A Malignant Narcissist disorder is a combination of narcissism, aggression, sadism and anti-social personality disorder. There are many traits that are associated with Malignant Narcissist disorder none of them are good. Recognizing the traits can help with early intervention strategies and help you to get out of a relationship before too much time is invested.
Most of people that have Malignant Narcissist disorder are highly intelligent so they can easily hide their negative personality traits. They take pleasure in causing other people emotional and even physical pain. Their behavior is usually very verbose with grandiose self-image.
1. Pathological Liar
One of the key traits that are ascribed to someone with Malignant Narcissist disorder is their ability to deceive other people. They are very convincing liars and may actually be able to even convince themselves that they what they are saying is true.
They cause constant chaos so that the truth is very hard to unveil because the people around them are swept up in a whirlwind of chaos. Even if you catch them in a lie and have bona fide proof that they are misleading you, it will very rarely result in a confession most of the time it will result in an aggressive argument.
2. Contract Breakers
Anyone that has this personality disorder will agree to just about anything but will very rarely stick to the agreement. They enjoy the chaos of broken promises and enjoy having to fight it out.
3. Charismatic
As a means to an end the Malignant Narcissist has an extra amount of charisma and can easily turn on their charm to suck people in to get what they need. They do not have a lot of regard for people and zero empathy for others but can easily play the role of someone that does if they see that it will further their own success.
4. Hyper Sexual
The Malignant Narcissist is often hyper sexual. They are often impulsive when it comes to sexual acts. They also do not seem to have a filter when it comes to talking about their sexual conquest; this is true both of males and females. This personality disorder has been associated with sexual crimes like incest, rape and molestation.
5. Blaming Behaviors
The Malignant Narcissist has a litany of people to blame in their arsenal. They will blame partners, children, parents, coworkers, teachers just about anyone that they can. They have a litany of excuses at hand as well. They very rarely fail (according to their own accounts) so if they do it is because someone else did not do their job.
6. The Rage
There is a predisposition with this personality disorder for a sense of rage and violent verbose outbursts when they are questioned or pinned in a corner. The outbursts can be an emotional attack that includes name calling and using whatever ammunition they have collected during their relationship with others. In other words if a Malignant Narcissist thinks they know something that is going to hurt your feelings they will certainly use it if you have the nerve to question them or their authority over the situation.
The Dangerous Malignant Narcissist
In most cases the Malignant Narcissist is nothing more than a source of aggravation for many people but there are cases where violent behavior is present and it is typically directed at spouses, children and other family members.
The poor impulse control and lack of empathy for others that is associated with this disorder can easily turn someone into a person that is violent, aggressive and not very remorseful for it.
Look for the Calling Card
Most people that are malignant narcissist actually realize that they are not the best kind of people and often will forewarn people that they are getting involved with that they should “watch out” or will let people know that they are not someone they want to get involved with.
Unfortunately many people just blow off these statements and think of it as flirting or some type of teasing. The reality is people always show you who they are and keeping your eyes and ears open is a great way to avoid getting involved with a malignant narcissist.
Getting Help
If you believe that you have some of these traits and you want to change things you can. You can get psychotherapy that can help you to talk through your feelings and see what steps you can take the make the changes.
If you are involved with a malignant narcissist it is not your battle. Getting someone to see the error of their ways is not really a possibility with someone that has this type of personality disorder. They are very intelligent and know that you want them to agree to getting some therapy, they will agree to it, remember they are contract breakers. They will agree but there is very little chance that they will see it through.
