God, all this rivalry over me? Please, keep going. How absolutely exciting. I get so bored when I am in a long-term, committed relationship. I thrive on the validation and attention of so many admirers. I betrayed my previous partners and they found out. Of course, by then, I had to discard them because they had seen behind the mask and they were no longer willing to invest in forgetting my crimes. Feel sorry for me. Nurse me back to emotional health. Come closer. The truth is, I prefer to be the one inflicting pain. I love leaving the places where my victims have me figured out and starting over. Are you buying this bullshit? Only then can you break free from their mind games, and falsehoods — and live freely in the truth. Baskin-Sommers, A.

Men are shamed from boyhood to learn to hate, deny and divorce themselves, from their own yearnings to feel emotions of vulnerability in relation to self and others. They are warned to guard against expressing human impulses of empathy, caring or kindness, all of which are traits that are linked with weakness and those the powerful deem weak — and are entitled to exploit — such as women and children, weak men and other groups. Multifaceted cross-cultural historical and anthropoligical studies in the last five decades prove otherwise. And their work is also conducted by narcissist trolls all over the internet. A narcissist and psychopath whether male or female identifies strongly with an internalized misogynist belief system, and specific intentions to prove dominance and superiority, and thus feels entitled to take over and control the mind of another with any means necessary. The MeToo Movement has only scratched the surface. So how does a narcissist reveal himself? In the same way that all persons do. We become our habits and habitual behaviors. Not just occasional, here and there. Our habits reveal what we derive pleasure from, most value, most want. Narcissists reveal who they are by what they do,not what they say. Here are twelve actions that narcissists take that reveal a pathology that poses harm or danger to others:. They use gaslighting to derail any attempt of another to feel fully human, as separate beings with needs, wants, dreams of their own. Narcissists regard kind, loving, caring persons as not only inferior and weak, but also dangerous and emasculating to those in authority positions. They live in a topsy turvy world in which everyone is either a hunter or prey. In other words, they lie, lie, lie to themselves and one another about what is normal in human relationships. They gaslight. And gaslighting is a form of lying, a fear-elevating communication tactic, proven in scientific studies, to cripple the otherwise amazing abilities of the human brain to think, more specifically, to derail any attempts of a partner to emotionally connect as a real live human being with a voice, yearnings, wants, dreams of her own. He sees his job as training her to think, do, feel, say what serves or pleases his needs and interests. Anything else he perceives as a threat! They lie feeling entitled to do so to prove their superiority. Narcissists lie as a way of life. They often speak in code, amongst one another. They say the word love, they mean sex. They view concept such as soulmates or partnership relations as bait to trap women. In the case of this article, this refers to male entitlements over female, however, these cult practices are responsible for all institutional violence, as they rationalize physical, emotional and, or sexual violence of those in authority positions against whatever group is targeted, for example, children, gays and nonwhites, among others, often within the very institutions that supposedly exist to protect them, such as family, church, education, athletics, government, and so on. They believe violating the rights of a partner is proof of their superiority. Narcissists do not see their partner, or women in general, as human beings. This more than anything else explains why they act entitled to treat women perhaps also other groups, children, gays, nonwhites, other religions, etc. They do not see a woman partner as human. In many cases the is mostly or perhaps solely emotional abuse, a form of emotional abuse that is separate and far more severe than the usual tongue lashings of parents scolding, shaming children into obedience although this is also abuse, and harmful as well. Narcissists know this well. They want you to argue over the points they make, or their accusations. Time and energy are precious. Do not waste them. Narcissists intentionally violate and abuse a parter, using the tactic of gaslighting to get into their mind to subjugate their will, control what they think, feel and believe about self and their abuser. Ultimately the goal of narcissistic abuse is to inflict on their partner the same topsy-turvy worldview they hold — one in which the abuser is infallible master and justified in all they do to include abuse, whereas their victim is ever to , deserves, even caused their own abuse. Telling a narcissist that they faltered in any way is likely to get a violent reaction, a fit of rage, physical and, or emotional abuse, stony silence or punitive treatment that lasts for hours or days. They may leave the house for an extended period of time, or react violently just to have an excuse to leave or do what they wanted anyway. This reveals the dehumanizing view they hold of others, and sadly of human relationships. The violent reaction by the way is intentional, itself part of a strategy. This is why narcissists hate and fear the truth like nothing else. One is to help you understand the condition beyond the textbook definition of sociopathy. Two, I hope that you can effectively utilize the information presented in this book to spread awareness and help prevent the number of children growing up to become sociopaths. Three, this book is for your own safety and protection. As you cross the street, you are highly likely to come across a narcissist, and this would only mean one thing: they are common. Of course, there are two sides of the same coin when it comes to this type of personality. This segment will provide you with all the information that you will ever need to understand and the narcissistic personality disorder. Here you be able to know how to identify someone who is a narcissist, read up on ideas about whether this is a good or a bad thing and how to control the self one is narcissistic.

The introduction for this book sets the stage, and that's the purpose of introductions. But effective introductions set an orderly stage that signals that an interesting play is about to unfold. Unfortunately, in this case, the grammatical errors and lack of professional copy editing suggest that the ensuing play will be muddled at best and full of errors at worst. Both fears turn out to have some merit. The first chapter begins with a discussion of schizophrenia which ignores the DSM definition The introduction for this book sets the stage, and that's the purpose of introductions. The first chapter begins with a discussion of schizophrenia which ignores the DSM definition and instead adopts the common lay-press misconception that the root word of the condition is schism and that this means this disease is actually multiple personality disorder. It is not. The two are quite separate. The Wikipedia article on schizophrenia explains how it is distinct from multiple personality disorder. This isn't an obscure fact that would have been difficult to research. Early in the book, we are treated to a true deepity of definition. Under the heading, "What is Personality Disorder? The problem is that this definition would have us believe that all the most extraordinary and world- changing individuals who have ever lived were mentally ill because they weren't just like everyone else in their time. In fact, many informed observers of humanity state that if there is anything such as a norm of human behavior, it's exceedingly difficult to define what it might be. Lest my critique discourage a reader who wants a quick and digestible description of various clusters within the spectrum covered by Anti-Social Personality Disorders let me close with this. In his conclusion, the author states, "Hopefully this book has succeeded in its goal of broadening your understanding of personality disorders and mental illness, and may it also aid you in coping with the tendencies that surround you and your loved ones. So if you are concerned with individuals that may be psychopaths, sociopaths or extreme narcissists, the book is well worth reading. Nov 16, Brian C. Kennedy rated it did not like it. Very poor and misleading. I have worked with people suffering from mental health issues for many years. I can't recommend this book. The author appears to have no qualifications or experience in the field he is discussing. Why do people act a certain way? Why do people behave a certain way? These are the questions that Clarence has been seeking the answers to his entire life. Clarence has no plan for retirement because he loves what he does.

Nothing repels narcissists more than human traits of caring, tenderness and compassion for others, except persons that emphasize these values in the treatment of others. It is not possible to make them happy. Their own cognitive disturbance keeps them in misery. Due to the mirror neurons in human brains, to the extent narcissists hate others, they live in mind and body states of self-hatred. The fact that a narcissist has no moral compass is what makes them a risk to others. They self-identify as con artists, pathological liars. Do your conversations leave you confused, crazy, wondering what you could say or do to get him to understand, and work together as partners? Narcissists are expert con artists. Nothing gives narcissists more pleasure than to deceive, manipulate another to do something against their will. To them, the means and ends are one. As they have no moral compass, narcissists regard skills in con artistry and lies as a critical assets, a means to an end — to dominate, conquer, enslave. The goal is to get into the mind of another and cause such confusion, to then slavishly participate in their own abuse and exploitation without their awareness of such. This explains why a narcissist refuses to change! To change would mean to not exist. They desperately seek to deny and pathologise human yearnings for intimacy, closeness, collaboration. The only contact people require, in their view, is sex for pleasure. They need lies because their false-self does not exist in a world of truth about the power of love and creativity, collaboration and human connection! They self-identify as abusers, bullies. Narcissists are chronic abusers. This lie spreads forms the foundation of most supremacist ideologies, racism, classism, ageism, and so on. They self-identify as heartless. Does he question and accuse you of being a narcissist when you want attention; selfish when you make requests; sensitive when balk at abusive or sarcastic comments; or controlling when you ask him to change a hurtful behavior? Believe their actions. Narcissism is not merely a label. It is a serious cognitive disturbance, a profile of one that has lost their connection to feeling human traits of kindness, empathy and caring for others wellbeing and happiness. Their loss is their doing, however. Their mindset is based on a misguided ideology, twisted beliefs that dehumanize them, yet also leave them with extremely fragile, weak and wounded egos. As a result of the rigid belief system, a narcissist is left with no capacity to love. How can one love when they feel scorn and disgust for those that yearn to love and be loved? The more a woman signals that she wants to make a narcissist happy, the more a narcissist seeks to torment and take control of her mind. Narcissists, nevertheless, can be skilled at play-acting love, known as , a tool to deceive and disarm. Only someone disconnected from their ability to empathize derives pleasure from strategizing cruel treatment of those that try to love them. In their mind, this proves their superiority. Empathy is a tool they use to bait others, to snare and exploit them, to use them as punching bags. They cannot fake empathy, however, not once you become aware and informed. Instead, what they incur are major losses while the covert narcissist rides off gleefully into the sunset. First, they dangle the carrot, then they give the carrot to someone else to make you feel like the defective one. They may instead reward someone else to make you feel like you were the problem all along. These petty manipulations would never cross the minds of normal, empathic beings, but they are all part of the elaborate mental chess games malignant narcissists thrive on. They set up their victims for failure, always moving the goal posts so that their victims are left disoriented and unable to fight back. These elaborate set-ups are all just a ploy to get inside your head, plant seeds of self-doubt, and to terrorize and traumatize you. Covert predators are able to lie and deceive with alarming ease, some even to the extent of passing lie detector tests. Yet their lies are not as easily spotted as the lies of your more garden-variety manipulator. Predators know what to morph into, what to say, and when. They relish fabricating illusions of promises they never intend to keep. As master gaslighters, they lie with a convincing amount of conviction and feigned emotion. Their lies are often perfectly tailored towards what they know their victims will want to hear and will want to believe — which is why they get away with their falsehoods for such long periods of time. His wife expressed shock that he could go so far as to plan her murder. By all accounts, these predators appeared to have happy relationships and were able to fool society with their charismatic public image. Yet the lengthy involved in these cases will come to no surprise to those who have lived with and have married covert malignant narcissists. The secret lives of covert sociopaths consist of multiple affairs, crimes, and numerous lies built up over time which do not unravel until their most horrific deeds were finally uncovered. A propensity for double lives is intrinsic to their disorder. Psychopaths are prone to boredom and have a high need for stimulation. The psychopathic brain has been studied to show structural and functional abnormalities in the prefrontal cortex and amygdala, parts of the brain responsible for moral reasoning, empathy, as well as anxiety and fear Motzkin, et. A lack of moral qualms, an absence of fear and a constant need for thrill is quite a dangerous combination when a psychopath is involved. Their levels of sexual depravity and conscienceless behavior know no bounds — simply because they do not have any boundaries to hold them back. The most covert sociopaths are able to engage in a great deal of grandstanding and virtue-signaling to create a persona of a good-natured, humble, caring and generous individual in order to mask their true contempt and malice. This allows them to get away with their crimes more easily in public. Their superficial and glib charm is not only part of their diagnostic criteria, it is the driving force behind what makes them so alluring to potential targets of their schemes. Their devil-may-care exterior actually works for narcissists, rather than against them, when it comes to initial attraction, ironically even for those seeking long-term mates. Research has indicated that even women with a wealth of experience in the romantic arena and a desire for marriage including those who have knowledge of narcissistic personalities still preferred narcissists as romantic partners. These traits are attractive to females in relationship contexts. The pity ploy is perhaps the most dangerous weapon in the arsenal of a covert sociopath. It is, perversely, an appeal to our sympathy. Pity disarms us and makes us vulnerable to exploitation. Preying on our sympathy, our conscientiousness and empathy is a common maneuver for conscienceless, sophisticated and covert manipulators because it enables them to get past our defenses. Meanwhile, these same malignant types lack the affective empathy and sympathy for their victims — depending on where they fall on the spectrum, they often do not feel anything other than sadistic pleasure at inflicting pain. Covert manipulators know how to bypass our logic and reasoning by appealing to the most vulnerable parts of us — our empathy and compassion, qualities which they do not possess themselves.
