    They do it covertly because they know it's wrong...

    That they know to try to conceal the abuse from outsiders is indicative of that they are well aware of that it's wrong and unacceptable.

    If it's never intentional, people wouldn't be able to suppress it when it's socially inconvenient.

    It's pointless to argue with these demons because yes, for example, they know they disrespected you. That was the design.

    I am a survivor of over six decades of non-stop abuse from four different narcissists. There is a demonic force within these individuals. Once you feel the destruction of this spiritually, and actually see Satan in their eyes, you know exactly what you are dealing with. There is nothing on this earth that feels more revolting and terrifying within your soul.

    There you go. He said it. They can stop themselves. They don’t want to. They enjoy hurting others.

    I work in a preschool ages 1 to 5. Let me tell u some babies are dangerous, mean, non feeling. We see it maybe 1 in 25 kids. They don't change. We just keep the other kids safe and when they get older and get hurt by this child i tell them to stay so many feet from them. They will listen when they have gotten hurt multiple times. The teachers try over and over to have this child to understand his/her behavior to no avail. It is their personality from the start. So what i teach their friends is be aware when playing with them.

    Something that I have learned to do, is when someone in my sphere seems to be exhibiting bad behavior, I start writing notes about my encounters so that I can determine if there is a pattern and what the pattern looks like. It has been incredibly helpful for me to determine if the person is exhibiting toxic behaviors on a regular basis or if we have simply had a miscommunication. Growing up, I was encouraged to give people " the benefit of the doubt," which can encourage chronic bad behavior.

    The person that was in my life, when confronted with dismissing, withdrawl, coldness for punishment admitted in the heat of the moment "yeah, I do it intentionally, it's better than what I really want to do to you". In a follow up conversation he denied denied denied. His words were carefully chosen, his actions always had a motive and his treatment was calculated based on my triggers, fear of abandonment was used the most. They are self aware, dangerous and evil.

    The fact they choose their victims and dont do it to everyone proves they can stop themselves if they want to.

    The “Trauma” is their lack of concern for crossing your personal boundaries, based on their selfishness to get what THEY WANT, and be damned your personal perspective on things. It hurts, and becomes more traumatic with each selfish offense.

    I was really little the first time I really saw the malevolence in them I felt like I was leaving my body. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. Decades later, they're still naturally mean.

    People who consistently harm you - know exactly what they’re doing — because they keep doing it. Who cares what the "intellects'' name it - get away!
