Experienced options - Walk into the trap on purpose, to know what trap it is and to core issues… then document. Allow the deceptive person to think the coverup is easy by allowing targeting after evidence has been gathered but don’t acknowledge the facts are in place. Secondary evidence will have others used. Columbo was popular for playing down his awareness, letting the trickers think they were free from their actions. Story drama offers insight into why the good cop bad cop worked and the options are funnelled.

The bias is the weak spot. If something is always about them, then others will be transactional, used, and mistakes will be made by creating damage… those with empathy choose not to do something; they find another way…so they won’t offer primary or secondary evidence… documenting both is key to removing via the deceptive person blameshifting away, compare recorded evidence and learn the steps in generic patterned behaviour linked to biased thinking. Why would someone keep doing something, then have ways to cover up?

Psychology Today - The Risk Factors for Continuing the Cycle of Abuse
They do not see anything wrong, detachment from a core sound belief system, its empty. The image is everything… protection of a facade or a false self-construct always has conflicting thinking patterns through not being a completely developed person. Timing, coincidence, cover-up, wanting to fill a need regardless. The person will mask and repeat, never learning; the matters/thinking patterns are in a cycle without feedback to change. As we get older, those who don’t change stand out.
There will be more than one slip up… who needs a person using others to be left with no one… the greatest fear which drives disinformation is to harm others beyond a parameter, assuming they can then influence others to coverup, get their victim to cover up… sounds like a fit the narrative in the head used externally… what is unhealthy for one is unhealthy for two… the evidence (actions/statements) means ‘step away’ and let the masking deceptive disastrous thinking pattern do it elsewhere as it could be anyone who speaks the truth that needs to be suppressed… the deceptive person may have hidden issues with reality and childhood so they are not acting with long term consideration. Influencing to keep the agenda hidden is a full-time job when other matters like living are much healthier. Certain choices don’t sound healthy for any relationship that requires more than a surface exchange. Authentic guidance is key, not short-cuts at the expense of others, thinking everything is an opportunity for stimulation.)
Deceptive - Linked to factor one (psychopathy and childhood experiences) and Cluster B malignant. Intention to manipulate, emotionally harm, emotional abuse for stimulation, hide an action, statement that is not classed as positive, deny an agenda, blame shift away, fraudulent, victim card, effecting others people’s empathy, self-esteem and perception of someone for a setup of blameshift, using people so to not get hands dirty in any way, wanting and gaining at the expense of others or themselves. Self-deception moves on to deceiving others.
True or False: People who wear masks also need to be aware (if possible due to bottlenecking their own perception) about those who wear the ‘mask of sanity’. A deeper issue from childhood that has fuel for irreversible damage via others. (This one is key to understanding flying monkeys)
Unmasking deceptive people - Document primary and secondary evidence. Conversation and writing or lack of and using others. The approach may involve a red herring, direct questions. The primary evidence is already a negative mark in the assessment. The secondary source is the coverup. Signs of masking and not liking the fear of exposure is just step one. Step two is getting past the denial… the denial is key evidence, and techniques to uncover are found in the book page. Wrong is wrong, the deceptive person doesn’t see it that way so they are bound by their own bias without realising it… the evidence may have bias and using others, eventually, the core will expose itself.
True or False: A red herring can be used to flush out a deceptive person to see which option they chose. Bound by a lie trying to layer over the truth, desperate deceptive people with a grandiose view over others, think their game is too easy to blameshift an easier option can be taken. It is wise to have more than one read herring.
Considerations when joining the dots: Statements, action, conversation, masking, patterns, development, culture, influence, hidden agenda, external intention, bias, passive and overt aggression, fantasy, authenticity, genuine, empathy, lack of, accountability, self-esteem, influence, charm, deception, attention seeking, supply, conflicting behaviours, finances… tone, tempo and body language. Contradiction, bypass, avoidance, using people, numerous feedback, truth and fact.
True or False: Disinformation - The unreliable narrator is trying to get others to conform to a ‘fit the narrative’ or covering up to avoid accountability, truth or fact. Practised due to a lack of development and a detached relationship with right and wrong. The child’s mind is still present, trying to get out of something. Triggered when the facade is tested, calm when the assumption no one is looking close up or checking the detached/fantasy statements.
True or False: No honour amongst thieves; someone will crack due to biases.
‘Acting without a conscience to keep the mask of sanity and public presentation free of accountability. Some fear exposure and shame; some don’t feel anything. Both may react to feedback as it is irrelevant to the internal equation. A lack of guilt with a history of choices has a system around it.’

One answer: Avoid exposure at any cost. This is when the mistakes can be documented in clusters.
True or False: A malignant narcissist will try and damage a situation to maintain a mask; regardless of a child’s or adult’s perception of them and the world around them, it does not matter. The bias exposes itself when tested, questioned, and reviewed. Offered feedback to trigger ‘the false self-construct’ can help surface other matters to make the lie behind the eyes feel to much. Transactional reactions and using others will become more frequent if the lie cannot be layered over reality via a ‘fit the narrative’ fashion. A shake-up can disjoint the surface layer over the truth and deceptive intention. Looking for a lack of empathy, intention, and purpose of the deception will all link up to how many deceptive moves a deceptive person has made over time. There is never just one deceptive action or statement; childhood plays a part, deception is a pathway developed over time.
A history of choices may be suppressed to protect the public presentation, leading to coercive control issues, paranoia, insecurity, a need to gaslight others, overt or covert emotional abuse due to ‘fear of exposure’ triggers from an internal mess behind the false self-construct.
Lacking in empathy for others can lower due to bottlenecking... hiding the self from others means hiding the self from the self, less emotional maintenance. Charm can only last for so long; triggers can make the mask slip. The development years play a part in how the person navigates as an adult.

The AI suggestion…
Yes, psychopaths may play the victim to get attention, manipulate others, or avoid responsibility for their actions:
Manipulative
Psychopaths may use the victim card to emotionally manipulate others to get what they want. They may also use gaslighting, emotional invalidation, and projection to create circular conversations that go nowhere.
Irresponsible
Psychopaths may not accept responsibility for their problems and may see their issues as someone else's fault. They may shrug off child support payments, get in debt, or forget about obligations and commitments.
Charming
Psychopaths can appear normal and even charming. They may be manipulative, charming, and exploitative.
Other characteristics of psychopathy include: Lack of empathy, Impulsive and risky behavior, Lack of conscience or guilt, Grandiose sense of self-worth, and Pathological lying.
True or False: Truth, triggers and actions, pay attention to the deflection and blameshift. There are more deceptive actions hiding to cause fear of exposure. A lack of accountability is at play at the expense and use of others. Transaction with control issues needing to suppress any means necessary. An action to something, not a reaction to nothing. Hurt deceptive people hurt others in a very particular way... it's all been documented in the pattern of deceptive behaviour hiding in the mind and facade.

The Role of Flying Monkeys in Domestic Abuse
Flying monkeys in the context of domestic abuse play various roles, all of which serve to reinforce the abuser’s control and manipulation:
Spread Disinformation: They may spread lies and rumours about the victim, often echoing the narcissist’s narrative to discredit and isolate the victim further.
Harassment and Intimidation: Flying monkeys can also engage in direct harassment, sending messages or making calls on behalf of the abuser, serving to intimidate and control the victim.
Spying and Reporting Back: In some cases, they act as the eyes and ears of the abuser, reporting back on the victim’s activities and state of mind.
Enabling Denial: Their actions can provide the abuser with plausible deniability, as the abuser can claim they are not directly responsible for the actions of others.
Direct and Indirect forms of abuse, how to spot the history when matters change tactics.
Test Question - Smear, what is it and why does it happen in childhood, families, schools, places of work, going undetected? What is its design, why does it happen, and why is it a secondary sign of something more harmful? It is important to realise when playing catch up to matters of concern. Smear can occur as a tool used after the direct damage/gaslighting/various forms of emotional or physical abuse have been employed over time with mixed aggression, so the question behaviour continues undetected with training or education to spot the signs. Using in-direct methods linked to control issues to extend guilt or shame onto someone with emotional abuse/pressure can be an indicator of deceptive high-functioning behaviour appearing in the secondary evidence in the abuse timeline.
True or False: The full definition is a narcissistic smear. The internal mechanism operates externally, showing a lack of empathy for others, an internally damaged feedback loop, control issues, avoiding processing and accountability, blame shifts to damage truth and facts to continue to mask and gaslight through others when the target/victim chose not to accept a personality disorder (unusually undiagnosed) or continue deception or self-deception. A hurt person hurts other people to avoid a lie/action, or behaviour. Guilt and shame are put on to others as the child in the adult cannot process reality with balance or the perception of others, which is different to the carefully crafted false self-construct inside a facade built over time from childhood experiences of abuse or no accountability or both. Fantasy and abuse behind closed doors, sometimes in public. The giveaway is simple: Using others and others unable to go beyond face value. Exposure on numerous accounts, all included, extends and becomes an abuser while the core negative disruptor tries to stay clean, further secondary evidence linking to the coverup primary evidence. More than one narcissistic person will expose themselves, and more than one unbiased personality disorder will expose themselves. Not every adult has an adult mind due to childhood development. A Professional victim can be present as a tool.
Test question response - If marked wrong even after presenting key markers, review the Smear or Flying Monkeys web pages, then seek advice locally or call 101 or 999 or 911 (US). The confusion you might be experiencing has a design not to see who is causing harm over time to your mental health over time. Gaslighting has a design and has an agenda to go undetected, a game to one person with mixed behaviour, very harmful to another. The unfortunate experience is linked to an undiagnosed disorder is trying to influence others to ‘fit a narrative’ with detachment and control issues (assuming they own someone else’s perception at any cost), which can harm an uneducated person with Truth Bias (we grow up assuming with a positive comparison) for years while they repair from someone’s agenda, if the emotional abuser is persistent. They will go on to harm networks, another giveaway that something is damaging in a masked internal thinking system/equation. Indirect emotional abuse is equally as harmful as direct abuse; in many ways, it is the extension of the direct abuse to really cause damage with detachment and maintain control of a lie/action or a facade the disruptor assumes is acceptable in their eyes. Their perception may have been formed a long time ago from bad role modelling.
