narcissist (The narcissist is like the guru at the center of a cult. Like other gurus, he or she demands complete obedience from his or her flock: his or her spouse, offspring, other family members, friends, and colleagues. He or she feels entitled to adulation and special treatment by their followers. He or she punishes the wayward and the straying lambs. He or she enforces discipline, adherence to their outlandish ideas, stories and assertions, and common goals. The narcissist believes he or she is entitled to anything he or she desires and that their promises and obligations are not binding on him or her. The less accomplished he or she is in reality – the more stringent their mastery and the more pervasive the brainwashing. In their quest for personal grandeur he or she can sacrifice everything. He or she can kill those who oppose him or her, and slay those who turn their backs to him or her. He or she can assassinate those who criticized him or her simply because they criticized him or her. He or she demands total and unconditional submission.) |
