What the heck does it mean when someone keeps saying things that contradict?

Like one second they're praising you, the next they're accusing you. One moment they're calm, the next they're angry. They ask you to tell them things, then get mad at what you say. Nothing makes sense, what is that?
That’s a huge red flag and a signal to run. Nothing makes sense because you can’t make sense out of nonsense. They’re just a large can of mixed nuts. 🥜

That sounds like something I personally have gotten enough of to where I can’t be bothered. My advice is don’t even bother trying to understand it and just get out of there. Life’s too short to suffer that noise.
@Ducky Is this a common thing people do?

I agree 🖤

@MarbleMarvel I’m not sure how common it is, but I’ve been married to someone like that for a while now.
Sounds narcissistic to me...

I have finally learned that when I hear myself say that I'm confused, while trying to make sense of a person's incongruent and contradictory words/actions... I know I'm being manipulated.
@StarLily it's blowing my mind it a manipulation tactic. It makes me feel like nothing when they do it.

@MarbleMarvel Yep, that's how it makes me feel too.
I had to learn the same lesson many, many times until I finally realized that the biggest clue that I'm being manipulated, is feeling confused. Please be careful, listen and trust yourself... truth + honesty = clarity, not confusion.

If this is while In a text scroll and not "Actual Speaking" perhaps you're reading into the text incorrectly.
@Iwillwait they will tell me I'm the greatest person they know, then the next minute accuse me of trying to hurt them. Which is it? 😂

@MarbleMarvel I have this at work. I am not sure what to do, but move on, take note and try to never engage again.

Sounds like someone trying to manipulate you.
@NeuroticByNature is it meant to be confusing? So I am stressed? I'm definitely confused.

@MarbleMarvel manipulative people are confusing.

@geoam1 really? It happens that fast?

They'll switch from one moment to the next. I never know what I'm going to get.

Sounds like someone to cut off
They're making the rules up as they go along. The lack of consistency is to shake your confidence and plant seeds of doubt to assert control over the dynamics between the two of you. You can't reason with someone like this. Disengaging is your best bet, at least in the moment

I’d say that they were fake. I’ve dealt with a couple like that and that was their truth. Could be different of course for others.

Sounds like my 2nd X. Major bipolar syndrome. AND she saved it all up just for me when she got home.
It means the wheel is spinning, but the hamster is dead.
Sounds like marriage.
