Forms of deceit

[Enjoy The DeclineParticipant 1719]

Throughout my life, I picked up many ways that people have deceived me in a way. For people who do not know what the word deceit is, well here is the meaning of it: “the action or practice of deceiving someone by concealing or misrepresenting the truth”. Now here is some forms of deceit that I picked up in my life and I hope some people can do the same in giving their forms of deceit that they know of:

There would be this girl who would warn you that that other girl is this sort of person, when the reality is that even though she is right, the very person who warned you about that other girl herself is that sort of way as well. The reason why she would tell you this is because she would play on the fact that you would not expect someone to warn you that someone else is that way when the person who is warning you is the same way. That is where the deceit comes in because she would misrepresent herself that she is actually the opposite of who she is accusing, but that in itself is not true.

Some people would criticize the other person to you when the same criticism can be applied to you. For instance, if the she says that that person is a lazy a** and she would also think that you are a lazy a** but would not say it. The whole point of this deceit though is that she would only do this because if you criticize that person too for being a lazy a**, in the eyes of the person you are talking with, you are also criticizing yourself since you are not any better. The girl who already deceived you into doing this would then handle you as she would see fit.

Sometimes, a girl would say something about you to you that is very outrageous and might not be even true to you. You would later be at the defensive and then you would explain more than you have to in explaining yourself why this is not even true. As soon as you start saying more than you have to without even realizing that it is just a scheme to get information from you, these people that deceived just did their job. This sort of scheme only really works towards you if you already think that the person lost his or her sense of reality and you already think that the person is ignorant(which even offends you) which adds on to your defensiveness to try to explain yourself to prove him or her wrong.

One more thing I would like to add. If you do not even know what the word “deceit” means, you are going to be in a big world of hurt because there is a world out there where people deceit and scheme all the time and it is up to you to be aware of the red flags more. Can anyone bring up other forms of deceit that might enlighten us all?

Oh no, I actually read it yesterday and bookmarked it to get back on it later. I was looking for this: 60% of brides use dirty tricks to make a wedding happen.

And how many brides use tricks to get pregnant (again)?

Women are mistresses of deceit. They rely on it HEAVILY – and encourage it among each other. They actually sell positive pregnancy tests online (google that) to try and keep a man around for the holidays. That’s how a woman says “merry christmas” while you’re expected to give her a piece of jewelry for that.

This paragraph stuck out the most, and I can definitely attest to that.

This is why I would never even answer a woman’s question directly.

But to your observation, a woman might say “I heard that about you”… and then sit back with her arms folded expecting you to run around in circles to explain it away.

“You’re funny.”

Now she’s stuck.

Sometimes there is very little to add. Don’t be put off by few replies. Sometimes someone posts a video and I will watch it (or not fully), but I don’t have anything to add to it.

“It is what it is”. I don’t like that expression most of the time, but I say it to mean it stands on it’s own. Sometime all you can do is nod.

“GAS LIGHTING” is a big one. I learned the meaning of it a while back, and EVERY man needs to be aware of it. It is the go-to method of the sociopath and an important form of deceit and manipulation.

It’s an old film with Ingrid Bergman, where the gaslight was turned down and the “victim” knows it. The manipulator tells the victim “it’s all in your head and you’re imagining it”. It’s a tactical form of deceit to get you to question your own sanity and awareness.

I noticed this from a VERY good friend of mine – and he’s not even female – and any psychologist can tell you “sociopathic” tendencies used to be a predominently a MALE trait. But not any more.

It took me 4 years to be aware of what he was doing and he’s the reason I looked it up! He would tell me that my recollection of an event was wrong, that my memory was flawed. And then I called him out on it. I don’t associate with him anymore.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Yes, I read up about gas lighting when I read up on a book on sociopaths. Was reminded again about gas lighting when you brought it up. I can imagine that the person going through it all is trying to gasp of what’s left of his sanity out of desperation.

I read this book a few months ago. I recommend that people here should read it and it is not like it is over 300 pages or anything so it should be a short read.

1 in 25? They are being generous. Let’s just leave it at that.

Sometimes deceivers will cheat on you, and then accuse you of cheating.

For various reasons: their cheating may make them paranoid and make them project onto you THEIR lack of character. Or it may make them feel better if they think you are also cheating.

All my life I've had doubts about who I am, where I belonged. Now I'm like the arrow that springs from the bow. No hesitation, no doubts. The path is clear. And what are you? Alive. Everything else is negotiable. Women have rights; men have responsibilities; MGTOW have freedom. Marriage is for chumps. If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart-R'as al Ghul.
