Cerebral narcissists: What to look out for [I Want To Spread Narcissism Awareness]

@InkBot Often those who refer to their ex partners as "narcisissists " and "psychopaths" could well be right in their judgement,on the other hand narcissists and psychopaths are well known for spreading a smear campaign on their partners once the partner has managed to get away from their abusive behaviour and has a life of their own.

@berangere I've heard this from so many people, but psychopaths are roughly 1% of the population. I think many people are clueless on what a psychopath really is, as well as most psychological disorders.

@InkBot I am posting a video now,yes the term can be overused,but many people have been truly harmed by people with controlling and insecure personalities,the damage they do can be serious and lasting, they do not have a conscience in what they do to others,if you look in history you will see how many leaders turned out to be tyrants and many still are now, in fact those we call narcissists if not psychopaths are far more numerous in our society then we realise.

@berangere Yes, I studied psychology in school, and I worked with the criminally insane for a few years. If you haven't already, check out some of the work by Dr. Kevin Dutton.

@InkBot Thank you,I will.

@berangere He talks a great deal on successful psychopaths, such as lawyers, surgeons, politicians, and CEOs.

@InkBot Yes, it is scary to know that our lives are often in the hands of those people who are driven to get to the top because of their thirst for power and their sheer determination to get there and their skill in fooling others.

@berangere I believe it was Bill Clinton who scored pretty high on the test (I think 38/40). I'm not sure about the others.

@InkBot @InkBot And also his wife.

@berangere I read this book by Dutton. It's great. Check it out.

@InkBot Yes,sadly success in this world seems to happen more often to those who know how to manipulate others for their own benefit,those who have the "gift of the gab" and have no conscience to stop them,those who can overwhelm others and are skilled in dessembling,truly honest people are not that successful in this world and this it why this world is in such a mess.

@InkBot [quote]He talks a great deal on successful psychopaths, such as lawyers, surgeons, politicians, and CEOs.[/quote] That reminds me the job professions most Narcs will choose are ones where they can control and elicit admiration. Like politics, finance/law, medicine or some type of doctor.

@SW-User Because the more admiration they get the more control they can have.

@berangere Ah I see. Makes sense.

@InkBot Just saw the video interview and it is quite impressive.
