The Narcometer™

Necessitous guide
to the Shapeshifter™.

There are times when the Msagro™ method will struggle.
Here deals when you are up against narcissistic traits.
This is beyond the Disc and Myers-Briggs theories.

Do NOT be agreeable, compliant and digestible!

The Narc. has three masks - preserve the image, secure supply and avoid accountability.
For one goal - control.

A narcissistic parent teaches their child to wait by a door that never opens.

Msagro says: There are five classifications. This section contemplates those roughly in Cat 3 and 4.
We do not claim to diagnose narcissitic personality disorder.

1. Empath, 2. Normal, 3. Narc Traits, 4. Narcissist, 5. Bonkers.
We call these Empo™, Normo™, Traito™, Narco™ and Bonko™.


Msagro says: Implement Firm Calmness™.
Repeat your position like an old fashioned gramophone record.
Again and again with the Narcometer™.
Stroking ego is a worthwhile activity even if it goes against your grain.
Autonomy, plus staying in a good mood, is your premier defence!

The person with narc. traits (the narc. traiter) only has three types of friends:
1. The victim;
2. Ones they deem worthy of admiring them;
3. Those whom they are trying to impress.

► Watch out for remembering every single detail of your behaviour yet 'forgetting' their own behaviour and act as if nothing has happened; they love to hate you and are envious; they will delete emails and messages to divert reality and create a narrative that fits their wishes.

► Look for no respect for your time (=late); nagging; a bad listener; cannot handle criticism; very impatient; poor attention span; lack empathy; extremely stubborn; emotional bankruptcy; greedy and do not like like to share; totally fake.

► Narcisstic traits are positively associated with self-assessed intelligence but not with objective intelligence.

► People are confused by their words and intimidated and shamed by their aggression. Their secret is that they feel insecure and needy. This is why they must, at all costs, feel powerful and in control.

► Identify: Ghosting; Discard and return cycle; Word salad; Lying; Hypocrisy; Paranoia; Blame-shifting; Gaslighting; Double bind; Defensiveness.

► If you think this is crap, tell Msagro™. If you know it is not, tell everyone.

Remember: Superior judgment trumps superior skills. See you here.

Go to Unbearable Back to Top

Trad Narc

What situations are unbearable for a narc.?

1. Failing to destroy someone.
They have tried hard to hurt a person but the person stays strong and shows that were not broken. This infuriates the narc.

2. Their own children / parents / family / close friends cutting them off.
When these folk move away and stop giving them attention, they cannot believe it. They have learned the abuse will never stop even with future generations.

3. Getting old.
They lose attention and their tricks dont work nearly as well.

4. A plan backfiring.
They will hate it if they receive a penalty - up to and including prison.

5. Being broke.
Without sufficient money, they cannot show off or impress people any more.

6. FIVE key things to never, ever tell the Narc.
i) What you are going to do next. ii) How much you have in savings or details of your Will. iii) Passwords. iv) The people that you dislike. v) Any medical issues especially regarding mental health.
Thanks for your attention, have a good day and be wise.

Go To The Narc. Hates Back to Top

Hate!

The Narc. Hates.

Your aim should be no or low contact forever, less one day. Implement the following in defence and they will hate you. You learned this here.

1. Those who have self-worth.
A person who is unshakeable is hated by the Narc.

2. Those who tell the truth.

A person who says 'no' and keeps themself safe is hated by the Narc.

7. Those who forgive and then walk away.

8. Taking responsibility or criticism.
This concept is alien. They loathe explanations that contain facts, conditions and circumstances.

9. Not respecting others' ideas.
If you put anything out there, they will immediately reply, no way, usually in a rude or dismissive manner. Within seconds, they will throw out the exact same idea and claim it as their own brilliant idea.

10. Being transparent.
They create a false reality for themselves, particularly on the Internet. They create a version of a perfect life, successful and happy and want other people to buy into this fantasy including non existent achievenments. (Rewriting history)

11. Accepting their own mistakes.
They cannot take responsibility for a problem or mistake, regardless of how clear it is that they messed up. They put the responsibility on others.

Go To The Ageing Narc. Back to Top

Ageing awfully.

The Ageing Narc.

Suddenly, everything they do seems to be geared towards pissing everyone off. Your aim should be no or low contact forever, less one day. You learned this here.

1. Loss of hope on love.
Genuine love / respect is substituted with craving for additional control and superiority. They act towards others less as partners, family or friends and treat everyone more like an object or an appliance.

2. Failing to learn from own failures.
Not taking responsibility and portray themselves as the victim. Become the all-or-nothing thinker; rigid, unbearing and full of blame shifting.

3. Denial of 'shadow self'.
Inability to acknowledge errors or internal conflict. Hide pain and then spew it out with bouts of emotional instability, resentment or unavailability.

4. Needing more 'yes people' - more flying monkeys.
Require the echo chamber of the flying monkeys to repeat their skewed perceptions and the cost of any potential of benefit from change. Change will never happen.

5. Becoming inadequate as a human.
Brings others down to elevate themselves to their idealized image of superiority and perfection.

6. Justifying of failed relationships.
Create the illusion that they are strong and others are weak, insecure or problematic. Avoid responsiblity and use perpetual excuses and self serving rationalizations.

7. Putting others on the defensive.
By shaming, blaming and guilt tripping, they think they are the victors. They are not; they are delusional. They gaslight to play the 'better person' trick.

8. What to do.
Firm calmness, low or no contact. Elizabeth Hunter™ doorslammed a person known as 'Axel Garvie'. He actutally went from being highly respected 36 yo to a hole of an ass by the age of 70. Locals of Doon will relate to this!!

Key theme of your approach to your Narc.

The quadrant may be enough to proceed.
Stay on here.
If you know the person well, then refine the approach to more closely match their pattern by going to each quadrant by the menu at the top right.

Ah! Staying here - good job.

  • For Loud Mouth Larry - Malignant and Antagonistic Narcs

    ***have to pick pattern

    Larry tends to take a direct aggressive approach which may result in “I win / you lose”.

    • Avoid right / wrong debates by stating differences without judgment.
    • Ask what to seek out the real issues.
    • Ask what would be necessary to achieve “win / win”.
    • Do not ramble.
    • Wrap up indicating what everyone has committed to do.

  • For Chatty Cathy - Overt Narcs

    Cathy tends to avoid direct open conflict.

    Recognise their discomfort with conflict or loss of approval.
    • State issue with facts, without criticism of them as a person; ask who questions if required.
    • Limit their attempts to minimise problem or side-track the discussion; get back on the subject.
    • Wrap up the discussion with a clear statement of what is going to happen, not tell them what to do and when. Affirm your relationship with them.

  • For Plane Jane Communal Narcs

    ***have to pick pattern

    Jane tends to avoid aggression, hostility or conflict.

    • State the need to resolve the conflict in order to maintain harmony and stability in the relationship; do not be confrontational.
    • Ask "how" to draw our uncomfortable issues; can also ask when, what and where questions.
    • Ask them what they would need to resolve the issue in a way that is reasonable and effective.

  • For Cautious Kevin - Antagonistic Narcs -

    Kevin tends to initially withdraw from open conflict but may become defensive or aggressive.

    • State the issue calmly, logically and factually citing specific behaviour; do not refuse to explain details.
    • Ask "why" type questions and what they would need to resolve the conflict on a “win / win” basis.
    • Recognise their need to think about the situation before responding and schedule a time to have a follow up discussion.
