Name-calling can also be used to criticize your beliefs, opinions and insights. A well-researched perspective or informed opinion suddenly becomes “silly” or “idiotic” in the hands of a malignant narcissist or sociopath who feels threatened by it and cannot make a respectful, convincing rebuttal. Rather than target your argument, they target you as a person and seek to undermine your credibility and intelligence in any way they possibly can. It’s important to end any interaction that consists of name-calling and communicate that you won’t tolerate it. Don’t internalize it: realize that they are resorting to name-calling because they are deficient in higher level methods.

The hardest part is always the ending. This is the last leg of a very long production.
I hope it is worth waiting for. The very talented cast & crew brings cinema to the screen in a very special way. Follow us and join the ride!

We could use a little support for our efforts…

 

In the hands of a malignant narcissist or sociopath, your differing opinions, legitimate emotions and lived experiences get translated into character flaws and evidence of your irrationality

For Amy, trying to get out of hell won’t be easy, reaching rock bottom. For Davey, he’s living large, paying servitude to a transgender sugar-mama. As we learn about their pasts, we realize they need each other in order to build a future. An awkward journey into the world of dysfunction.
