Smooth Manipulators

They always have these smug eyes that say "I've got everyone and everything playing out exactly as I wanted!" 😏

Never expect a narcissist to admit they did something wrong, it’s deeply disrespectful in their culture.

You will know this when you see it. The second you begin setting boundaries and cutting off access to those who have only ever benefited from taking advantage of you, they'll start with their guilt-tripping maneuvers, trying to appeal to some perceived weakness through your feelings.

You don't have to feel sorry for them. Don't give in to their manipulation tactics. They do not control you.

I noticed about Sherlock that he always tries to keep his promises and is obsessive about keeping them (only times he doesnt keep them when external factors make it impossible like Mary getting shot by Vivian not his fault)

He only makes promises when he can really keep them. Like on the plane when Mycroft asks him to stay clean he doesnt promise it. He only promises when he 100% intends to keep that promise. He knows he cant 100% stay clean, as an addict you can never really do that promise because relapses can happen. I love that about him. He takes promises literal (is that an autism thing?) I take promises also very literal, if i promise something i keep it, and i only make promises that im able to keep, because the word promise really means something to me. Its like a bound contract.

To so many people its just an empty phrase, a lie. So many people made "promises" to me just to do the exact opposite, lying to me. I hate that so much. So many people are just manipulative liars. Promises mean nothing to them except a tool to manipulate and abuse.
