"High on their own farts." - Grannon, Richard. Gonna remember that one. 😂

[@kathleenwharton2139]

Love it! My xhusband actually loved his own farts! 😊❤

It's the covert that is the hardest to detect You will lose everything

[@beeekaaaay]

You won't lose everything if you pay attention to the red flags. They might get past your front gate, but when they take a poop on your lawn, you call the cops. The red flags will save you.

[@elsh332]

​@brinkearney504 the red flags are much more hidden and insidious with a covert. They do much worse damage to their victims because it goes deeper into their psyche. The emotional and talk manipulation are extra malevolent with the covert because they prey on and twist all the good qualities of humanity in others around them. When you leave - if you manage it at all - then you feel like you are abandoning a helpless child because of how they function. They bleed you of all your compassion and empathy. I literally had a nervous breakdown after my last ex who was a covert narcissist (with a diagnosis, so I am speaking clinically).

[@pickle9753]

@@narckillerinfj coverts are the most dangerous and I’d say they are more likely psychopaths, or at least the ones I’m dealing with are. How does any human fake an entire 7 year relationship, three of those years engaged for marriage??!?!!! I can’t fathom any human other than a complete psychopath doing such a thing

[@theosaka69]

​@@pickle9753Yeahhh. My ex-narc fiance pretended our entire 18-month relationship that he was divorced from his ex-wife when he was actually still married to her (and probably having se.x with her) the whole time. They were actually legally separated, living separate lives, etc but were still Fing around with each other. And she didn't care either. Just 2 horrible people. They should've gotten back together because they deserved each other with their psychological cluster Fck 🐂💩. I still hate him for what he did to me as I was naive, innocent of the facts and had no earthly idea what kind of monster I was dealing with. I was truly in love with him and believed that we would be married. I am still learning about narcissism and how I've been raised by it and surrounded by it my entire life. It's extremely frustrating, disappointing and discouraging, and just makes me want to stay in the house not wanting to be bothered with anyone.

I lost so much, and am still "dealing" with it 4.5 years after he died of metastatic cancer. But I am getting there.

[@chautran2588]

For a disabled person or any vulnerable people out there, it's very easy to tell apart abusers, monkeys, or compassionate individuals from fakers/ bullies who pretend to be loving but in reality they're wolves in sheep's clothing.

[@beeekaaaay]

Not always so easy. Some con artists are very good at what they do. They can slip past one's initial defenses, which is why we have to pay attention to red flags.

[@daryapeppo2359]

As an adhd sufferer I feel those abusers so fast.

[@jdmarr2259]

100%. You know their games & what you once believed about them (until they showed you otherwise) you don't anymore, so they no longer have your belief or trust. You see them for the big BS artist that they are. It used to piss me off (how they were/are) and now I still love them (family) but I went NC because it was like a mob of them drinking the same toxic kool-aid.

[@chautran2588]

@@jdmarr2259 you're spot on. They all learn from the same book. Their behaviors are exactly the same from one narc to another. If you have been with one or two nars, you'll recognize who's who immediately!!!

[@the.toxic.phoenix]

Hmm... I'm not sure it's disabled or vulnerable people. More like people who are more aware of what to look for, and who aren't looking to fill needs that they've not been able to meet themselves so they're trying to fill a void. If you're vigilant and educated and happy on your own, then you can deff spot them quicker. Take things slow. Say no to them and see how they respond, how they act with others etc.

[@beeekaaaay]

That makes it sound like narcissists go around with their noses in the air. But, really, they're very sneaky and very well disguised, most of the time.

[@enednas801]

yeah the covert ones are hard to detect.the overt ones he talks bout here are easier cos they show a crude side from the get go.

[@snowiecat456]

​@@enednas801 I disagree. There are people who are arseholes and bullies and selfish people. Most of them are obvious and these traits are there from day one. Like Richard says just avoid them. True Narcissists are all covert in the beginning. That's how they 'capture' people into their world. There are 9 traits and 6 or more mean you are getting to the dangerous end of the scale. They are the ones who cause the damage.

[@DesertlizzyThe]

That's a covert narc. Many Narcs do act above others. For them to suddenly show friendliness or Kindness is usually to gain something for their agenda. Cant trust the hardest of these Narcs bc you may get back stabbed. They are fake kindness. 😮

[@PixieCropCircleDuster]

I like you Richard, you're like the nightclub Doormen I used to work with in the 1990s who were big on psychology & martial arts, self improvement and playing down their strength & intelligence . Thanks so much. ❤

I even know a narcissist that enjoy his own fart. He farted at workplace and was proud of it how it smells and how long it stay in the room

[@Cheryliiina]

Perfect advice. The covert ones fake being genuine, but if we are honest with ourselves, we'll see it. We just have to be honest with ourselves, and look for authentic people.

[@Might-l5m]

When you get out of a relationship and you are thinking something about it you can't understand your already being more real than they are ever going to be. Abuse is the line. When you care about someone you will never be abusive and evil towards the person.

[@deborahfortin4032]

The lesson I learned over & over again is to listen to your gut even if your logical mind disagrees!!!! Whenever I ignored my gut feelings I always paid the price and found out why. Could have avoided decades of bs if I just had’ve listened and pulled back or waited or ran

[@becsally557]

Down to earth and cool... Is exactly how you would describe the covert father of my kids. How he actually is extremely different. I think your wrong here. He is litterally a pillar of the bisiness community who everyone loves... Yet he abuses me and the kids if we ask for help with anything. Womens refuge played a huge part in me being ok the emotional abuse was so bad.

[@deborahfortin4032]

Yep my ex was the same way. It just killed me over the years trying to figure out if this was really happening and how to change it. But you can’t. Cause these people are not well. You’d have to think like they do and without feeling

[@jdmarr2259]

Cool people, seems to have a lot of ego in them, som of the time. And what is projecting, as some always do instead of being true, and re-sponsable enough, to get a straight answer from. Well well, we are different, because of culture. And some have propped themselves full of themselves, sometimes. Never have they taken a good look on to themselves, and wondered Where did this come from? Or, have had to change, or have had to ask hard (into their own minds) questions, to learn to discern, from what they have been taught or indoctrinated with. Those is a bit hard to feel they are cool, cause coolness, seems to put a mask infront of themselves, some times ;)

O.K. where did I get what I am trying to tell you from your asking. I'm not college educated. I've learned some about narcisism from KZbin. A lot of it from Richard Brannon. I just don't agree with all the hype. Psychology is interesting to me. More though are the teachings of Jesus and my own life experiences.Actual word you say Yes, it is. Now read John1:1-5 in The Bible.Goodbye and Best Wishes!

[@synchronis346]

Please help answer this. This has been on my mind for ages and I just can’t quite work it out. It seems like a part of narcissism is an obsession with hierarchy, status, and ranking. However, to be narcissistic instead of merely confident, means in part to believe you are superior in some way which doesn’t match reality. If a guy in the UFC claims to be a tough guy, he’s not narcissistic, but if I do, I am delusional. But where is that line for each trait? Who decided it? It just seems arbitrary to me. Why are some people “allowed” to feel self confident and others don’t “deserve” it. However, most traits, like toughness, looks, intelligence, personality are not objective measures. To me this makes this a tautology, to consider someone a narcissist, you have to make a ranking of their competence and decide that they “are not as good as they think they are”, which ironically, is a narcissistic judgement to make.

[@kathrynhasty3235]

Hmmm…Interesting analogies. Only slightly off topic, but have you watched The Boys on Prime? 😉

[@synchronis346]

@@kathrynhasty3235 no but I just looked it up and the premise is interesting, how come? And can you answer my question at all?

[@kathrynhasty3235]

I think that one’s own idea of superiority is based on their own personal subjectivity. 🤷‍♀️And once someone thinks they are superior to someone, they might think harming someone that is beneath them is just simply OK, because they’re NOT superior. Pretty much the subject matter of the series.

[@synchronis346]

@@kathrynhasty3235 Okay but I am talking grandiosity or inflated self image here. Being abusive or manipulative or bullying others is a behaviour that is clearly wrong and flows on from low empathy. What I am asking is how it is possible to determine if someone has grandiose self image? Obviously if they say they are the smartest man alive, that’s grandiose. But if they say something like “I’m a very handsome man whom is also very tough and athletic and has a charismatic personality”, how can you differentiate between inflated self image and someone who is high achieving with high confidence? Who gets to decide that the person isn’t good looking enough to warrant describing themselves that way?

[@SRPA476]

I follow someone on twitter. She's a brilliant researcher but, my goodness, what a snob. She talks a fair bit on pathology and n, but doesn't seem to notice her own arrogance, nastiness or inability to have horizontal conversations with people. She must win and shame people in every interaction. Unless you're one of her favourite people, that is. Even in the virtual space, you can feel that toxicity. It's demoralising. Down to earth energy is everything as you get older. Anyone who is super hard work will take years off your life. 😱
