I have been reading up on narcissists recently. Why? Well, I have also been reading up on prostituted women, autogynephilia, and pornography.
I have always been interested in the weirdness that is the human species ....
Anyway, narcissists.
There is a chap out there who is a particularly ripe example, and who is moreover aware of what he is doing. Most narcissists are not, and therefore have no idea of the damage they are causing. This particularly narcissist, who goes by the nom de plume of HG Tudor, was pressured by his friends & relations to undergo therapy, and his therapists suggested that he write a blog.
Whether this is the true reason why he writes I don't know, but he writes well and clearly knows what he is talking about, judging by the many readers' comments that endorse his work and my own experience.
Basically, a narcissist is someone who, often as a result of a loveless childhood, lacks self confidence, and is filled with a deep sense of self loathing. In the place of the loving, supporting inner voice that sustains other people in times of difficulties, narcissists have an aggressively destructive demon that tells them how worthless and horrible they are.
Narcissists try to shut up their inner demon by manipulating others into making them appear superior, by one of two ways: (a) getting others to admire them, which makes them feel superior; and (b) making other people look small, so that the narcissist looks big in comparison.
Unfortunately, admiring the narcissists only works for them short term, because of the narcissists' deep rooted inferiority complex, which tells them that the admiration of someone who is dumb enough to admire them is worthless.
That is why they tend to rely on pulling down and devaluing other people, especially people who they secretly admire and want to be like. Narcissists' main victims in this regard are their spouses, who usually end up with their lives in ruins, depressed and a shadow of their former selves. Parents often do the same thing to their children, which creates the narcissist personality in the first place.
Most narcissists seem to follow similar principles and techniques to devalue their victims and destroy their self confidence, and HG Tudor describes and outlines these beautifully. The many comments on his YouTube videos and blog written by many (ex-)victims of narcissists attest to this.
I link to several of his videos, and also to his blog below - some of them are truly chilling.
Narcissists like to victimise empaths, who are particularly susceptible to emotional manipulations, and they can really damage such emotionally sensitive individuals. There seem to be more male than female narcissists, probably because our society's male role models encourage this.

HG Tudor Crazed While it is the narcissist who is mind-sick, he often projects his illness on to his victim, and makes out that she is the one who is crazy by lying, gas-lighting,etc.
