It's really difficult.. I wouldn't call them psychopaths but, two people manipulated me and really fucked with my head, for me it was impossible to win. They have an amazing way to get people on their side, and sometimes even get YOU on their side briefly, they make you question yourself. Stay strong to yourself and try to get as far away from him as you possibly can.
yeah that is what he is doing right now... he's using everything that i ever said to him and to other people against me... he's pulling everybody's strings (even me sometimes) he is turning people against me and he have been trying to manipulate people to make me believe what he wants me to believe (about myself and about other people)... and what he wants other people to believe about me... good thing he is not that smart and flawless in what he does, so i am able to catch the inconsistencies of everything that he is doing and saying and when he is lying and i have evidence... (i haven't deleted almost all of our conversations and when i read it, the inconsistency shows) but i do regret one time that he exposed himself to me (it was just the two of us and i was not able to record what he said when my instincts at that time said that i should have used my phone to record it..) that time i still thought he was a good guy...

has anybody encountered a psychopath? how do you beat them? i've met a psychopath and he is targeting me... he already spread false rumors about me and he is also manipulating situations and people behind my back to set me up. i want to win against this guy.
The best way to win is to show him u are unbothered and live ur life happily! Whatever he's doing, he's doing it to piss u off and get under ur skins. Sho him it's not working at all and eventually he'll find someone else to take his wrath out on

what he also does is that when i do/say something (about him/a criticism about him) he "counter-attacks" by saying/using the same exact criticism i have of him to me 🙂) he just shoots it back exactly what i say to me 🙂) and the way he says it is he is trying to convince me of it 🙂) the funny thing about that is that i am not him and i am pristine 🙂) i don't have a bad record not even once 🙂) (and i did that deliberately..i intentionally made sure that i don't have a bad record...) so i can easily defend myself 🙂) but he just continues to attack 🙂) i'm getting used to it sometimes because thankfully he is consistent in what he does 🙂

By ignoring him
Precisely.

A psychopath is the more dangerous version of the narcissist.

While the narcissist is very caustic toward your character, money and emotions, the psychopath will take things further by destroying your personal property and even killing people.

The best thing you can do is keep the hell away from these types of people, and to even file a restraining order if you feel it is necessary to protect yourself.

I can assure you there are far worse fates than death.

and not everyone is in the position to remove the person from their life.

Also from you posted it sounds like he is just mirroring you-

Instead of being negative, and critical- be positive, and encouraging..

Give it some time and see where it goes.




Edit:

Atm is this just with friends, or has it branched out to family members?

thanks.. yeah he is mirroring me (both negative and positive) i noticed that he is also copying me (my positive traits)... and he actually branched out to literal strangers like if my friend will have a new friend he already intercepts the new friend about me (i think... i don't have concrete evidence for this but what i noticed is that my friend's new friend was nice to me the 1st time we met and then the next time me and the new friend meet again when he is there the new friend suddenly changed his/her attitude about me) but at least i have an idea of what is going on... i thank god for that... when he was doing it initially i wasn't aware of it... i just become aware of what he is doing just recently (when i noticed a pattern from him and from other people) again i am thankful that he is also consistent.

Whether or not these statements by the OP are accurate-

Doesn't dismiss that this is how they feel.

Continue being positive and supportive towards this person- Make sure others see it. Don't talk negatively of this person to anyone.

Even if they manipulate events, or your words- In an attempt to segregate you from these friends, eventually it will catch up with them, and become very transparent to the collective group.

This sort of thing is incredibly common in social circles, only takes a matter of months before weeding out the individual.

Now- if this person makes efforts to get close to a family member, or it begins to affect your home life.

That is when you take action.

For right now tho- Meh.

Don't do or say anything, that will put you in a negative light.
