A few years ago I was targeted by one. So recently I've confronted all the people they have spying (and they too are spying on me) and asked them if we could talk about everything and if they don't want to talk then I'm walking away from it. What 'it' is I wont get into long winded details here but my question is when someone cuts all ties from a Sociopath and just accepts that they have been used and abused what will happen now? Will they leave me alone and find others to torment (two others have come forward to me about them and two more have come forward to one of these other people about them). I need to remove myself from their game once and for all. By telling them that I'm walking away from everything am I now free? Will they simply become bored of someone who doesn't want to play or will they try to keep me in the game.
It depends on how important you are to their plans or how much they want you to stay. If the sociopath(s) get pleasure from you or need you, then walking away wont be easy. I'd suggest not walking down any dark alleys and fortify your home. Be aware.
Don't meet up with loved ones in public. Also, it's best to condition yourself physically. I work out and am getting stronger, and know how to use knives and am able to walk outside with knowledge of how to keep myself away from sight.
Life isn't as dangerous as it was, but it's still easy for someone with the right tools and knowledge to make you disappear.
If you can actually keep yourself at a distance, stay strong in your convictions, if you are clear and forceful with your stance, Then they will eventually forget you and find a new toy to play with. That's for sociopaths.
If you're dealing with an addictive psychotic personality then they may just kill you and eat you... so you're always with them... Psychopaths can be so romantic. :)
