This confusion is often caused by what is known as the \"FOG.\" The disastrous effects of being lost in the FOG are confusion, crazymaking, people pleasing, an erosion of boundaries, and the ultimate loss of self. The FOG is an acronym that stands for \"Fear, Obligation, and Guilt.\" These three emotions are often at the core of manipulation and are often how narcissists, sociopaths, and other types of emotional manipulators go about controlling their targets. However, this type of destructive manipulation isn't just limited to narcissists and sociopaths. What makes this well-intended bad advice so damaging is that, on the surface, it seems like good advice--especially if it's coming from people who seem to have our best interests in mind, such as friends, family, church members, support group members, spiritual advisors, or therapists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of the concepts covered are: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWho are You to Judge vs. Being Discerning\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo One is Perfect vs. Tolerating Abuse\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommitment vs. Codependency\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelf-love vs. Selfishness\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Person Acting the Part vs. A Person Actually Changing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Friend vs. Someone Being Friendly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeing in Love With Them vs. Being in Love With Who They Pretended to Be\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorkable Behavior vs. Deal Breakers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcceptance vs. Allowance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoing Through So Much Together vs. Being Put Through So Much By Them\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSincerity vs. Intensity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHealthy Bonding vs. Trauma Bonding\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInsincere Remorse vs. Sincere Remorse\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e...and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 370\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.94 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 21, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44412269232230,"sku":"9781732908338","price":44.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/SEI5dU1KcGc3YUtVdGloRnBXYzN1UT09.webp?v=1769907154","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/out-of-the-fog-moving-from-confusion-to-clarity-after-narcissistic-abuse-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
