Smear Campaigns is a Narcissist Specialty

 Smear campaigns are typically conducted against people who have stood up against some form of unfairness, abuse, or entitlement.

Narcissists and Sociopaths are highly active smear campaigners - spreading rumors is their speciality

A smear campaign involves blatant lies, exaggerations, and the use of half truths to come across more creditable to any skeptics, their goal is to convince others that they are the victim and the person they are slandering is the disordered

Smear campaigners insinuate that the victim is mentally ill, unreasonable, incompetent, untrustworthy, or abusive.

Sociopaths  typically play on the sensibilities of others, using people’s empathy and morals to turn people against their victims – most often for having done nothing more than disagree with the smearer.

A smear campaigner prefers to make others think they are good people who are rightfully standing up against the victim’s supposed immorality or abuse.

Smear campaigners play the victim, the hero, or both.

Smear campaigners try to ostracize their victims and make them feel alone, unpopular, and unsupported by others.

Smear campaigners enjoy the feeling of having “gotten back at” their victims, and believe it is completely justifiable – even fun – to mistreat someone for having an opinion that is different from theirs.

Smear campaigners do not acknowledge the wrong they do, and cannot typically be expected to genuinely confess or apologize — even after they’ve been proven liars.

Do not speak to smear campaigners unless it’s completely impossible not to. If you DO have to speak to the smearer, do so only in the presence of others and in copied emails/properly documented letters. Plan ahead to prevent being put in difficult positions by the smear campaigner.

Lastly, remember that you do have the right to make fair and healthy requests, and if you are smeared as a result, smearing is an unreasonable and unacceptable response.

The dysfunctional sociopath is bat shit crazy

Adults with a history of lying, chaotic relationships, and numerous divorces  usually are very skilled deniers and manipulators. They have an arrogant manner and may prove to have a lifetime of success with manipulation and lying. Behind their fake words and facial expression actually lies a deep contempt and jealousy for others, who they regard as inferior. They hate anyone who has good personal boundaries, moral values and refuse to be disrespectful. 

These skilled liars give mental illness a bad name. Just because someone can lie well does not mean she's a supremely intelligent individual. 

It means she is a dysfunctional, spiteful abusive person. Those highly effective techniques for manipulation are a natural part of who she is.

She is simply a bad person with bad intentions 

The sociopath makes the victim feel a sense of powerlessness, fear, and dependency. Verbal and emotional abuse amplifies these emotions, and they become stronger and stronger over time. Until the victim has no fight left. No life left. The victim is drained and exhausted. The sociopath enjoys destroying the victim. She wants power and destroying others makes her feel powerful. Reality is though she is insecure and weak. And has no power over anyone
