Narcissists/psychopaths (human predators) have what I refer to as:

“Unrelenting attention to personal purpose”!

They just keep pushing & pushing & pushing until they get what they want.

They go way beyond when most people would stop. It could be subtle & slow or very obvious.

One of the problems with getting justice against
narcissists/psychopaths is that they are so good at avoiding
accountability, blocking, delaying, manipulating, lying that by the time they get to court, they're often near to the end of their life.

They spend hardly any time in jail.

They say "Knowledge is power"
Regarding #narcissists/ #psychopaths we have been profoundly deceived.

Dark personalities in research have prevented us getting knowledge we need to identify them. Many so-called experts, the same.

We are fed red herrings too to keep us off the track.

We hear of people being ‘triggered’.
Triggered does not mean stressed or reactive or upset.
In victims of narcissists/psychopaths, triggered means being acutely reminded of the feelings, pain & inescapability of long-term torture.
If someone says they’re triggered, be kind.

To be targeted by a narcissist/psychopath (human predator) is like being trapped in quicksand. It is difficult to get out. The victim is constantly and unwittingly coralled down a particular route where there is no escape and all choices bring sadness or distress.

When you call a narcissist/psychopath out for doing something deceitful, exploitative manipulative, cruel, or harmful…
They will always spin it so you are the problem.
This happens in relationships, families, workplaces, religion.
Same tactic, any context! They do it well too.

Human predators (narcissists/psychopaths) have no sexual boundaries. They may use sexuality to control, manipulate, exploit, leverage, and for their own enjoyment despite hurt or pain to others. Marriage is usually just a cover for their ‘other’ life.

It’s dangerous to believe every person is redeemable.
Human predators (narcissists/psychopaths) have brain anomalies of the pre-frontal cortex & amygdala. They can’t change nor do they want to. They are motivated by control & feel no fear.
They’re like a different sub-species.

Human predators (narcissists/psychopaths) who work as executives, psychologists, priests, doctors, lawyers etc are equally as committed to & capable of destroying their victims as those who murder.
They use equally powerful forms of harm that are not physical.

Prison contains only the failed dark personalities (narcissists/psychopaths).
There are far more outside prison BUT
we have been actively prevented from getting the information we need to recognise them!
My research indicates top researchers are themselves dark personalities!

We are taught:
- turn the other cheek
- forgiveness is a virtue
- be kind.
BUT millions of people are dangerous narcissists/psychopaths who don’t believe in these values.
Being kind & forgiving with everyone will likely get you unnecessarily, seriously harmed.
Be discerning.

It is common for the children of narcissists/psychopaths (human predators) to marry predators. Being parented by a predator produces a vulnerability which other predators see & target. We need to become super efficient at ‘seeing’ predator red flags to stop this harmful cycle.

The eyes of narcissists/psychopaths (human predators) appear to turn black when they do not get what they want.
It is an extreme form of pupil dilation associated with pathological anger.
This is an incredibly scary phenomenon for the target or victim.

Millions of people are born to narcissists/psychopaths. Yet limited academic research exists on the impact of human predators on their children. To be the ‘scapegoat child’ is like being born on the front line of a war.💔😔
Few psychs truly ‘get it’. We need to do better!

Have you seen The Wolf of Wall Street?
Dr Nadine Macaluso is his ex-wife in real life. She’s a therapist.
She has started connecting the attributes & tactics of my Persistent Predatory Personality with her clients’ narcissistic ex-partners, using AI, for court purposes.

I was recently invited onto Brad Carr’s Podcast to discuss human predators.

His bio reads: ‘Brad has interviewed some of the world's most effective leaders, including Navy SEALs, #1 New York Times bestselling authors, CEOs, and more.'

Enjoy!

My great passion is the reduction of harm from dark personalities, including narcissists & psychopaths.
My PhD data provides potentially the most comprehensive nuanced data on those that are higher functioning - executives, cult leaders, surgeons, lawyers, politicians, military, religious leaders.
