A self-proclaimed narcissistic sociopath has revealed the secret ways people can protect themselves against his manipulation tactics.
The 26-year-old woman, who only uses the name Delta, said she had been professionally diagnosed as a malignant narcissist, which is a type of person who finds joy in controlling others.
He went on to explain that this type of disorder is the most dangerous and decided to share safety tips in hopes of helping the public.
Delta explained that if you want to avoid being humiliated and abused by a malignant narcissist, you should avoid contact if possible or take steps to remove their control over your emotions.
Delta said their viewers on a TikTok video that a malignant narcissist is “actually much more dangerous” than the typical narcissist.
This is because they have a combination of narcissistic personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, paranoia, and sadism (the act of deriving pleasure from inflicting pain on others).
He asked viewers to “please recognize that you are dealing with a potentially very dangerous person,” adding: “We will be crossing boundaries that normal people would not cross.”
Malignant narcissists are more violent, aggressive, paranoid and sadistic than one might expect from a normal narcissist.
“If you generally think of a person as having ASPD or being sadistic, then you need to know and understand the type of person you’re dealing with,” Delta warned.
Delta said in a separate statement video that your past experiences may have contributed to your diagnosis.
She claimed that by the time she was 10, she had been a victim of sex trafficking for years and had allegedly been frequently raped.
Delta added that she also suffers from adult traumas, including poverty, being institutionalized and severe anxiety, adding that her experiences worsened her existing condition which she said had been there since childhood.
1. Gray Rock the Narcissist
Unlike a typical narcissist who exaggerates his or her own importance, malignant narcissists feed on any form of attention they can get, regardless of whether it is positive or negative.
To combat this behavior, Delta advised that people should “roll over” the narcissist by eliminating any and all emotional responses to their actions.
“It’s about making yourself as boring as possible, as uninteresting as possible, without generating any emotional reaction, giving very short yes or no answers – things that won’t allow the malignant narcissist to feed off of your energy,” Delta said.
A person with this disorder enjoys making people act strangely by hurling insults or yelling at the malignant narcissist.
Delta provided the example: “I love it when people dehumanize me. I love it when people snap at me.”
By luring a malignant narcissist into you, you will cause him to lose interest in you because you are boring and do not satisfy his need to get an emotional response from that person, she explained.
“You’re not giving me any kind of narcissistic supply, you’re not stimulating me,” Delta said. “What the hell would I want to do with you?”
While she acknowledged that she can recognize when people are rocking her with gray hair, Delta said most malignant narcissists probably won’t recognize this tactic.
A malignant narcissist will try to exert power and control over you, but there are steps you can take, including giving them the illusion of control, rocking them, and cutting off contact.
2. Give the malignant narcissist the illusion of power and control.
If no contact is not an option, Delta advised viewers to manipulate the malignant narcissist by flipping the script and giving them the illusion of having power and control over them.
The main goal of malignant narcissists “is to gain power and control” over others, but Delta said that by taking away that ability they can protect themselves from their abuse.
“Giving someone the illusion of control is a good thing for power-hungry people who need to be in control, like narcissists,” Delta said.
‘If someone gives me the illusion of being the one in power, even if they’re the puppet master pulling the strings behind the scenes, then I’m much less likely to realize that I’m being manipulated because it’s feeding into my grandiosity.
“They are feeding my ego by putting me in a position of perceived power.”
This can help with your self-preservation, although it is not an ideal option because if the malignant narcissist realizes you are manipulating him, it could have disastrous consequences, he continued.
This could result in what is known as emotional dysregulation – when a malignant narcissist loses his or her control over others, causing them to experience intense mood swings including anger and frustration, according to Psychology today.
Delta warned that giving the illusion of control “is not a long-term solution and your long-term goal should be to have no contact if you are abused.”
3. No contact
The first and most important step you should take when dealing with a malignant narcissist is to completely cut off contact with him, Delta said.
This may be even more important if the person is not trying to overcome their disorder or is not self-aware.
It is especially important to cut all ties if they are being abusive or sadistic towards you, such as belittling, tormenting, or humiliating you.
Malignant narcissists feel and enjoy people’s pain, and get great pleasure from bringing others down, so it’s important to go no contact with them, Delta said.
