The narcissist is the ultimate soul crusher. He strategically locates and selects his prey. He usually preys on the weak, the broken and the empathetic and sympathetic. He loves people who don’t believe in guns or violence, because he knows that he can control them without them putting up much of a fuss. The narcissist is a weakling beneath his tough exterior, thus you can believe that he will run if a male who is tougher than him challenges him.

He also won’t mess with a tough female who has a significant following. He will pick out the introverted, the shy, and the females who are low in their own sense of self-worth. The narcissist will pick out the ones who are wavering in their own beliefs and morals. After all, these are the ones that will be the most easily manipulated, abused, put down, and controlled.

Most narcissists fit into the dark triad trifecta. They are lumped in and classified with sadists, psychopaths, and serial killers. Most mental health disorders and psychological syndromes have the traits of self-centeredness and the low agreeableness associated with the dark triad personality types. The dark triad personality types fall low on the Big 5 Personality Types in the agreeableness feature. Thus, the narcissist is extremely easy to call out on his narcissism. He is the most disagreeable and fussy character in all the bunch.

This audiobook refers to the narcissist as your partner. It refers to him as being male. However, narcissists can be female or even androgynous.
