    Vaknin is the real deal in Narcissism and Psychopathy expertise. Israeli, PhD in finance and PhD in psychology, he has been researching and publishing on the topic since late 1990’s, wayyyy before the social networks craze on narcissism.

    Really worth to listento and follow on the web.

    This vid should also be posted in other relevant threads. All for waking up. Many presidents fill all the test scoring of narcissistic or psychopatic behaviors.

    Other excellent authors/researchers are Grannon (trained by Vaknin), Dr Ramani on narcissism, definitely Chase Hughes for psyops and spies/top manipulators agencies, Dr peter Salerno on cluster B (asocial) personnalities, in French Annabelle Boyer, Isabelle Nazar-Aga

    Vaknin, a self confessed narcissist, wrote the book "Malignant Self Love". One of the most harrowing books I have ever read. It details all the Narcissist tactics to acquire narcissistic supply . If you want to truly understand Narcissism it's the book to read.

    I have been following Sam Vaknin for years on youtube.
    The insights he has are amazing. It has given me so much understanding of how much of human interaction is occuring.
    certainly Trump is a grandiose Narcissist, so its at the core of everything he is doing.

    What Actually Scares a Narcissist
    https://www.facebook.com/watch/search/q=what%20scares%20a%20narcissist%20most
    Mental Health with Omoye

    1. Emotional Indifference
    Not anger, not tears. Not explanations. Your lack of emotional reaction cuts off their supply.

    2. Someone who sees patterns, not potential
    Once you stop hoping they'll change and start seeing who they "consistently" are, their power weakens.

    3. Boundaries they can't negotiate
    Clear, calm non-emotional boundaries terrify them because manipulation no longer works.

    4. Being exposed without drama
    Quiet truth, consistency and facts--not public explosions--are what truly threatens them.

    5. Losing control over the narrative
    When you stop defending yourself and let your behavior speak, they panic.

    6. Someone who can walk away without closure
    No begging, no last conversation.
    No emotional hooks, just distance.

    7. Healing
    A healed person doesn't chase, explain, or over-give.
    And a narcissist has no power where there is no need.
    Each breath a gift...

    How about when it's your own doctor/surgeon and you have no choice but to communicate with them?
    I was just browsing recent threads (only look around this place maybe twice a year) and saw the title. Had to click considering it seems the entire world is full of them. Not all narcissists are so outwardly obvious. There are those who are masters of their environment and have 1,000 subtle ways to demean and hurt those they personally deem weaker than themselves. Their best friends are equal narcissists who will nourish their egoes and status in the world. Also, it seems that political orientation really has no affiliation on how clever some of these people are. Trump is often cited as the most classic example, but I find that liberal minded highly educated narcissists/sociopaths seem to be far more dangerous because they're clever enough to cover it up; they're master chameleons to be honest - where as someone like Trump is just so blatantly unashamed of his personality it matters not to him how it looks to anyone.
    Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.
