Yes, they know what they are doing, mainly if they have acquired intellectual knowledge in psychology. They become authentic monsters. Unfortunately, I have helped create a few of these monsters by sharing freely with some malignant narcissists close to me my psychological discoveries.
While narcissists may be aware of their actions, due to a lack of self-awareness and empathy, they often don't fully understand the negative impact their behavior has on others, meaning they may not fully grasp the harmful nature of their actions, even if they are consciously engaging in them; essentially, they "know what they are doing" but may not recognize the moral implications of their behavior.
Key points to consider:
Lack of self-awareness:
Narcissists often lack the necessary introspection to fully recognize their own behavior as problematic or harmful to others.
Distorted perception:
Their inflated sense of self-importance can lead to a skewed perception of their actions, justifying their behavior as appropriate or even necessary.
Manipulation and strategy:
While they may be aware of their manipulative tactics, they often rationalize them as necessary to achieve their goals.
I'm not mad, I'm done;
I'm not mad; I'm done. That's what people don't understand; I'm not mad at anyone; I'm just done. Done dealing with situations that rob me of my peace.
I'm done dealing with people who don't love me as I love them. Don't try as hard as I try, and don't put in the effort that I put in.
I'm just done. That's it.
Yes, they are corrupted to the core. Some lie by staying silent or by omission by not sharing information that could be helpful to others. They are liars by omission. I know someone who tells you that she doesn't lie, but she is just as much of a liar as the people she accuses of lying.
They don't feel safe and secure by themselves. And they don't trust themselves. The people we need to trust the most are ourselves, not others.
Yep!
Yep
Yep!
"Children of Narcissistic parents who don't become extreme narcissists themselves but become highly sensitive, honest, and intuitive are some of the strongest people to walk this earth. Their entire life is often devoted to healing wounds they never asked for.
Narcissists think they can do whatever they want and don't have to follow rules. They think they are Above the Law and Above God. You, on the other hand, are expected to follow the rules. Double standards. This is their way to suppress you and maintain complete control.
Covert Female Narcissists seek out partners whom they perceive as superior to themselves in various aspects, such as physical appearance, financial status, and other traits. Although this may enhance their public image and reputation, it reinforces their inner insecurities and fear of abandonment. As a result, they tend to undermine your self-confidence and self-worth to prevent you from realizing your true value and seeking a better partner.
Narcissists, Sociopaths, and Psychopaths set people up for failure. They enjoy trying to prove a victim wrong and embarrassing them.
Example? A psychologically abusive person will intentionally give incorrect information, stand back to watch the victim take the bait (lie), and then mock, shame, criticize, and abuse the victim for doing the "wrong" thing. This is done to bring further validity to the smear campaign they have going and to make the toxic person look like they are the one being harmed. Toxic people will go to elaborate lengths to set up a victim -Shannon Thomas (yes, they do!)
Narcissists don't marry for love, connection, or partnership-they marry for control. To them, a spouse isn't a companion but a carefully chosen target: a slave to serve their endless demands, a scapegoat for their inner hatred. Marriage becomes their stage, where they can degrade, manipulate, and siphon your energy to fuel their fragile sense of superiority. It's not about building a life together but building a throne where they reign, and you are there to serve and obey. -Jill Wise ( (That's what happens in many families around the world! As the family is, so is the rest of the world! As we constantly witness malignant narcissists being elected into the highest office)
What Narcissists Do When They Get Caught
1. Rage and have a tantrum.
2. Tell a sob story and use it as an excuse
3. Deny, even with proof in front of them.
4. Lie, gaslight, confuse, or manipulate.
5. Deflect and bring up your own wrongdoings, making it about you.
6. Create a smear campaign, twisting the facts before you can tell the truth.
7. Turn everything around and blame you, getting angry at you or being upset with them.
8. Punish you for calling them out (silent treatment, etc.).
No matter how pleasant a toxic person may behave for a short period of time, they will almost always return to their baseline abusive behaviors. ANDY WARHOL
Walk away when :
• They think you're arguing every time you express yourself
• They dismiss, minimize, or invalidate you
• They are committed to misunderstanding you
• They shame you when speaking your heart & mind
• They gaslight, stonewall, or manipulate you
• They are indifferent to your presence in their life
• They are unwilling to show empathy when you are vulnerable
• There is a lack of equal energetic reciprocity
• They withhold, withdraw and withstand love
