About this listen

In the realm of human psychology, narcissists occupy a unique position. Parading a high sense of self-importance, they relentlessly seek admiration and validation. To the world, they present an image of extreme confidence, but paradoxically, they harbor a vulnerable, brittle and low self-esteem beneath their veneer of grandiosity.

Narcissists, ingrained with remarkable cunning, artfully craft a charismatic image, leveraging it to bend reality to their will. But don't be fooled! Hiding right behind that alluring façade, they are emotionally abusive, rooted in a deep-seated insecurity.

Engaging in arguments fuels the narcissist. They use contention as a medium to exert control over others and bolster their power and sense of self-importance. They thrive on victory, deliberately sparking conflicts, leaving those entangled with them drained, defeated, and confused.

Their aim is to absolve themselves of any fault, shifting it onto you using:

  • Manipulation
  • Defensiveness
  • Mockery
  • Blame-Shifting
  • Gaslighting

In this book, we dissect each form of abuse, delving into the narcissist's verbal ammunition, and more importantly, equipping you with 20 retorts to halt their attacks.

By the end of this journey, you'll comprehend the most common abusive phrases, discerning their real meaning and the narcissist's motivations. With your newfound knowledge, you'll be ready to dodge their advances and stop confrontations cold, all with minimal stress, preserving your dignity as you disengage from the narcissist in your life.
