We live in a society that actively encourages narcissism. From sports to education to the corporate managerial class.

Being the cycle breaker in a narcissist family is NOT fun. I'm gaslighted by my own family every time I attempt to talk to them about my feelings.
@jazzimaria
RIP in the chat for everyone who had their spirit broken by a malignant narcissist who acted like they weren’t pure evil to trap you before they broke you down 🫶🏽
@Damons-Old-Soul
The narcissist has the emotional intelligence of a 5 year old. Once you see this, you cannot unsee it.
@SelectedNarcissist
The worst part is that how masterful they are at fooling almost everybody. Oftentimes most people are like " She/he is soooo nice!". Their evil can thus go undetected for decades!!! Infuriating!

A narcissist wants authority of a king while having the accountability of a toddler.

I had a friend who said that she thought that the common image of the Devil as an ugly person was wrong. She said that, if she was the Devil, she would show up as a good-looking man in a business suit. You've captured this pretty well.

Most people don't want to be alone long enough to truly examine themselves and face potentially negative feelings. Instead they distract themselves through pleasure or search for validation of bad their bad behaviors. It's important to go through some of the bad thoughts and feelings in order to grow as a person as opposed to constantly trying to escape insecurities through delusion.

I'd show this to all the narcissists in my life, but their response would only be "no u"

My mother was a malignant narcissist. For example, we got into an argument about the Chevelle SS once. She said it didn't exist, and that I didn't know jack because I wasn't alive then. I pulled up Chevy's own page on the car, and my mother's response was "anyone can put anything on the Internet". Later that week, a Chevelle SS was on an episode of Top Gear, and my mother was like, "See I TOLD you Chevy made a Chevelle SS"! When I went to correct her, she screamed that I was trying to gaslight her. This kind of behavior was the norm, not the exception, and as a result, I have no real clue about some of the most important events in my and my family's history.

So true about narcissists being above blame for their actions, they'll shamelessly blame anyone but themselves

Understanding the narcissist’s mind is the first step to breaking free from their grip. Knowledge is power. Greetings from the Republic of Sovereigns ❤

The truth isn't enough, though. The most difficult part of dealing with narcissists isn't actually the narcissists - it's their flying monkeys. Narcissists amass power from these sycophants who believe, enable, and idolize them. They will smear you, attack you, and cast you out for speaking ill of their god. Regarding a more personal level, narcissists do their evil behind closed doors. That way they can keep up appearances and maintain plausible deniability against anything you might say or expose about them. The flying monkeys will never acknowledge the narcissist is capable of any evil because it contradicts the narcissist's carefully curated image and reputation which the loyal yes men fully believe and support. I tried to expose a malignant narcissist - many times - only to be gaslit, called a liar, and betrayed by people I had foolishly thought were decent and honest.
@maxdotbam
Man this hit the nail on the head. Anyone who has dealt with someone like this knows how tough it can be.
@danielschmidt7153
People throw the phrase "Narcissist" around alot, but this is a good breakdown, my ex was horribly narcissistic, and the minute she didn't get her way, she would freak out, if you asked her to admit fault, she would demonize you, even with her having been a cheater and physically abusing her animals, she could do no wrong in her eyes

This should be required learning for every citizen in America and the world. Thank you!

What's worse is people that simply seek to destroy everything that they feel doesn't belong in their perfect world.
