What Attracts Them

Thought you all might like reading this one:
(NOTE: According to research, narcissism is on the low end of the psychopathy spectrum. The worse they are, the closer towards being a psychopath they probably are.)

Psycho Boy did the SAME to me. DO NOT RESPOND BLOCK HIS EMAILS - any new one's you get - BLOCK if he makes new accounts? Write to his Internet Provider and tell them he is HARASSING you without getting into too much. if he has the time & money to TRY to sue you I'd be very surprised - even then he's on thin ice since it's your OPINION. He's out of luck. He'd have to sue you in the U.S.A. Too bad so sad. Here's some articles to put on your blog. Since blogger is hosted in the USA - it's subject to it's laws. MOST IMPORTANT: http://www.citmedialaw.org/legal-guide/publishing-personal-and-private-information ALSO IMPORTANT: http://cyberpaths.blogspot.com/2008/01/is-it-legal-to-expose-these-predators.html THIS CASE GOES RIGHT TO THE HEART OF WHAT P.D. is threatening you about: http://www.citmedialaw.org/threats/hollis-v-cunningham (loads of links at bottom, too) OTHER: http://www.acslaw.org/acsblog http://www.eff.org/bloggers (this site has some great graphic banners to put on your site. STAND UP TO THAT BULLY, JANE!!!) http://tinyurl.com/yo4amb http://www.netfreedom.org/ http://www.citizen.org/litigation/briefs/IntFreeSpch/ He wants to scare you. DON'T LET HIM. DO NOT RESPOND TO HIM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! Screw him. AND FOR GOD'S SAKE START THERAPY!!!!! LOOK HOW HE'S TRIGGERED YOUR PTSD WITH A STUPID THREAT!! (I can even give you a little widget, if you know his IP - to block him from your website) You should write to Yahoo and tell them to block him and delete the email account as he opened in YOUR name simply to harass you - because its IDENTITY THEFT. Be sure to say you are "willing to press charges" if its not removed... that ought to get Yahoo's attention. P.D. has clearly violated their Terms of Service (TOS) to do this to you: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/index.html Psycho-Boy did smear me for 2 years... I remained calm and spoke my truth. I provided clear evidence to back up what I said. I saw you were on my blog about him http://thestumblingblock.wordpress.com - so I included articles & excerpts about why pathologicals smear and how they do it by LEAVING OUT KEY INFORMATION. I linked to his smear in fact. After 2 years he was forced to removed his smear blog and has tried to erase what he said was the "true story" (gag) of what happened. I know he comes here and I have every intention of linking to things he's done to other bloggers to cut them off, cut them down and intimidate them when he doesn't agree to them. Using their own B.S. against them is simple when you stand STRONG and STAND IN TRUTH. No one, I repeat, NO ONE can tell you how to feel... even that jerk. THIS is what he's trying to do: http://narc-attack.blogspot.com/2008/03/responsibility-wrap-narcissist-hurts.html James? Anything else to tell Jane as you have a blog about your ex which names her, also. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Articles & information for abuse victims - Updated Daily Online Coaching for Victims of Narcissists/ Psychopaths

I'm standing up to him allright. I won't be bullied into silence. Other women have a right to know what he really is. He is obviously concerned because now my blog comes up third in ranking when googling his name (prior to this week it barely hit the 5th or 8th page). Unfortunately I didn't read your reply in time and I replied to his email last night. Don't worry, it was sent "Without Prejudice", and I kept to the point as much as I could, merely stating that I wasn't scared by his threaths and that what he was doing was illegal. I also mentioned that I wouldn't hesitate publishing other evidence that I have in hand which would seriously impact his overall reputation on so many levels(like money he "borrowed" from me but never paid back and so on), should he ever go there. It angers me that this abusive bastard isn't even a little sorry for what he has put me through. Sorry for the french girls, but it just gets to me that these people don't have an ounce of compassion or shame for their actions. I don't think I could live with myself if I ever did what he did to anyone else. Jane http://sadlynomore.blogspot.com

I gave you plenty to load up your blog with some 'flipping him the bird' by giving him and his proxies a little education. From now on - NO CONTACT. DO NOT WORRY IF HE RESPONDS. For Gosh sake: Block all EMAILS, including any new ones he makes to contact you. (put the threats into a file where you DO NOT READ THEM because they will activate your PTSD!!) Block all TEXTS and CELL CALLS (calling your cell provider can block all his numbers. Simply tell them you're just out of an abusive relationship and need him blocke Delete any VOICEMAILS he leaves. Return any MAIL, including Registered or Certified Mail - DELIVERY REFUSED... UNOPENED!! Promise me Jane - NO MORE CONTACT. Don't allow him near you. If he comes to your home do NOT open the door, close the curtains and call the Police. I told you what to do about any emails he starts in your name. Start loading up your blog... I will link to you on mine when I get a chance (I rarely go to that blog anyway but steal whatever you want) Here's your chance to educate other women AND your friends about Pathology & PTSD. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Articles & information for abuse victims - Updated Daily Online Coaching for Victims of Narcissists/ Psychopaths

There is not a chance that I will see him face to face again because he has moved to a different country - he is in Atlanta, GA - USA and I'm in Malta - Europe. He hasn't called/texted me in a year. The only communication we had last summer whilst things were up in the air was via MSN, sms or calls that I stupidly initiated. There hasn't been any communication whatsoever since September of last year. This is infact the first that I've heard of him. I understand what you say about PTSD. When I read that email last night I went into shock initially, but this morning I woke up more resilient than ever. I've looked up his IP. He sent that email from work, so his work IP is 64.238.96.125. He works for a phone and internet company, so I don't know if you can actually block that IP? I don't know what the IP is from his house. Thanks for your help and advice Barbara. Jane http://sadlynomore.blogspot.com

Follow the instructions then put this on your blog: http://www.toolator.com/ I will block him here. I made a list of all the exposure sites you could put him on here a couple times... do you want them again? (consider changing the name of your blog to GLADLY No More... LOL!) ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Articles & information for abuse victims - Updated Daily Online Coaching for Victims of Narcissists/ Psychopaths

Interesting test

While I agree that they look for weakness whenever looking for new sources. I have come to a personally understanding that a person who is compassionate and giving is also (to them anyway) a type of weakness they look for in people. There are some victims who came from good supportive loving home that still fall for this con. I know my greatest strength is also my greatest weakness. They will use that to their advantage. Still others say oh, just have good strong healthy boundary markers. Yes, these do help but remember they wear down our boundaries over time and sometimes this can take years. So even that is no guarantee that one won’t be conned and expose to these type of human parasites. Any relationship with them is both dysfunctional and unhealthy, and I do mean business relationships as well. So the only way for myself is education and training to see one before any damage can be done. But sometimes even this isn’t enough and some still get through the cracks and if that happens then damage control and a fast exit is your only sure bet before any long term damage is done. Because this disorder is based on a defense mechanism gone terribly wrong, I believe they do this instinctively whenever looking for their next victim and it may not always be a conscience thought. I believe in a way this testing brought this to the surface. It’s almost like “selective memory” and not really conscience thought as we know it. Only “useful” information is stored but other information is ether not received or block. Whatever the case may be more testing is needed and hopefully will be done in the future. http://james-personalitydisorder.blogspot.com/

I need your advice! My ex has made contact after 1 year. He is threatening to smear my name if I don't take his name off the tags. I have checked up on the law, and since I haven't made reference to him by name in the content I'm fine. There is nothing he can do legally about the tags. But I don't take his threats lightly. He's even opened a yahoo email in my name! Jane http://sadlynomore.blogspot.com

That was really interesting.

That was really interesting. It suddenly reminded me of some early comments I made that must have attracted my N. Because we were involved in all kinds of debates about religion and politics and such..and I was an articulate woman that could hold her own...I also LOVED jokes and was very friendly even in political debates. I did not, IMO, show any signs of my inner vulnerability publicly. Though I talked about my faith, and volunteer work, so that points definitely to "feeling responsible" for other people. But reading that article I had a light bulb moment...in those early discussions, just prior to him contacting me privately (and LYING HIS ASS OFF about his spiritual confusion)..I had made mention several times of my parents losing everything in Katrina, and the devastation there. I was using that situation as an example of some point I was making...I wasn't moaning and crying about it...but..but but but...I now remember reading that they will take advantage of people who've had recent deaths in the family, stuff like that. They look for those points of vulnerability. AND...in talking in general terms about whether we have souls...I said something about sitting at someone's death bed, and what it's like watching someone die. I didn't give any other details, and actually, that had been years ago, when my 95 year old grandmother died, so I was not in a state of bereavement...ahhh...but I *might* have been. ;) OMG what an absolutely vile person he is.

They spot vulnerability

Yes, narcissists are vampires and they will suck everything they can out of us until they leave us for dead. They definitely look for victims who are vulnerable or experiencing trauma in their lives. The reason is that these people are less suspicious and defensive when they are reeling from a painful personal situation. Plus, who would think someone would take advantage of someone when they're down and out. However, this is exactly what a narcissist does to the women he decides to pursue. He tries to spot them when they are most vulnerable because he expects they will be more willing to believe the lies and bull-crap he feeds them.

Vulnerability

I hate to sound like a broken record but when I read WOMEN WHO LOVE PSYCHOPATHS I learned these pathologicals like women who are empathetic, high in relationship investment, smart, self-assured, caretakers... you know - all the GOOD stuff about us. ALL OF IT. All the things they are NOT! Makes them even more vile when you think about it. More like VAMPIRES than anything else. Barbara http://abusesanctuary.blogspot.com
