Recently I had a friendship with a sociopath. Their words keep replaying in my head.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

It will take time. Mostly be kind to yourself.
Google sociopath, psychopath and toxic people; read about other people's experiences. and see whether anything they say makes sense to you.
I wish you well.

Without knowing what they've said to you, it is hard to offer a word. But from my own experiences, I had to remind myself of the truth of things, and not their gaslight version of events designed to make me feel unhinged. Thankfully, unlike many things you'll find in the world, God's word doesn't change. God's word doesn't shift with popular opinion, what you look like today compared to yesterday (year, decade, etc.), or what you may need more of now than you did before. His word is always the answer. What's up to us is how well we search for the answer in his word. That, and prayer. Remember Job. False friends do much damage. Do as Job did, and the rest of your way will make itself clear.
