against them constructed by others.<br /><br />The choosing and victimizing of someone is a kind of mental construct, a game if you will, for lack of a better name for it. The game is what is important, not the outcome. They don't care if they win or lose, because their purpose is to continue the game, until they're frightened out of it, or they lose interest, or they acquire another, more interesting target.<br /><br />Sane, rational people simply can't comprehend this kind of mind, or find normal reasons for this kind of behavior. I certainly don't grasp all of it, but I know the signs, and I know the existential damage it can do. Needless to say, I'm a survivor, and I wasn't even the main victim of my own experience.RebeccaHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15113907852048577121noreply@blogger.com
