Dr. Phil - Psychopath vs Malignant Narcissist

“If you ever start defending yourself with a narcissist, you will never ever stop,” says Dr. Phil in part 4 of the "Toxic Personalities in the Real World” Phil in the Blanks podcast series. “They simply can't be confronted. That's why you can't win an argument with them. They are relentless. They will argue until the end of the Earth.” For the second week, Dr. Phil is examining traits particular to the malignant narcissist, who he says “is the most dangerous narcissist of all!” Learn why it’s vital to get away from a malignant narcissist just as quickly as you can safely do so. And, find out the one big characteristic that Dr. Phil says differentiates the narcissist and the malignant narcissist from the psychopath.

Even if you care, you can't fix them. Run.

I divorced a narcissist. He told me that he would break me emotionally and financially and that he wouldn't stop punishing me until I was a shell of a person and on my knees begging him to stop. You can't imagine a worse feeling than your kids being made to suffer because that is the way to hurt you the most. When you push a narcissist too far, you will quickly learn that you are dealing with the devil.

A narcissistic is a salesman without a product.

[alastairwest]

They cannot or will not self-reflect - this is what makes them dangerous. The problem is ALWAYS someone else; there is no check on their behaviour...

[barbaraadams]

Hey my narc said, "I am sorry." Followed by, "I am not really sorry, but I want this discussion to be done, ". He was ruthless. Run, run, run

[stefaniadiamondcut]

When covert narcissists get called out they tend to lash out, sometimes at friends...don't pay them any mind. The louder they get the easier they become to SEE

Dr. Phil I can’t tell you how important these topics are for public safety. I hope young people receive more training on these types of personalities. So important!

Dr. Phil, this video got me crying. My estranged husband is a convicted murder, kidnapper and escapee. Currently, he is out on parole and out to get me. We have a pending divorce of 4 years now, domestic violence assaults' and I am just trapped. I am praying day and night for my safety and deliverance and freedom. Thank you for this video. It explains a lot. 🙏✊

[isabelwagner]

My narc experience was they were never afraid but was totally paranoid that all were out to get him

[michelleblakeney]

Yes whenever u confront them about something they immediately change the topic! It’s hard to have a serious conversation with them!

[whatsdoin]

Many psychopaths and malignant narcissists exist in your life but may never target you. What Dr. Phil needs to discuss is how to know you are a target - that is the key to being safe.

I was married 12 yrs to a psychopath/narcissist. It was like being in prision!! He was controlling, mental and physically abusive. Back in the '80's, wife abuse was legal. I went to the police station with bruises. They did nothing. I'd call the police. By the time they'd get to my house, he would be gone.
He threatened to shoot himself in the head if I divorced him. Burn the house down if I divorced him.
Cheating constantly. But beating me and saying I was cheating on him. There's too much to write.
Times have changed and laws to protect women. The knowledge we have now is wonderful. Thank you for warning people to run. I was 18, he was 21 when we married. My life is definitely book worthy.
Thanks for your videos.👍

Good books on this disorder:
"Without Conscience"
"The Sociopath Next Door"
"People of the Lie"
"Snakes in Suits"
"The Mask of Sanity"
1 in 25 have AsPD - 1 in 5 CEO's has AsPD. Learn to read the signs. Good luck.

My covert narcissist wife of 45 years has randomly said she'd publicly shame me if we divorced. No matter how kind, patient and caring I've been she seems to time her irrational rages when she senses my guard is down. They remain broken people. There's no appreciation for someone being loyal and supportive. Rages usually happens when she's not the center of attention. Weddings, funerals, vacations, holidays, etc. I've come to dread special occasions.
She somehow learned information about my deceased mother. Probably on Facebook. Anyway, I lost my youngest law enforcement brother of 46 years of age to suicide. One day later I stepped into the house, still in shock, and she gleefully informed me my mother was sexually abused as a child. She then strutted away with her satisfied, narcissistic smirk and darting eyes. She was so pleased with telling me that she was almost floating in air. She had zero empathy for what my mom endured as a child.
Many other situations too. They're monsters.

That's the important thing to learn. Don't make excuses for them, don't ruminate if they'll have a complete breakdown if they run out of supply. Protect yourself! You before the narcissist!

If somebody runs over your foot, it doesn’t matter for the pain and broken bones if that was accidentally or on purpose. The pain is real and it takes a lot of time to heal, go for physiotherapy and the foot will never be the same as it had been before the accident. The damage is done. We must protect ourselves from people who do harm to our body and mind and even get satisfaction from it. Handing somebody a bat to hit us with is insanity!

I noticed with my narcissist ex that he knew people value empathy, so he would put on a show of empathy that fooled a lot of people. But those of us who knew him well knew otherwise. We could see that his reactions were too exaggerated, too forced, and all about how the situation made him feel rather than the one who was actually experiencing the tragedy. I am quite sure he got his reactions straight out of a movie and practiced in front of a mirror :) And when our little boy would celebrate something; a birthday, a graduation, e.g., the spotlight would have to quickly go from our son to him and stay there for the duration. We were just props to him. Divorcing him was the best decision I ever made.

The malignant narcissist is all about fearing everything. It’s horrific how people can live that way 😣

[mbspiders]

There seems to be so many “toxic “ people around or is it because I’m in counselling and dealing with a life-time of trauma I’m more aware of it? Whatever the reason there seems to be a lot of people that show a huge amount of narcissistic disorder.
Again Dr Phil you were one of the catalysts for me to get counselling 🙏💕

[Querencia]

Red flags? Don’t be a fool and become “a broken person in your future.” Do you ignore those ‘odd’ things? Make excuses for them? RUN. Effing RUN. Do not, I repeat - DO NOT LOOK BACK!!! You go no contact. NO contact.
