This list explains the similarities between narcissists/ sociopaths/ psychopaths. And I am glad Dr Phil rightly terms this – evil.
I agree with this list and sadly, it explains the similarities between all those who have abused/harmed me. And it even explains a woman I recently worked out is a narcissist. They all fit many of the behaviours and personality traits.
Dr. Phil also speaks continually, about not giving people ‘the benefit of the doubt’, because this is very unwise and potentially dangerous. Due to the amount of disordered/toxic people out there.
It is wisdom to not ignore potential issues in people. It is wisdom to sit back and watch their behaviour over time, to discern who they are and what their motivations are.

cognitive dissonance – when we want to see that someone is doing good, but they are doing BAD, but dressed up as Churchlady- and we are in Denial…..causes mental confusion, and makes us think and feel there is something wrong with US. Finally figured that out….GASLIGHTING IS EVIL.

All forms of abuse, all the tactics narcissists and toxic disordered people use, are forms of evil. This is why they cause such suffering.
I feel sad for anyone who has endured this.
Lots of self compassion, is needed.

TIME is all we have. You are so fortunate to be aware of many issues…..I am dealing with my adult son now. Things I missed when he was young, because I was Unaware…..in the twilight zone. I sent him to the best schools, but that does not replace being abandoned by his father.. Now I am doing Double Time with him…..trying to repair the damage done in his life.
