Narcissists are what I like to call “conscience-less MASTER manipulators”. To be one, you must be a pathological liar and someone with near zero Emotional Intelligence i.e an extreme disregard for other people’s feelings.

I have had to LIVE and relate closely with two different narcissists (one half the age of the other and of a different gender) at various stages of my life.

Narcissists are what I like to call “conscience-less MASTER manipulators”. To be one, you must be a pathological liar and someone with near zero Emotional Intelligence i.e an extreme disregard for other people’s feelings.

I have had to LIVE and relate closely with two different narcissists (one half the age of the other and of a different gender) at various stages of my life.

Mayo Clinic’s definition is particularly useful for painting a clear picture of what NPD is:

“Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that’s vulnerable to the slightest criticism”(Source: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/narcissistic-personality-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20366662)

I assure you, they are the worst kind of TOXIC person one can ever have to deal with.

Most times you’re better of getting away to achieve zero or minimal contact, if your well being (especially psychological/emotional) is NOT to suffer.

Sadly, I have found that sometimes people do NOT even realize they are with a Narcissist, because they do NOT know the signs. Then there are those who know, but feel helpless about what to do.

I say this based on many personal experiences and observations, and the resultant damage on those victims I have witnessed. This is what convinced me of a need to create a resource to help others detect and deal with these kinds of wicked personalities in their lives.

By way of interest, narcissists are particularly bad for kids – so if you have one as a spouse or influential adult in the life of your child, KNOW that your child needs to be protected from that individual, before it is too late.

I believe no one has the right to subject others to such a painful existence as narcissists do. I know what it feels like to be at the receiving end of such person’s negative ministrations. Believe me, it can rapidly turn you into an emotional and psychological wreck.

I survived and fought back successfully because I was relentless in learning ways to do so – even while dealing with them.

However, my ability to handle people I’ve found with Narcissistic Personality Disorder took time to develop. I realize not everyone has the capacity to endure and persist in finding a way out like I did.

This is why I’m preparing a special slideshow presentation that offers information and education to empower others. The damage I have seen narcissists do to people is simply too GREAT for me to ignore!
