Actions prove who someone is, words just prove who they want to be. -@segalink

People of integrity do not hide their reactions or opinions, they do not manipulate others through deception, and they do not pretend.

The Narcissist’s emotional maturity development has become paralyzed somewhere between the age of five and seven years of age (If they still have mothers, she can confirm this).

They usually do not have the ability to have “observing ego”, therefore they are prone to “knee jerk” reactions that are aggressive, abusive, violent, and vengeful that emotionally stable and healthy adults simply don’t do.

The narcissist doesn’t learn how their behavior affects other people, despite the people they lose, or disasters they create. Interestingly when people leave their toxic circle, they are quickly deemed as enemies trying to pull them down. They spin destructive narratives just to manipulate people’s perception of those that chose to say no to abuse.

There is always a justification or an excuse for the behavior. The classic narcissistic admittance of bad behavior is; “I did it because I was angry” and the narcissist truly believes this is reason enough, regardless of the damage, distrust and consequences created. Empathy is non-existent toward the severely damaged individuals lined up during a tirade. Trust me it’s not personal: sadly Narcissists simply don’t have the inner resources to feel anything but their own pain. ⛱
