Spot A Narcissist & The Malignant Type

The behaviour is different between females and males, and there is overlap.

Summary: Love Bombing, Gaslighting, and Professional Victim Card to focus once your awareness as the public presentation fades behind closed doors and to take control appears subtle, and the public image of the world remains intact. They don’t like boundaries they need to manipulate to survive due to a lack of empathy for others and their childhood experiences. They are not superior; they are hiding a fragile ego. Blame shifting and avoiding accountability so they are wrong, not superior in the fantasy perception. Process their point of view and spot the bias and hidden failures in certain areas. Invaliding other people’s statements and feelings is a major red flag. Self-centeredness damages relationships…fake entitlement will lead to name calling, chipping and poking…emotional abuse to feel better about narcissistic collapse will be exposed. Watch for someone who can’t be vulnerable, as it is very different to masking fragile with aggression. They love to lie all the time; it's part of the fantasy perception of themselves and others…their view is way off, but you shouldn’t know that.

If you go No Contact, it will expose what was hiding in plain sight. The cover-up needs to happen through others to keep the facade active and all the blame shifting to branch out with the victim card. They will damage everyone's relationships through words because they are used to emotional abuse behind closed doors. The disorder tricks the narcissist into thinking they can do anything with cause and effect, will exposure them self to the educated community.

Watch for the chipping and poking to wind others up, then they make you the one affecting everything to keep the attention from them. It's a mirror of their childhood put on to others when they are trying to claim they are an adult.

Watch out for contempt; it’s hidden in micro-expressions.
