@AMAZlNGNATURE I had an amazing experience with this girl after she flew into a window and picked her up hoping she would be okay. As the minutes passed I could feel her getting stronger in my hand then I placed her on my leg. Watching her fly away was such a beautiful sight.

@Ryan_Daigler They do unbelievable things. They know their behavior is so horrendous that no one will believe the victim. They rip their victim’s entire life away from them, they consume every detail of their being to go on to live the life their victim has built. They take everything.

people don’t really understand what evil is until they’ve been victimized by a malignant narcissist. Because what people think is evil, what normal compassionate people perceive as evil is not nearly as bad as what evil really looks like. They are so much worse than most people are prepared to believe and ironically, that’s how they get away with most of their abuse

@Ryan_Daigler What can someone do when being attacked this way?

The goal is to get close enough to: - Gain access to personal information, reputation, and influence. - Undermine trust by spreading subtle lies or planting doubts in others. - Erode the target’s confidence thru increased criticism - Hijack the target’s identity or credibility. Once the narcissist feels they’ve “absorbed” enough value from the target—or sees an opportunity to strike—they flip the narrative. The target becomes the problem: unstable, abusive, selfish, irresponsible, untrustworthy, etc. The narcissist positions themselves as the “true victim” or “better version,” effectively leapfrogging over the target’s social standing. At its core, this is predatory envy in action—not just wanting what someone else has, but wanting to ruin them for having it.

A narcissistic abuse tactic I call “Leapfrogging” is a form of predatory behavior where a narcissist targets someone they envy—often someone who possesses traits, status, or social capital the narcissist lacks or is threatened or envious of. The malignant narcissist makes a conscious decision to destroy or discredit the target before initiating the friendship or connection. The entire relationship is a setup—an infiltration. They study their target, mimic their behavior, and mirror their values, all while planning their psychological ambush. Cont.

@lovewins11011 This happened to me 2 nights ago. Absolutely mind blowing. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤯

🚩A narcissist will ask for examples of their asshole behavior and then accuse you of “living in the past” when providing examples. Why do they do this? It gives the impression they want to change but it’s a manipulation tactic to create conflict. Narcissists love when the focus is on them regardless of the reason. If you get upset, scream or cry they love it even more bc it means they got to you. What can you do? Don’t take their bait. I know it’s easier said than done sometimes.

@DontCallMeDebby It was me, Deb. I needed this. Thank you!❤️🪈🎄

Someone needs this. I’m just not sure who.

@Ryan_Daigler Thank you for posting this. I appreciate you exposing this with such great clarity. It describes everything that I am experiencing. I haven’t been able to find the words to describe what living this feels like as it seems so unbelievable at times.

Healthy people assume: * Lies have limits * Shame will slow someone down * Truth will eventually matter With a malignant narcissist under injury, none of that applies. What you’re seeing is: A person willing to sacrifice reality To preserve a false self With zero proportionality That disconnect is what triggers fear on a gut level. Your nervous system recognizes: “This person is not bound by normal constraints.” And that recognition is accurate.

When a malignant narcissist experiences a narcissistic injury—even from something as simple as someone setting a boundary or calling them out—they usually respond in a way that is intense, defensive, and often destructive. Here’s a breakdown of what happens internally and behaviorally: Internal Reaction 1. Shattered Self-Image: Malignant narcissists have an inflated, yet extremely fragile, self-image. Any challenge—even minor—feels like an existential threat. A simple boundary or confrontation triggers a perception that their superiority or control is being undermined. 2. Emotional Flood: They experience strong emotions like rage, humiliation, envy, and vindictiveness. Unlike a healthy person, they rarely process this rationally—they react impulsively to protect their ego. 3. Cognitive Distortion: Their mind begins to twist reality. They reinterpret the other person’s behavior as an attack, betrayal, or personal humiliation. This is why even neutral boundaries can be framed as aggression or sabotage.

@andraizaamy5 I needed this reminder today. Thank you!

When the sky reflects both sunset and stars, we realize endings and beginnings can exist together.

Sometimes...

@Ryan_Daigler Currently trying to wrap my head around it.

I think it’s hard for most people to understand just how deceptive and manipulative narcissists really are until they’ve been victimized by one and see the mask come off. And even then, it’s hard to believe.

@Ryan_Daigler This is currently happening to me. It is bizarre and unsettling.

A very disturbing trait of narcissists, typically those with strong envy and psychopathic tendencies, is their ability to mimic the people they envy/hate while simultaneously trying to destroy them. Often called mirroring, where a narcissist mimics someone else's personality, mannerisms, interests, and even life choices. This isn’t done out of admiration but rather out of a need to consume that person’s identity and then replace them. It’s almost like psychological identity theft. They attack the very person they are copying. It is profoundly disturbing when you witness someone doing this to you.

@Ryan_Daigler @MSLA277 What are the more toxic reasons?

@MSLA277 Too often, yes, but there are also other toxic people who align w them for more toxic reasons

When a covert narcissist meets someone they can't manipulate, someone who sees through them, they don't back off quietly — they retaliate. They’ll often smear that person as “crazy,” “rude,” or “unstable” to discredit them. Why? Because someone who sees through their mask becomes a threat to their false image— and they attack anyone who threatens their facade.

@linda_vardy @Ryan_Daigler This is completely accurate. To watch their face fall when they think they are going to have a “gotcha” moment and they don’t receive the reaction they were hoping for is a huge give away.

@Ryan_Daigler I sat back and observed for two years with bf Habitual habits dead give away They lose their ability to give up their habits and it gives them away ❤️⚓️❤️ Sit back observe starting notice in patterns it won’t take long

Narcissists actually think their ability to lie and manipulate makes them smart and skillful. As if being “good” at being abusive is something to be proud of. There’s a reason why the rest of us don’t engage in that sort of behavior…and it’s not because we’re stupid

@AnneJoLee @Ryan_Daigler I completely agree. Also, from what I am observing in my situation, I think some “ignore” the behavior from fear of being the next target. They see what happens to the person who calls out the narc for their poor behavior.

@Ryan_Daigler It's super weird to watch people, an entire community, just ignore or encourage the behavior though.

@Ryan_Daigler Yes, their bad behavior is allowed and never confronted, completely unchecked. Once someone finally confronts them, they get slandered and bullied. Everyone around them says “that’s just how they are” and you are told to “turn the other cheek, forgive”. Ridiculous.

I’m really tired of the honest people being held to a higher standard than the dishonest malignant narcissists who seemed to be allowed just get away with anything.

@notsaries Have you ever had Epstein Barr Virus? It can reactivate, if so. Also, have your heart checked along with the other blood work. I hope you have answers soon! Take care of yourself!

@SyzgEle I hope you are okay. I am currently dealing with someone like this and the escalation has me fearful.

Being obsessed with hurting someone who did nothing wrong to you is demonic possession

@Pamelaanderso4 Thank you for posting this. I needed to see this today.

@Ryan_Daigler Currently living this, glad to know what it is called. I’ve been making myself crazy trying to figure out what is going on and this describes it exactly. Thank you!

@HakimBawa Omg. I had to do these today in physical therapy. Definitely challenging!
