An 87 year old man protesting the #WannabeDictator's #BigBirthdayBlowoutBash was taken from his WALKER, handcuffed & arrested in D.C..

When I think of how this #FascistInChief & his #DOGE dumbasses cut funding for Child & Veteran's #cancer #research, then spends $45-MILLION on a #Dictatorship-style military parade in D.C. to fluff the ego of a massive toxic #Narcissist on his birthday, I wonder why more people aren't flooding the streets in #protest. #NoKings

The most potent weapon you have against a #narcissist is #selfRegulation.

Narcissists use #emotions to manipulate you. And a lifetime of doing this made them incredibly adept at this. They will analyse you and figure out which emotional strings they need to pull to play you like an instrument. You'll increasingly loose yourself in increasingly desperate attempts to get on their good side. To get back that person they were in the beginning. Neurologically speaking it's literally an addiction (look up #traumaBond if you don't believe me).

Good self-regulation practices will allow you to become immune to their manipulation. For this you need to become centered in yourself. Which means: you need to face your own #trauma.

However if you manage to do that, then you'll become stronger than you could have ever imagined. Your narc gives you nightmares and makes you feel powerless? You'll begin to see them as a toddler throwing a fit (which is surprisingly accurate, psychologically speaking).

So, my narc ex with whom I co-parent figured out today that I consider them a #narcissist. It was an oopsie on my part (they stumbled across a book I'm reading on narcissism).

They asked me about it. If I'm reading it because of them. I replied that I'm reading it to make sense of my family history and past experiences. To help me grow as a person. No lies but also not the whole truth.

Let's see what happens next. I expect nothing good. I am however surprisingly calm. What can they do? Make me trust them even less? Lol.

Senator's WILD 'We're All Gonna Die' Apology?! (Sarcasm Alert)

Saying the word "apology" over and over means Nothing;
"I AM SORRY" without explaining WHY "I" said what "I" said is "making Amends/apology".
Saying "I apologize" is like the intro for amends?

The Israeli Prayer:
Hamas did it.
And if they didn’t, they made us do it.
And if they didn’t, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, it was justified.
And if it wasn’t, Hamas is still worse.
And if they’re not, you’re anti-Semitic.

The Narcissist’s Prayer:
That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

#DonCapone pardoned The #Chrisleys, 2 #RealityTV stars convicted of Tax Evasion & Bank Fraud.

Sound familiar? We elected one #Potus, so naturally the #NarcissistInChief #pardoned them.

Also pardoned a Convicted #TaxCheat (again, #narcissist) who stole money from his employees that was supposed to go to #MediCare and instead bought himself a luxury yacht.

Given a #Pardon after his mom attended One of #TheGrifterInChief's $1M fundraisers at his Virginia Golf Club.

Well it happened

I'm agreeing with #Kremlin bots

Do the masters of the #troll farm psyop machine in #Russia not know how a #narcissist reacts to being attacked?

Whatever, the #socialMedia slap fight benefits #Ukraine, so I'll be over here eating my popcorn

Talking with a #narcissist about your emotions is a pointless endeavor. Worse: it's dangerous as they'll use this information against you later.

They are not interested in finding a solution that helps all involved parties to emotionally regulate. They are interested in the solution that helps them alone emotionally regulate. Bonus points if they guilt trip you into finding that solution.

Let me be clear: if someone makes you feel guilty about your behavior while refusing to cooperate on finding a solution that works for everyone, that's manipulation. That's emotional abuse.

Someone who truly cares about you would want to resolve the issue in a way that works for both them *and* you.

"Many dismiss these reversals as mere incompetence or poor strategy — and it’s true that narcissism is associated with more impulsive, error-prone decision-making. But anyone familiar with narcissistic abuse understands the deeper maneuver: Whether consciously or not, narcissists hold power by keeping others in a state of psychological whiplash. And it works.

At its core, emotional control is the narcissist’s primary goal: to protect a fragile sense of self-importance and entitlement by maintaining the grand illusion that supports it — without empathy for others. While it’s important to note that narcissistic pathology by no means equates to abuse, there are more aggressive versions that use confusion, despair and emotional bonds like loyalty to control how others think and feel, secure a constant flow of admiration or reactivity, shield themselves from shame and keep others attached — even against their best interests."

HuffPost · I’m A Psychologist Who Specializes In Narcissists. Here’s What We Need To Do To Stop Trump.By Jocelyn Sze

Found this on #reddit. This video is pretty much what played out when I went to go visit my dad on the anniversary of my mom's death last year. My youngest brother shows up, barges into my dad's room and he begins to do this a foot away from me. Not the first time either. He threatened to kill me and then called the cops on me.
And I'm the one who is the estranged, black sheep of the family.
This guy in the video is a sargent. My brother is a firefighter. #mentalhealth #narcissist #picoune
