NARCISSIST TACTICS 2: THE DEATH MASK

 


Again, I am not formally educated or trained in psychology. I had many psychology major friends in college and have been independently studying psychology since middle school.


That having been said, I believe I have identified another tactic that narcissists use: THE DEATH MASK. 


Now to be clear, I am not referring to the emotional blackmail that aging narcissists and non-narcissists employ to get their way. 


This goes beyond lower levels of manipulation. The childlike "will you miss me if I went away?" pales in comparison to this tactic. 


I've noticed in the past 10 years especially that both dementia and autism are being used as a blanket diagnosis to explain away behaviors and mindsets can altered and changed. 


I would just like to point out that just because the origins and mechanics of a somatic (brain chemistry and tissue integral) based mental illness cannot be explained, doesn't mean that all behavior of said afflicted person is excusable. 


I would also like to say that said afflicted person's behavior should be evaluated critically in such a way as to evaluate the validity of control or lack thereof in an objective manner. 


For example: I currently rent a space from a man who some have stated is in the beginning stages of dementia. 

This man has a history of abuse and criminal behavior. He has tried on several occasions to usurp my rights and overstep his bounds. 

I have corrected him at every turn. 

I notice that the behavior has ceased and/or been corrected. 

Which leads me to believe that this man has a level of control over his behavior. He can understand the potential consequences of his actions. He is able to recognize those who will allow his inappropriate behavior and violation of boundaries and those that do not. 

Of course, as an older man he forgets things, is hard of hearing, and has problems with his vision. But all in all he is very much capable of understanding who he can and cannot manipulate.

I believe it is important that we remain vigilant, especially in the unveiling of the saturation and evolution of narcissistic behavior in this evolving culture, in evaluating behavior and responses to boundaries and assertive practices. 

This DEATH MASK can easily be snatched off. The DEATH MASK must be tested and dissolved whenever possible. Whether it be referring to physical death or mental death. 

A man/woman with heart failure of who has suffered a stroke has no right to continue to abuse ANYONE. 

And if they are using dementia as a crutch is IS NOT A PRACTICE OF RESPECT to overlook this behavior. 

Abusers don't deserve a free pass to abuse unaddressed just because they are aging. 


Y'all be safe out here in these narcissistic streets.

Goon Elimination Techniques

If you love martial arts movies like I do then you already know the formula. ....but I'm not here to talk about that today. I showed up to blow up how those poor unfortunate souls tasked with protecting the bad guy get LAID OUT by the hero. 11. The Warning Yell. -Look, y'all bout to get fucked up. This is the emergency get-yo-ass-out the way broadcast system. This is not a test.   10 . Slappin' ya face! -These goons are so low level that an open hand and a yell is all it takes to get them out of the way. Some might mistake these moves for chops or pressure points. Naw, this be straight up pimpin' without the baby powder.  Yeah I know, she is using a shoe. But that shit is still funny!   The real Slap Attack! 9.

While finding themselves dazed and confused their brains are no longer required t...

TRYING ME 05/23/25

  There is this dumb, fake ass bitch at my job has been trying me since I was hired.  She's married, overweight and recently a new mother.  When I was hired, she was pregnant and I thought I would only be at the company until she returned from maternity leave.  Before she left, she made sure to act a complete ass towards me whenever possible.  While training me the Ukraine Russia conflict came up (this was back in the early stages). I made a comment (it was just me and her in the room) generally stating that Russia needs to stop flexing because it is affecting the US economy (and it was because we had to impose shipping fees on our customers etc.). This bitch proceeds to raise her voice and scold me about how people are dying and what not.  I let it go. I didn't say anything to her for 2 reasons:  1. The bitch was so pregnant I didn't want to put her into labor.  2. The bitch was so pregnant she obviously was miserable and cognitively impaired....

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE

I hadn't seen this movie in over 2 decades. When the opening credits began, I felt a deep since of sadness and darkness. I could say it was my sparse memory of the plot and the overall somber mood from the imagery.  I know it was something else. It wasn't until the movie truly began that I was able to identify the source of the sadness.  This being a "cult" film, I knew there would be some disappointments in plot continuity and special effects partially due to the "wholesome" expectations of the time.  Overall it wasn't too disappointing. The story itself is so compelling that no one really cared about the following: 1. How well folded and "pressed" that note looked after Blanche had crumpled it all to hell and threw it out a window when Jane returned it to her.  2. How Blanche had no idea that Jane was stealing money from her until she started serving her dead animals from around the house.  It could be that this plot hole is an artistic refer...
