Thank you narcsaremykryptonite for your support of my blog!!
Some of you may have read my fictional novel, The Chameleons Among Us. I so enjoyed writing the book, because it had such a strong purpose which was to shed light on the ubiquitous problem of narcissism highlighting the chameleon-like behavior that they exhibit.
Narcissists can be camouflaged at least for awhile as they perform underhanded tactics that seem so subtle sometimes, that us healthy people don’t put it together right away. They can somewhat adapt to their environment like a chameleon changing colors and stay hidden for the longest time before the light is shone on them and the truth comes out. Then they scurry around looking for another disguise, or another tactic to hide behind so that they can continue to bask in their glory of feeling superior like a chameleon sunning itself on a high rock in the desert.
And that’s just it. They need to feel superior don’t they? When they win an argument, they stand tall on that rock believing that they are larger than life and when they are caught in a pickle then they are scurrying around and going behind rocks to calculate their next moves. Whether it be the smear campaign, devaluing you, taking the credit for something you did, or gaslighting the heck out of every situation they can, it IS calculated. It is a planned attack to regain control, because their low self esteem depends on it.
Narcissists are everywhere and their abuse ranges from emotional, physical, and financial. Their many shades come out in order to dodge the truth, to score a win, or to regain the top position. Their boundaries are none and it’s a matter of life or death to them that they look good to others. They will throw you under the bus, step on you and do whatever it takes to convince you that you are wrong and lower than them in the food chain so to speak. They seek out the vulnerable and the weak. They will take money from the elderly and/or the wealthy. They will network to get something out of somebody if they can. They will show off, one up you, and dominate situations to caress their injured self identity as they seek to destroy yours.
Do you have any chameleons in your life called narcissists? Maybe it’s time to see all the colors and not just the one color they like to hide behind.
