Disordered individuals with Cluster B disorders like narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), anti-social personality disorder (sociopaths), psychopaths, and borderlines (BPD) all have overlapping characteristics that define their illness and serve as red flags to mark their mental impairment. If you are involved with one of them, I am sure you have witnessed these 4 manipulations. If you are just trying to figure it all out, watch for these. All of them do it like they all have the same playbook and follow it to the letter. When you see these manifestations of their illness, beware! They are warning signs that need to be noticed and interpreted.
