“Male narcissists are misogonists. They desperately seek women yet inwardly despise them. These men are turned on by extreme sexuality yet are perversly disgusted by attractive female attributes, believing women are promiscuous, sexually manipulative and attention seeking. He will often play out a deep subconscious mother-revenge, by running his female partner into the ground. He will destroy her self-esteem, femininity and sexuality piece by piece.”

“Being a coward has nothing to do with the ability to victimize others. Cowardice simply denotes someone who is likely to run away during stressful events or refuse to accept blame for anything they do. This is exactly what some narcissists, not all, do. They use and abuse people, ruin them financially and destroy them emotionally but will never take responsibility for it.”

“It is definitely true that narcissists are cowards. Really the most courageous thing anyone can do in life is to stand in the Truth no matter the consequences. Stand in the truth, speak the truth, advocate for the truth, serve the truth in all things. This is courage. Narcissists are the most cowardly people in the world because they cannot stand in the truth for even one second. They are allergic tio truth. The purpose of life is to grow in love and truth, and the purpose of an narcissists life is to subvert and pervert the purpose of life, to make the purpose instead about serving their tiny, deformed, cowardly selves.”

“Narcissists leave a trail of destruction and betrayal in their victims lives. Destruction of connection to oneself, family, friends and colleagues. Getting away with destroying genuine and good hearted people, ruining their sense of self and capability to trust themselves and others. This is their whole agenda.”
-
“When a narcissist abuse you and finally you react, they tell everyone you’re crazy and that they are devastated you respond like this. They purposely hide their abuse from the public eye, who only sees your breakdown. They are determined to play victim while making you the abuser. They smear your name so that you feel trapped and doubt yourself so they can have you right where they want you to be.”
-
“To me they are all cowards. As harsh as that sounds it’s the truth. They are afraid to face their true selves in order to heal. People every single day go head to head with their darkness while narcs hide behind it. Choosing to be a terror just because they are too weak to face their demons. But yet they have plenty of strength when it comes to trying to use your darkness against you. Definitely cowards in my book.”
-
“If they laughed at another person, it would be to make themselves feel better, to feel superior, and they certainly wouldn’t have a concept that they drove another person crazy, because it would imply there was something wrong with them. For example if they drove a person to commit suicide, they wouldn’t feel any pain or guilt, but rather it would serve as conformation to them that they were right all along, they really were superior, and the one who had something wrong with them was the other person.”

“What narcissists do not want you to know? Insulting and putting people down makes them feel superior. Creating drama and have their victims react, makes them feel powerful. If they cannot get positive attention, they will get negative attention by creating conflict, chaos and starting arguments. Bullying makes them feel powerful, superior and in control. Getting their narcissistic supply always comes first. They love what you can do for them, not who you are. Honestly they do not even care to get to know you. They always need to be right and can never apologize because they have to be superior. Image is everything. They are extremly jealous people hence complimenting another in the presence of a narcissist is like putting them down. They refuse to take accountability for any of their mistakes because that would mean they are not perfect.”

“Anyone can be manipulated by a narcissist, it has nothing to do with your level of intelligence or how many degrees you have. Victims of narcissistic abuse often feel stupid for allowing themselves to be taken advantage of by narcissists. We are not taught to protect ourselves from these predators. We are also not taught the nature of who we are dealing with. Most of us didn't know people like this existed. We were completely unprepared to deal with this insidious manipulatory abuse.”
-
“While you are busy giving them the benefit of the doubt, they are busy secretly trying to ruin your life. A narcissist will do their best to tear you down and break your spirit. You are not their partner, nor are you an equal. To a narcissist you either function as a servant or a competitor. Narcissists are in a constant competition with others, even their family members. Stay away from these people at all costs.”

“Narcissists are great at spotting genuine hard working people and people with talent. However they do not come to encourage it or to collaborate. Narcissists come to steal ideas, creativity and take credit for their victims work. Some narcissists even try to become their victims, however once they find out it is not possible, instead they want to destroy him or her. If a narcissist cannot have or be it, guess what? No one else can.”
-
“Almost all narcissists engage in damage control and stalking. They will even have other people stalking and harassing their victims for years on end. Narcissists want to keep controlling and have power over their victims so they cannot heal, move on, or even dare to speak up about what is happening to them.”
-
“Qualities narcissists look for in their victims: Empathic and giving, loyal and trusting, optimistic, forgiving, self-sacrificing, lack of boundaries, understanding and open-minded, intelligent, supportive and encouraging, people pleasing, traumatic past, creative and talented, motivated and goal oriented, growth oriented, patient, fair and considerate, communicative and apologetic, fun and outgoing”.

“A narcissistic woman will make a horrible spouse and mother as her emotional maturity resembles that of a five year old child. She is cold hearted-calculated, manipulative and exploitative. She will control her partner by utilizing the silent treatment, guilt-trip and withhold affection. Narcissistic women are also deeply insecure and misogynistic, they will go to any length in attempts to destroy the lives of the females who possesses as threats. All while playing emotionally mature, caring and sweet to the outside world. They do this out of envy, in order to get rid of ‘competition’. Be careful and always trust your gut.”
-
“A narcissist is someone who will bully and abuse one or two people usually those who are closest to them. While doing so they wear a mask of displayed niceness to the outside world. That’s why it is so hard to be believed once you open up about their abusive behavior. People will think and say you are lying and make you out to be a villain. They even say you do it for attention”.

“Gaslighting and emotional abuse from a narcissist often come disguised as ‘jokes’ or false concern. It can sound like: I think you need help, It was just a joke, here we go again, you took it the wrong way, you’re imagining things, don’t get upset over nothing. Narcissists know what they are doing, but are too prideful and arrogant to apologize and too cowardly to face themselves.”
