Hi All,
I was thinking the other day how Narcs so need constant admiration and 'strokes' from starry-eyed sycophants that they are probably drawn to certain professions.
And, wouldn't you know it, there was a video on YouTube covering that very topic:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Yb4j6GSZa0
My last NarcoPath was a preacher (evidently Narcs in the clergy ABOUND- who knew?)
Narc before that was a lead guitarist in his own band- with his name in the title of the band. Imagine that. Ha!
The female (and platonic male) Narcs in my life were professors, teachers and nurses.
Soooooo. Share with us here....what did your Ex-Narc do for a living?
Didn't think of that one
July 17, 2012 - 7:45pm — KalorliDidn't think of that one Hunter, Mommy's Boy fits so well. Also doing as little as possible and complaining about the rest. Is that a profession? Well nevertheless he made it one.
This thread is Great..
July 17, 2012 - 6:56pm — HunterI love it.. It's been kicking around for a while and today is even better then the first time around..
I will say this.. I think I win the prize for the BIGGEST LOSER NARC..
His first job is Mommys boy, followed by a Dog Trainer followed by .. ( I'll say it again ) con artist..
Now that's something... What was I thinking??

Mmmm, Hunter, I don't know about that! THEY are ALL such Mama's boy's yet they hate all females. And because they are such freakazoid CLONES of one another:
We ALL here get a prize- and that prize is our FREEDOM!
MINE had THE power job
July 17, 2012 - 6:20pm — TruthbeginsTodayMine was THE BEST, fastest most efficient, best looking, and smartest UPS man EVER....or so he told me.
He often complained that his boss and his customers did not appreciate what he did.
He told me and others that HE had the hardest job in the WORLD. Seriously...when asked if he was serious he said omg yes. He told how early he had to get up(8a.m.) and drive then he performed the dramatics of buckling and unbuckling his seat belt ALL DAY LONG. and then run to deliver his packages. SOME days he had to drive without music! He explained this at the courthouse too for the Judge.
he clearly stated that his job was harder than construction workers, therapists, surgeons and on and on. It freaked us all out.
He also was irresistible with the ladies.He always wanted to be on the calendar.
If you see him......Please try to control yourselves!
lmbo

Hahahahaha! ALL that, WHILE PLEASING ALL THE LADIES! Really? This was just too funny!!!!!
Ever notice that NO ONE can look so busy doing NOTHING as a NarcoPath can?
interesting... P1: was a
July 17, 2012 - 5:41pm — ferninteresting...
P1:
was a dispatch rider and big on the party rave scene, had been a model too.
P2:
was a senior executive in IT where he had great powers that could be abused and placing cronies around him doing his dirty work, covering for him etc etc
P3:
a management consultant but always hired a harem of women who had no experience to qualify them for the position...hmmm.. I wonder why... (I didn't work with him)... again a powerful position and he would prey on manager's weaknesses to stretch contracts and increase salary
Those are the ones I've been personally involved with... but seen and dealt with lots more, especially in IT and Finance and of course the ever increasing Change Management
A musician/DJ He was also at
July 16, 2012 - 11:19pm — Tiny ArtistA musician/DJ
He was also at one time a college instructor.
i used to be a musician / DJ
July 17, 2012 - 2:13am — owenjohnstoni used to be a musician / DJ lol but that's just cos i enjoy giving people a good time and making them happy
but my N was a student who wanted to be a management accountant or CFO. yea good luck to him
Well, I don't believe all
July 17, 2012 - 8:39am — Tiny ArtistWell, I don't believe all musicians are like him.
He plays 4 nights a week, always has his camera, so while the music is playing he can take pictures, usually he manages to get himself in them, then he posts them on one of his many FB pages. And really, is not all THAT.
Military. Lieutenant
July 15, 2012 - 9:58am — NarcbaitMilitary. Lieutenant Commander.
Lovely, no?
Mine was a FUNERAL DIRECTOR
May 30, 2012 - 10:07am — TarHeelBlueuntil he "retired" at age 49, after selling his share of the family business for millions. Of course, he had no real part in building the business, that was all done before he came along to "help" run it. But, naturally, every penny of that money was due him, and then some.
He got plenty of supply at all of the visitations and funerals that he conducted, believe me. And he loved to brag about all of it to me, because he figured out early on that the jealousy button was the one to push with me. If I'd only known then what I know now...
AND, he was a martial arts instructor. Black belts in seven different martial arts, he would be more than happy to tell you. And to show you. And to offer to teach you, but you'd never be as good as he is. Nope.
AND, he was a personal trainer. Been working out/lifting weights since he was 16. Knows everything there is to know about fitness, nutrition, exercise requirements at any age, any exercise you could possibly need using free weights, machines, resistance bands, cardio equipment, yoga mats, medicine balls, air...you name it, he knows all about it.
AND, he was a "pretend" cop. He donated some money to the state Highway Patrol so he could get a license plate and sticker for his truck that said "NC Highway Patrol" so he could drive around commanding respect making people think he was an off-duty cop. He even carried one of those pretend-badges in his wallet.
Anything you can do, he could do better. He can do anything better than you. (As the old song goes.)
Loser.

My N worked when convenient.
May 30, 2012 - 9:11am — DawnWinsMy N worked when convenient. He does have a red seal trade which pays very well, however quit his jobs over the years....to:
Go to school to learn autobody so that he can fix his car
Open a business, which I said was just a community ctr for him & his friends to hang out
Take time off to help me with the twins HA HA, he was never home.
Quit last year to go back to school. Yup, almost 50 yr old man with 6 kids in the house quitting his job. He finally started a new job this week "for me". ::snickers::
And he has done everything under the sun, he can do things with "his eyes closed", never actually seen him do any of the things he claims.
Boils down to he is a professional N.
My Ex N delivered pizza while
May 29, 2012 - 3:57pm — pamela11My Ex N delivered pizza while in college until he smashed our car. Than the stress of school made him stop working all together. He was 42 and going to school to be a teacher. After we broke up I found out he went back to delivering pizza. Going to be a tough thing to work in a school district that drug tests..Especially because he does illegal drugs everyday. What a looser....Yuck!
Bookstore Owner
May 29, 2012 - 1:29pm — CanadaN is an ex-actor who owns a bookstore/cultural hub/arts venue and has put himself in the central attention-getting role. He is a terrible businessman and has already gone bankrupt - but fed off the attention in the media that his bankruptcy caused. He knows how to play the media game to keep himself at the centre of everyone's focus. He invented his own talk show with him as the host, and emcees most of the events at the store. He also turned his bookstore into his personal fishing ground to impress girls/employees where OW has emerged from, much to the chagrin of his wife who also worked there. He also has a blog where he regularly mocks his customers. Most people say they won't even go there to buy books because they are afraid of ending up on the blog.
He has isolated most people in the community with his arrogance and rudeness, and there are hundreds of comments online locally about his awful behaviour. Only a matter of time until the charade ends for good!
self-destruction ahead
May 30, 2012 - 1:35am — no more an echoCanada,
Your Ex-Narc and mine couldn't be more alike...How STUPID are they?
"He also has a blog where he regularly mocks his customers. Most people say they won't even go there to buy books because they are afraid of ending up on the blog."
If I didn't witness my Ex-Robo-Boy actually mocking some of his congregants I would find your perceptions hard to believe.
They really are so very deranged, immature, arrogant and rude. And yes, I believe their clocks are counting down to complete self-destruction!
BOOM!
May 30, 2012 - 8:05am — CanadaAny day now, NMAE...BOOOOM!
They really do believe they are omnipotent. I even designed a series of fridge magnets to sell in the bookstore based on customer opinions from the news media sites.
EG:
'____ ____ is the most obnoxious person I've ever met'
and
'I was mocked online by ___ _____'
He's starting up a new store now, everyone's still asking me about how it's going, I'm just saying "I don't care anymore."
I always said that within five years, he'll be playing out the last scene from Interview With a Vampire when Lestat is in a rocking chair, hiding from the world under a blanket, frightened of the modern world, wondering "What happened?"

Listens to music, watches movies all day oh and that is when he isn't talking about how he saw aliens or ufos or that the shadow people are watching him or bullshitting some poor soul with his oh feel sorry for me stories or just generally being an ass clown.

May 28, 2012 - 11:37pm — NoMoreFreakBoyMy narc is a housekeeping director in health care facility. He has endless supply of nurses. Has changed jobs frequently from one facility to the next. Also worked at Macy's in NYC as housekeeping supervisor, had endless supply there, even got a car from ow at that place. On his social page sites he has he is an executive manager...lies, lies, lies. When I spoke to his ex ow she told me all the jobs he was fired from. Owes money in child support and to IRS. Has been divorced twice , is still married, and will sleep with anything that will not mind his small d- - k and not mind his one testicle. Lol.

the anatomy part sounds remarkably identical to my ex! lol
Mine puts people to sleep
May 28, 2012 - 10:03pm — JoyfulheartAs a certified nurse anesthetist, that is. He's gotten so much worse in the last nine years since he has been doing this. He also has on his FB profile and now on Match.com (since we are in the process of divorce) that he had three tours of duty in Vietnam in special forces. Supposedly he enlisted at age 16 serving from 1971 to 1978 and graduated from college in 1977. I didn't know they had long-distance learning from the jungles of Vietnam! He is book smart but oh so stupid. I apologize to anyone out there who really did serve our great nation; you deserve the admiration and thanks, not the one living the fantasy.

Xnh is an electronics
May 28, 2012 - 5:25pm — mystwomanXnh is an electronics technician during his day job, but he tells everyone he's an engineer. Actually, tells everyone that doesn't know him well enough that he is the SENIOR engineer at the company. He's lying, and does not have more than an associates degree in electronics technology.
He's, also, a drummer in a very unknown band after hours and xnh wants to be a rock star in a major band whenever/if he ever manages to grow up. He also fancies himself as a race car driver or a NASCAR pit crew mechanic.
In my opinion, since xnh turns 50 this November, he'd better get cracking on his dreams. His time is running out (quickly). He doesn't have all that much time left to be "discovered", and I would imagine that there is not much demand in the markets for either a geriatric NASCAR driver or pit mechanic. I haven't exactly seen any major bands pounding on his doorstep wanting his self-professed, massive drumming talents either. rofl.
Perhaps
May 28, 2012 - 8:53pm — Reason2BelieveI should have my xn Wanna B Rockstar call your azzwipe when he gets the call to join U2 or the Rolling Stones. I'm sure Wanna B can get him in with his "connections"! we should at least introduce the two old rockers- who are off their rockers! LOL

Martial arts instructor and school owner
May 27, 2012 - 10:13pm — ReinaI think my ex NP's job was perfectly suited to his sociopathic ways. He owns his own martial arts school and is the sole instructor and owner. Totally in control of everything and everyone at the school. EVERYONE worships him because he seems so level headed and in control (of course he is, he has no real emotions) and inspirational (of course he is, he knows how to Google 'inspirational quotes').
The reason he was able to seduce me into the first sociopathic relationship I have ever been in (I was 42 at the time) was because he knew I literally would have done just about anything for him. My training had changed my life, and I credited that all to him (now I realize I did most of the work). I mistakenly had this man on a pedestal, and everything he said and wrote to me reinforced what I believe about him.
Interestingly he bought this school from another person; at the time 10 years ago it was thriving. Slowly but surely over the past 10 years, his membership is dropping. He can't be bothered with the day-to-day, mundane tasks of running a business, like cleaning, like social events, like making flyers, updating the web site, promoting his students and their achievements. He takes money up front from people for things like school shirts and jackets, then never gives them their order or their money back.
The only part he's great at is getting up in front of people and acting like an expert. (Turns out a lot of his martial arts credentials were not true.)
faked credentials
May 30, 2012 - 2:10am — no more an echo"The only part he's great at is getting up in front of people and acting like an expert. (Turns out a lot of his martial arts credentials were not true.)"
SO. VERY. "NARC-Y"!!!
Replace "Martial Arts" with "preaching" credentials and they (your Ex-N & mine) are the same man!
And oh, my God:
"I think my ex NP's job was perfectly suited to his sociopathic ways.... Totally in control of everything and everyone at the school. EVERYONE worships him because he seems so level headed and in control (of course he is, he has no real emotions)"
EVERYONE at "Robo-Boy's" (I call him this BECAUSE of his lack of real emotions) church (more like a CULT) totally worships him...His word and opinions are more important than the Bible (that they claim to believe in). His job is every Narc's wet dream!
Thanks for this, Reina!

May 27, 2012 - 6:23am — Lucky Escapeand total con-artist!! Can change his face for every one he meets....used to change his voice too on the phone to different customers and then tell me how great he was "I am a chameleon" - shit, what was I thinking???? Got off on it when he screwed someone on a deal....no conscience.
Is now in a new job and has business cards saying "director" - funny as he actually breaking his company policy and German law as they are German based and have told him his title is "manager" - when he started, he sent a global email out entitled "Friends, Colleges and Customers" - a. can't fucking spell and b. thinks he's a Roman Emporer now??? I was on this global email list and absolutely roared when I got it!

Wanna Be
May 26, 2012 - 10:03pm — Reason2BelieveThinks he is a rock star, but truth b told,that ship has sailed. He drives an auto parts truck to pay his bills. He lives in a tiny apartment and money is week to week. He plays guitar and "performs" 1-2 nights per week. New gf is a barfly and quite frankly, I am embarrassed by that. Could I really have been with someone who would step so low? I understand she had his name painted on her fingernails and posted on FB. Is this 4 th grade stuff or what?.It makes me want to vomit, as it is so gross. I thank my lucky stars I am a respectable,mature,professional woman and out of the dysfunctional relationship.
Reason
she gives good...supply
May 27, 2012 - 2:01am — no more an echoLaughing because it is so very nauseating. It reminds me that Narcs DO NOT know how to have normal relationships with friends, lovers, children, co-workers (etc)- they have hostages and sycophants.

Anything he could get hooked into
May 25, 2012 - 3:32pm — BtrflyGrlMine joined the military to avoid a jail sentence.
Then worked as a cook in diners.
Then was a truck driver.
Then back to the kitchen.
Then driving a truck again.
Then a stable job where I met him, doing what he did in the military.
But of course, he was the absolute best at every job he ever held. He came from a poor background so I think anything middle-class he considered upper-crust.
Now as far as I know he is unemployed. He had zero perspective on the value or purpose of money. But he did spend like he had it, fancy car and all that. Left him in a world of debt, but that doesn't phase him.
He is sure he qualifies for MENSA and the only reason he is not rich is because, well you know, somebody elses fault.

And to coin Hunter's phrase: "Cop = Narc"
Funny thing is before I met him I never liked cops (no offense to any...just my experiences). When I began to agree to see him an old friend of mine actually laughed in disbelief. No one could ever picture me with a cop. Go figure! This is what happens when I don't listen to my inner knowing. A six year stint in disordered hell with the added bonus of being and feeling completely unprotected because of the "thin blue line." Whatever!
Law enforcement and the military attract certain types with, uhm, how shall I say..."issues." Freak Boy had them all.
Ugh.
I hope you are doing well and have a great, disordered free weekend.

it's memorial weekend in The States...
May 25, 2012 - 3:39pm — no more an echoHi spinning,
It's Memorial Day here in The States so I just want to say that there are incredibly brave and good men and women who go into the military (and law enforcement as well). God Bless you all (alive and deceased) and we do honor your service to the country.
That said, there are also many bullies and NarcoPaths that are drawn to professions that 'serve and protect' because they crave that authority and they live to abuse that power.
I'm SURE that there are many on this forum that had Narcs in the military or police forces.
Was it you, spinning, that likened your Ex-Narc to Drew Peterson? Scary.
You have a wonderful (and Narc-free) weekend, too!
OMG no more...
May 25, 2012 - 3:53pm — spinning...thank you for this! I am in the states and Memorial Day is huge to me. I have a nephew who served two tours in Iraq and my dad was a WWII vet. I by no means want to disrespect our nation's military. For my job I will be covering Memorial Day ceremonies that I always enjoy going to because they are so moving. I am so grateful you pointed this out because I truly mean no disrespect to the military or to cops. It is known, however, that these professions can attract certain types (as can my profession or many others).
I echo you in noting my deepest gratitude for those who have served to protect our freedom.
Freak Boy didn't even go to the police academy until he was 32. Because of that he had to take a job in one of the most dangerous cities in the U.S. He thrived on it...

I knew that you were not dissing the profession or our military!
Narcs do have a Napoleon complex, though. I believe, on those rare lucid moments, he realizes that he's the little man behind the curtain and NOT the Great and Powerful Oz!
I hate to think of all the DAMAGE a Narc Cop or judge can do in a career. Also a doctor or a preacher. A Narc therapist or teacher. Narc parents and coaches. God, where does it end?
