I had a narcissistic female executive boss. If you kissed her butt you were loved you didnt she suppressed and oppressed you and made you an enemy. Showed favoritism, envy. Was very self-entitled and thought the ppl should put themselves last to serve her. She was quite exploitative but was good at masking it with feminine manipulation. Took me 8 years to figure out who was really under the mask. I never felt comfortable getting close to her no matter how much ppl praised her. This woman didnt know how to handle her power and was unethical in using her sharp ppl skills. She loved the idea of ppl fearing her.

Sorry you went through that. But happy to see, you got it in the end. It’s hard to see through that female mask. Lesson learned: ALWAYS trust your gut instinct :) Hope you found a nicer work environment!

When I was a teenager, I didn't want to live with my narcissistic parents anymore. So they sent me to a farm where young "troublemakers" could work and live with a "Christian" family. Long story short: This "kind and religious" woman turned out to be a very bossy, narcissistic (and slightly sadistic) type of leader. And I turned out to be an expert in terms of narcissists and uncovering their lies ... 🤯💣💥

Saddly, there is lot’s of narcissist in Christians and other. When power, sex or money is popping out in any domains, it’s a deception. Narc’s are evil.

Success unfortunately does not result for the good of all. Same profit always is ruthless.

Experienced this at work. Took me a long time to figure her out - even with my really good radar. It was her trying to use my talent for her purposes, making projects "palatable" to me that would only have helped her and also the malicious way she talked about her daughter ("she's just causing problems with her ADHD") that opened my eyes. She displayed empathy in the right moment, worked for social projects and presented herself as caring and good natured. It’s hard to see through this mask if you are not highly educated on the topic. Thanks for sharing, Sam!

I only had narcissistic female managers and CEOs, and they were horrible to deal with.

It's harder for women to learn the art of power but when they learn it they learn it like nobody else.

The most traumatic experience of my life has been working under an NPD woman. Horrific experience. I disagree with Prof Vaknin's assertion that men are worse.

I would never want to work under a female narcissist. However I'm thinking young attractive men really enjoy them. It just seems like women in powerful positions are highly saxual especially if they are narcissists. I thought I read in a psych book that people in powerful positions and/or people of wealth believe they are more intelligent and saxually attractive than they actually are. Confidence is key, no? I bet a lot of their mates are cuckolds. lol.

😂 don’t forget to sell in the right moment. These story’s always end the same. Maybe they have a few more pages when there is a woman in charge.

Greetings Professor! Request: I noticed you have talked about intelligence (in "relatively" mentally healthy people) in only a couple of videos. Could you please elaborate a little more on high intelligence (high IQ), psychometrics, etc. from your point of view. Are you a member of any high IQ societies? Thank you!

Search the channel for "IQ", for "genius", for "gifted", and for "intelligence".
