Please tell me how you scared this guy. I really wanna know.😁
I’m the only person he has told he’s a sociopath. He made me swear that I would never tell anyone what he said or that we had sex or that I would talk about it online with him (or put it in writing in general).
But you see, I keep a diary. And it’s a rather detailed one. He didn’t know that (he also doesn’t know that the very first thing I did after he left my flat was betray his secret).
The other day I had asked him how I knew he had told me the truth. His answer had been: “you don’t 🙂”. He says a LOT of things like that to me, and tries to play me.So of course I was looking to turn the tables. He also doesn’t reply to my messages unless I pique his interest or I accuse him of something (narcissist - and like Aro, is obsessed with keeping a certain image of him in other people’s heads). So I sent him on Friday night:“I can’t believe you even asked me to agree to something. You believed me when I said I was trustworthy. 🙂 Flattered.”It worked. Instead of replying a week later, he answered immediately: “why this?” Then messaged me first yesterday afternoon!
I said later in the convo: “I’m going to be honest with you here. I have a diary.” (For context I simplify my language when talking to him because English is his FOURTH language)He said: “you shouldn’t”“It helps”“It’s compromising AND childish as I see it”“Lol why”“Because all the 14 year olds from American hs films do that”“You shouldn’t base your worldview on films” (he does, it’s how he gets tips to manipulate people/use body language)“Are you a 14 year old cheerleader or a 20 y/o woman?”“Neither, I’m 21.” I died of laughter there tbh“Even worse… now you scare me”“Hahaha why”“Because maybe I don’t wanna be part of it cuz I like to keep my privacy by not making I do or say to someone on a piece of paper.”“What makes you think you’re special enough to be in it?”“You wouldn’t speak about it in this chat if I wasn’t in it”“Wouldn’t I?”“Yeah”“How would you know if I had a diary?”“You told me”“You trust me?”“That’s not even relevant. Even if I don’t, that kind of declaration would annoy me by the possibility of it being truth”“Remember when I asked you if you told me the truth and you said I’ll never know? I can say the same to you. Now I scare you”“Makes me perplex.”“I’m just messing with you. What would you do if I actually had one?”“Nothing. Just be more careful about what I say and how I say it when we speak etc. And I’m probably going to do it anyway now I’m not sure if I can trust you on that… because ‘I’m just messing with you’ is the answer you would type if you were serious about the diary, after seeing how I reacted.”“🙄. Mate I told you everything about me, you have that, so I’m not going to betray you like you could me. I made special care not to include you in the diary after you said we should not put what we said in writing. I’m not stupid, and I don’t want you to hate me.”His response was lighter. “I’m just naturally suspicious 😉”“Yes same I feel you. I’m most suspicious of you really 😛 but for some reason I feel inclined to trust you. A bit 😉”“Hmm”“Seriously you’ve been in 3 of my dreams 😂. We should talk in person”“Next month.”“Well yes, when we’re in the same country. I like you a lot, you’re interesting and good to talk to. And not predictable like my other friends 🙂”“I’m different 😛”“Obviously 😛”
All the lies and the tricks you see me pulling here are what he’s been doing to me. And he’s done worse in person! Note how his tone changed after he got scared, started using the emojis - he only uses emojis as part of his façade. I really got to him. And the mere fact that he was replying immediately shows that he was worried. But he does trust me irl. And I guess I trust him with my secret. Though he is going to want to find out if the diary is real, and possibly destroy it if he finds it. So we’ll be talking much more from now on. Which was my goal.
But. We are friends and we do get along and our chat after this was normal and included class work, exams, etc. We’re going to meet up on the 8th hopefully.
