BS Sandwich Ingredients:

- Two to three slices of truth
- Toxic narratives
- Gossip
- Brain washing dogma
- Manipulative language
- Gas lighting verbiage
- Other forms of negativity

How most people make their BS sandwiches

Step 1: the hook - first/top slice of bread

Present a little bit of truth; this is how they pull you in. They'll start by saying something that may be common knowledge or a widely accepted theory in order to catch your attention. Here is where they hook you. Now that they have you hanging onto their every word, they'll start adding the "meat" to the sandwich.

Step 2: adding the "meat"

Suddenly they will start inserting the gossip, toxic narratives, brain washing dogma, manipulative language, gas lighting verbiage, and other forms of negative energy into what first appeared to be a wholesome, enlightening conversation.

Step 3: the last/bottom slice of bread

Here is where they may notice your face twitch, or the tone of your voice will soften in confusion. They'll pick up on both verbal and nonverbal body languages that tells them you may be questioning their speech, or the ideas they are setting forth. In fact, they may not notice anything at all, but due to the fact that they know you are otherwise an intelligent individual, they also know they have to recover from the BS they just served before you catch on.

So, they will revert back to positive language, start again with stating common knowledge or a widely accepted idea, or they may even start showering you with compliments, turning the now negative conversation on YOU. Please be aware that just like that first slice of bread, this last slice of bread is only being added as a distraction!

FYI
Please keep in mind that in some cases, a person might try to feed you a double-decker/big mac! This is when the BS they are serving is obviously so far-fetched, they have to add an extra slice of bread in between the "meat." They will do this so that the truth is buried so deeply in the bread that even when you notice it, it's virtually impossible to deny!

Please note that when you eat a BS sandwich, you yourself may officially become full of sh--. In this event, you may need to do a spiritual, mental and physical detox to restore your equilibrium.

Three common statements people use when they want to escape accountability for their actions, words, influence, etc.

Here are some ways you can flip the script on people when they attempt to gaslight you in this manner:

** Look at their forehead when responding **

- Don't instantly react. Instead, take a moment to look at them in the eyes and ask, "Are you ok?"

- Remain calm and ask a follow up question such as, "Is there anything other non-valuable feedback you'd like to ask?" or say something like, "You must feel sorry for yourself very often."

- Ask, "are you sure about that?"

- Calmly ask, "Are you having a bad day?"

- Ask them a personal question to make them focus on themselves instead. For example, if someone tells you that you're always playing the victim, ask them "When you're expressing yourself about something, are YOU playing victim?"

- Calmly say to them, " I guess truth is hard to process for some people."

These are simply psychology tricks that will cause the person who is attempting to gaslight you, to question themselves instead. Even if their response to your reaction doesn't take place immediately; when they are alone, their lingering self-doubt will cause them to question their interaction and behavior with you for some time!

Remember, self-expression is key to healing, personal growth and confidence. In standing your ground against master manipulators, you will develop a superpower that will help you navigate life and life's challenges in a healthy, respectful manner.

Thanks for listening, and thanks for reading!
