A concise guide to the single, repeatedly stated rule from HG Tudor’s Golden Rules series: once you recognise narcissistic entanglement, leave immediately and build deliberate logic-based defences against emotional thinking.

Change. Dangled by the cruel mistress that is Eternal Hope, the possibility of change, the prospect of alteration and the desire to be there when it happens is a key manifestation of the emotional thinking that keeps a victim ensnared to the narcissist. There can be no change. The Lesser Narcissist has no idea what […]

It’s probably very basic that he’s a free speech absolutist, when it comes to his free speech. He doesn’t feel that there should be any constraint on him at all.

Understanding the narcissist is the key to achieving freedom from his or her manipulative wiles. Few people achieve it because the world view of the narcissist is distinctly different from that of other people. People make the mistake of regarding the actions and words of the narcissist from their own perspective. Once
