Wow! I've never seen this type of person (malignant narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths) called out so specifically and accurately as in this list of modus operandi traits you may recognize from some of your interactions with family, "friends" or acquaintances. Good to know, so you can recognize what's happening before the worst "psychic whacks" occur, so you can disengage and save yourself a lot of unnecessary grief. ~PB

I’d usually just reblog this one, but the reblog format is funky. So I’m just going to say this: Shahida Arabi, via her Self-Care Haven blog, recently posted an excellent summary of 20 often-used Bully and NarciPath tactics.
The point isn’t to shame and blame — ’nuffa that going on — but to recognize the tactics and patterns so we can more easily step outside of them and respond rather than react from a place of awareness and greater resourcefulness.
That can be tall practice, but it’s worthwhile … particularly as we see the Bully Narcipath archetype in its full, gnarly expression pretty often these days.
Thanks, Shahida — as we know, shining the spotlight on these helps us to walk The Beauty Way of Relating, and be more compassionate, graceful, and skillful.
