Victim, Narcissist: Reality or Role-playing? (Role Theory)
Within the shared fantasy, the narcissist assigns to you the role of a victim. But he sets you up for failure because he needs to devalue you, allowing him to separate-individuate from you as a maternal figure.

Charlatan Self-styled "Experts" CORRECTED
Listen up self-styled “experts”: narcissistic mortification and narcissistic injury are NOT the same thing, collapsed narcissist and failed Narcissist are NOT the same issue. There is no such thing as “disassociation” – only dissociation. Dark triad personalities are people who CANNOT be diagnosed as narcissists and psychopaths. Get it?

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a serious, often undiagnosed condition, frequently related to abuse in childhood.
In many cases the disorder compels the sufferer to become the abuser in turn.
Once almost unheard of, pathological narcissism is now considered to be at the heart of phenomena as diverse as corporate malfeasance, workplace bullying, the emergence of murderous dictatorships, domestic violence, and serial killings.
I am Sam Vaknin, author of "Malignant Self-love: Narcissism Revisited" , a work of reference about Narcissistic Personality Disorder and other books about personality disorders.
I have been studying pathological, malignant narcissism for two decades now, mostly in the following contexts:
I. Corporate settings and in Politics
II. Abusive and Dysfunctional relationships

Self-hoovering, Narcissism: Trauma or Role Play?
No contact except in hoovering?
Narcissists in stable long-term relationships do not discard? Self-hoovering as trauma bonding response, island of stability: habituated automatic hoovering.
But self-hoovering can be unlearned, narcissism cannot.
NPD is both a post-traumatic condition and a role play.
Grandiosity (cognitive distortion), shared fantasy (fantasy defense), lack of empathy, and some traits are fixtures.
But their expression is acquired, a role play. Behavior modification is common in therapy, army, prison, hospital (total institutions).

Negative Hoovering, Narcissistic Probing: YOU, the Enemy (Persecutory Object)
Narcissists attend therapy after collapse or mortification when the grandiose defenses against their vulnerability crumble.
One example of this hybridity (grandiose/vulnerable) is Hoovering.
Narcissist cannot countenance rejection, needs to make sure of the outcomes and resolve cognitive dissonance.
Lovebombing and grooming are forms of probing.
Narcissistic abuse as probing (will she loved me unconditionally, as a mother would?)
Probing via third parties, flying monkeys, in various settings.
Social media stalking as probing.

Narcissist's Hellscape Childhood (Short Story)
Mother tells me not to say anything at school about what is happening at home. Nothing is happening at home. Come morning, I wake up from my restless sleep and either I wetted my bed or I didn't. If I did, mother silently packs off my soaked pajamas and the damp sheets, casting a harsh glance at the black stain that seeps into the bed's upholstery. The house already reeks and she opens the shutters and lays the linen on the window panes, half out and the dry half in.

Narcissist’s Grim Fairy Tale
Narcissist’s shared fantasy involves regression and infantilization. It is a fairy tale for children.
WATCH Narcissist’s False Self: Primates, Perverts, Serpents, God https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfjvYo_Dag8
Fairy take-like Fantasy is codified and structured enchantment.
Similar to dreaming, fantasy uses symbolic language and magical spells (wish fulfillment is one such spell) and is nonsensical (unreal, involves magical thinking).
Like the fairy tales that they are, fantasies are “magic mirrors which reflect some aspects of our inner world, and of the steps required by our evolution from immaturity to maturity”.
In the narcissist’s shared fantasy, both his intimate partner and himself are nurturing mothers (dual mothership) – and both are infants. He aims to transition to adulthood via separation-individuation.
Like the Heroes in fairy tales, like Hercules, he passes tests and accomplishes tasks assigned to him by the gods (False Self).
The narcissist splits: he is all good. Witches and usurper kings in fairy tales are all bad, for example.
Initially, both he and his extension are all good and the rest of the world is all bad (it is a rejection of life) but then – as his intimate partner acts in and on the world – she gets “contaminated”, she brings the world into the fantasy as a third party, and is thus rendered all bad, frustrating, and rejecting.
The narcissist sublimates aggression via the shared fantasy by displacing it onto his intimate partner (devaluation), by acting passive-aggressively, or by fantasizing about revenge and justice restored. These are the behavioral precursors of separation-individuation.
The narrative of the fantasy includes God, Death, and Life voices
WATCH Resist When Narcissist Triggers Your Inner Voices (Death, God, Life Introjects) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxzWF8exZio
Death voice (bad object): You are not lovable, unworthy, inadequate, failure, better off dead. Can be loved and deserving of life only if perfect (impossible) Terrified of failure (performance anxiety), the narcissist rejects, disowns, sabotages, and avoids all aspects of life, rendering himself invulnerable by being dead within and without as a form of rigid, proud, defiant, sadistically self-punitive and self-denying ideology. S/he acts entitled and contemptuous (e.g., celibate).
He gives up on and denies his body, health, sex, romance, intimacy, all positive emotions, relationships, family, academic degrees, career, country, language, success, reputation, business, social life, fans, and friends.
With nothing left to take, death voice is appeased and ameliorated by my proximity to actual death, its mission accomplished and it is placated, content to let the narcissist decay and decompose inertly.
God voice: Grandiose, magical thinking, mental illness (cruel false self) eroded by reality (injuries, mortifications).
Life voice: Creativity and cooperation are intermittent, haphazard, corroded by aging and is often too late, failing the narcissist amid cognitive decline.

When YOU Discard the Narcissist FIRST
Being discarded: injury or mortification?
Perceived as rejecting, frustrating (real) mother: retraumatization, decompensation, acting out, dissociation
Separation insecurity: restoring object constancy owing to introject dissonance (stalking and hoovering)
Reframing: internal (grandiose) or external (persecutory)
Grief stages: mourning the shared fantasy
Substitution (replace): isomorphic or dissimilar
Completion of disrupted shared fantasy (repetition compulsion)

Narcissist: You Should Read My Mind!
Mind reading is a test of maternal symbiosis and unconditional love (the non-verbalized unspoken content of the narcissist’s mind do not deter the accessing partner). It is proof of a grandiose and anxiolytic mind-meld (“I am the world”).
Not telepathy but internal object communication: partner is an extension (hyperreflexivity)
Failure to mind read provokes frustration-aggression but also anxiety because it challenges the maternal object and extensionality/intensionality of external objects/extrojects.
The narcissist specifies the internal content that he attributes to an external object (solely his projections, a clone of the narcissist’s mind) and the null set of all possible instances of the external object (the narcissist and the external object are one, coextensive).
Failure at mind reading implies that the external object possesses content that is not identical to the content of the narcissist’s mind and is, therefore, separate. This provokes separation insecurity (abandonment anxiety owing to a lack of object constancy/permanence).
Similarly, a failure at mind reading implies that the external object is unique, not a clone and therefore not interchangeable or fungible.
CONCEPTS
intension and extension, in logic, correlative words that indicate the reference of a term or concept: “intension” indicates the internal content of a term or concept that constitutes its formal definition; and “extension” indicates its range of applicability by naming the particular objects that it denotes. For instance, the intension of “ship” as a substantive is “vehicle for conveyance on water,” whereas its extension embraces such things as cargo ships, passenger ships, battleships, and sailing ships. The distinction between intension and extension is not the same as that between connotation and denotation.
In mathematical sets, the null set is a set that does not contain any values or elements. It is expressed as { } and denoted using the Greek letter ∅ (phi). A null set is also known as an empty set or void set. There is only one null set because, logically, there's only one way that a set can contain nothing.

Message To Mentally Ill: You are Doing the Best You Can!
The mentally ill are a fraternity of brothers and sisters all around the globe.
No one can truly understand the desperate doomed attempt to make sense of the world, of others, of ourselves - to no avail.
Cancer of the soul for life, our constant companion
Learn to forgive yourself - you are doing the best you can but you are disabled
Forgive them for they know not what they are doing and they are afraid of you and infuriated at your shortcomings which deny them their dreams.
Aspire to do better, to succeed, to surmount your handicap - but welcome defeat and embrace failure as the fixtures of your life
Grieve not for who and what you could have been and rejoice that you are despite all odds

What’s Wrong with Our Dystopian World (Mother of All Rants 05:56)
(Rant starts 05:56) Sado-masochism applies to non-romantic relationships as well: same dynamic of using sadism to provoke reactive abuse for masochistic supply.
The narcissist is the cause of the reactive abuse, he makes it happen. So, it enhances his sense of omnipotence (grandiosity) - the opposite of narcissistic injury.
Source of cognitive distortions such as grandiosity or catastrophizing (both predispose to depression) could be: compensatory to early childhood abuse and trauma; brain abnormalities; societal anomie; technology; peer pressure and conformity; fatalistic, defeatist, or deterministic culture; or expectations (esp. of significant others).
RANT
If you give flowers to a woman on a first date you may end up in prison as a sexist lovebomber.
But if you recommend suicide to a patient, you get paid for a therapy session.
If you befriend people IRL, you are a mentally ill codependent people pleaser.
But if you befriend them online, you are cool and hip.
If you read books, you are an incel nerd.
But if you play video games, you fit in and fun to be with.
If you speak the truth, you can be sued.
If you flatter and cajole and fake and bullshit, you are a global guru.
Sex is meaningless and casual, promiscuity is an accomplishment, virginity a repellent liability, adultery is universal and fun;
Divorce and reciprocal abuse are the norms in all manner of so called "relationships", intimacy is threatening, courting is harassment;
Expertise is suspect, mocked, and rejected;
Charitable acts are vile conspiracies, technology is slavery, erudition is derided, truthism and malignant grandiose egalitarianism abound;
Entitlement pervades; career criminals are martyrs, law enforcement monsters, con artists and actors rule and rock;
Social interactions and sexuality are vanishing, loneliness is in vogue;
The occult, the paranoid, and the irrational are considered superior to science and rationality, books and learning are niche pursuits;
Birthrates tumbled under the replacement rate, marriage and parenthood are widely shunned and frowned upon;
Only the virtual is real, censorship is praised, rabid and escalated self-promotion touted;
Plutodemocracies and authoritarian psychopaths govern, poverty, hardship, and sickness the norm worldwide.
And this was before Nature declared war on us.
I count my blessings: I don't have much longer to live. This is one planet I would be delighted to check out of. It is not mine and I have no idea how I ended up here. I want to go home.
I hate this brave, new world where:
Illiteracy is 140 characters long and has a face-book;
Everyone has a thousand virtual "friends", but virtually no real friend;
Every child has a mother and multiple fathers, but no parents;
Knowledge is a matter of opinion and opinions a matter of fads;
Our idols sport muscles and vocal cords, but little else besides;
The right to vote is universal, but the will to vote is not;
Everyone has a right to free speech, but little of value to say;
Extramarital sex is considered recreation and monogamy a throwback;
The only ideology is self-gratification and collectives are mere dim memories;
The only certainty is uncertainty and the only permanent fixture is change (for change's sake);
Obsolescence is the driver of innovation, but science, art, and literature are obsolete;
As men and women lose their traditional roles, confusion and inter-gender enmity reign. In a unisex world, homosexuality, or sexual abstinence are rational choices. As malignant, narcissistic individualism is on the rise, the species is dying out. In many countries - including major ones such as Japan, Russia, and Germany - the population is declining precipitously.
More than one third of the youth of these places opt for celibacy and singlehood. Sperm counts have plummeted by a whopping 70%.
We are in the throes of vanishing.

Why Narcissist Hates Good Partners: Sado-maso "Love" (plus Mood Disorders)
WATCH Narcissist’s Betrayal Fantasy: Painful Mommy Separation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF7mvEbaNEA
WATCH Narcissist Pays Heavy Price for Betrayal Fantasy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mq1NA3WGRZ0
WATCH Masochistic Covert Antinarcissist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXK2Latm6Is
Narcissist's "love" is sado-masochistic because of early childhood conditioning to associate love with betrayal, withdrawal, avoidance, hurt, and frustration-aggression.
In childhood, the aggression is internalized. Hence the masochism.
The narcissist needs to coerce the partner to hurt him within the fantasy framework role of her maternal reenactment. Hence the abuse (projective identification and reaction formation).
The narcissist's sadism is self-punitive and anticipatory: it engenders the very masochistic pleasure of being punished and agonized. This is sadistic supply.
The partner's compliant submissiveness or refusal to engage in her assigned role is perceived as a passive-aggressive denial of gratification and leads to the escalation of abusive sadism.
Submissiveness also leads to escalation owing to growing tolerance and desensitization.
A reactively abusive (or plain abusive or predatory) partner is perceived as maternally loving and caring. This ameliorates the narcissist's abuse but creates abandonment anxiety and infantile (regressive) dependency on masochistic supply.
So, the narcissist is in one of two states in the shared fantasy: sado-masochistically gratified by a punitive mother figure - or sado-masochistically frustrated by a truly loving mature partner.
The former leads to attachment, cathexis, and dependency and then to attempted separation-individuation from the maternal figure via devaluation and discard.
The latter leads to sadistic and coercive narcissistic abuse and a power play. The narcissist must have his way or annihilate the frustrating object.
MOOD DISORDERS
Mood disorders exist when the changes in mood are not secondary, not mediated via a cognitive distortion, such as grandiosity or catastrophizing.

MAIDness of Assisted Suicide and Lonely Happiness
Depression is not a mood disorder. It is a cognitive distortion. It impairs reality testing via catastrophising. Cognitive distortions could be positive adaptation (e.g., infant’s grandiosity).
Two wrong pieces of advice:
1. If you feel hopeless – suicide is an option. It never is a legitimate course of action when it comes to mental health.
2. Socializing is the key to happiness. Maybe, but not always and not for everyone.

The narcissist first converts you into his mommy, a maternal figure. He then tries to transform you into a transitional object. But this is mission impossible: the role of the transitional object is to allow the child to safely separate from mother. Disappointed and frustrated, the narcissist devalues and discards you.
