Split Personality
Are you familiar with dissociative personality disorder? You may well think of schizophrenia, yet the two conditions are different. What is dissociative personality disorder? Weâll explain all.
If the title of this article hasnât totally scared you away, then you are no doubt wondering what this beast of a person is really like. Well, a malignant narcissist is a step up from a typical narcissist and adds an antisocial personality disorder to the already intimidating mixture. Combined, these two personality disorders represent the relentless need for control, admiration, and power for selfish reasons, making folks with this diagnosis that bit scarier than classic manipulators. Hereâs why these people are so terrifying, and how you can get your own back on them.
Malignant narcissism is no doubt the darkest form of narcissism that exists, and even the most aware amongst us can fall victim to it. When it comes to being ruthless, merciless, and heartless, these folks excel in the field and are willing to do anything to get what they want. They shouldnât be underestimated and have what it takes to cause irreparable damage to their victims.
The difference between a narcissist and a malignant narcissist lies in the severity and toxic nature of their narcissistic behaviors. A narcissist may exhibit traits of egocentricity, a constant need for validation and admiration, and a tendency to put themselves at the center of attention. However, this does not necessarily mean that they are malicious or dangerous to others.
The malignant narcissist, on the other hand, displays extreme narcissistic traits, combined with manipulative, cruel, and malicious behavior. This type of narcissist is often sadistic, lacks empathy, and deliberately seeks to harm others to achieve his or her own goals. The malignant narcissist may engage in destructive and manipulative acts, causing considerable harm to those around them. In short, the difference lies in the degree of toxicity and dangerousness of narcissistic behavior, with the malignant narcissist displaying traits far more harmful and damaging than those of an ordinary narcissistic person.
Just when you thought youâd heard it all, something even darker spins around to haunt your imagination.
Unfortunately, these folks are completely merciless and have no pity for anyone but themselves, after all, why would they? Other folks barely exist in their eyes. They are completely ignorant to other peopleâs pain and donât care enough to consider what it can actually do either. In short, their selfishness means theyâll always put themselves first and never consider their victimâs struggles.

Now, narcissists are pretty heartless creatures, however malignant narcissists take evil to the next level and really do get their kicks out of hurting their victims. Inflicting pain makes them feel powerful and in control, plus, knowing that they have what it takes to crush others puts a genuine smile on their face⊠Making their victims feel bad is their favorite hobby.
The scary truth is that they have less control over their mood swings and work in less passive-aggressive ways than typical manipulators, who try and conceal their true intentions. Here, these guys will do anything necessary to get what they want, including openly threaten their victims if they believe it will get them to stay in line.
Itâs probably easier to get blood from a stone, than to get these abusers to take accountability for their horrific actions. These devious manipulators are in fact incapable of holding their hands up and accepting the consequences because they are convinced that they never do anything wrong. Thatâs right, their hugely over inflated ego and pride prevent them for resorting to introspection.
Revenge is the only thing that motivates these abusers on a daily basis. They love the idea of being able to settle scores as well as taking back control. Unfortunately, if a malignant narcissist believes you have wronged them, they wonât just accept an apology and move on. No, these folks will want to see you suffer in the most evil and excruciating way possible.

Now, because they are so merciless, they make lots of enemies along their path and donât hesitate to cross them. Being so hellbent on getting revenge on people means that they often fall into a spiral of paranoia too, because they are continuously convinced that everyone is out to get them, which forces them to become even more despicable as a way of defending themselves.
Forgiveness is not something that these extreme narcissists are comfortable with. Their immense pride means that they are incapable of moving on from the past and leaving their previous wounds behind them. That being said, their hypocritical nature means that when they are exposed, they demand to be forgiven for their actionsâŠ
Malignant narcissists never approach any given situation without a plan of action, and when it comes to manipulating their victims, they follow the use, abuse, and discard schema. Their cycle of torture is cleverly thought out and ultimately leads to the breakdown of victims and the destruction of their mental health.

The ultimate step to bringing down a malignant narcissist is to publicly expose the workings of their manipulation. To do this, you must be ready to face their anger and be prepared for the fact that they will seek revenge for this humiliation. Indeed, these devious personalities pay particular attention to their image and work carefully to ensure they are perceived as charismatic, intelligent, and attractive. Now, dismantling this public image by exposing your abuserâs true face will certainly wound him, and symbolize you taking back control. When you are in the process of making ripping away all the bravado, be sure to openly display his hidden objectives too, by saying things like; "you're trying to make me feel guilty", "it looks like you're trying to manipulate me"...
The two conditions for public humiliation are the following;
Indeed, these abusers donât lack resources and if they sense the slightest indecision on your part, they can turn this movement against you, by publicly scorning and discrediting you as someone unstable, hysterical, untrustworthy and therefore unreliable.
Yes, malignant narcissistic people can exhibit harmful or problematic behaviors, but it's important to note that not all narcissistic individuals are necessarily dangerous. Malignant narcissism is a personality trait that exists on a spectrum, from relatively healthy to pathological narcissism.
People with pathological narcissism, particularly those with this personality disorder, may be more likely to exhibit behaviors that are potentially harmful to others. They may lack empathy, exploit others to achieve their own goals, have difficulty maintaining healthy relationships, and be prone to aggression or manipulation. However, it's important to note that not all individuals with this personality type are necessarily dangerous and that each person is unique in the way they express their narcissism.
It's important to take precautions and protect yourself if you're in a relationship with a narcissistic person who behaves in an abusive or dangerous way. If you are concerned about your safety or the safety of others, it is advisable to seek help from competent professionals, such as therapists, counselors or organizations specializing in toxic relationships and domestic violence.
Malignant narcissists can have fears and vulnerabilities, just like any other person. However, because of their strong need to maintain an image of grandeur and superiority, they can be particularly sensitive to certain situations or events that could threaten this image or challenge their self-esteem.
Here are just a few examples of what might frighten a narcissist:
It's important to note that every narcissistic individual is different, and specific fears may vary from person to person. A narcissist's fears and vulnerabilities may also be complex and linked to other factors in their personal history and development.
