Ain't that the truth.
This is how the sanctimonious bully playbook works:
1. Be bigoted against a group and tell them at every possible opportunity that something is fundamentally wrong with them
2. They get depressed and commit suicide
3. Now you get to say: told you so, them be crazy! Now your work is done and you're allowed to feel even better about yourself.
Kick'em when they're down I say!
That is how the minds of narcissists work, only there's more steps to it. See below:
1 - Find a victim to target.
2 - Hook them in with false charm and adoration to the point that the victim falls madly in love and sees the narcissist can do no wrong.
3 - Once hooked, remove mask and start saying insulting things, only to turn around and;
3a - be the one that comes to their defense when the victim is hurt
3b - continue abusive behavior while still managing to be "loving".
3c - only show this side of themselves to the victim. Shows "charming" self to everyone else.
4 - Victim starts feeling like they are going crazy and seeks out advice of mutual friends.
5 - Mutual friends refuse to believe the narcissist could ever do those things because narcissist has never acted that way around said friends before.
6 - Victim doesn't realize they are dealing with a narcissist until it's too late (possibly years later).
7 - Victim is left trying to undo all the damage narcissist has caused while narcissist immediately goes out to acquire their next target (victim).
