Why Narcissists Can’t Be Trusted

A Simple Explanation

When I finally grasped what narcissism meant, I understood there is a fundamental difference between an average person and a narcissist.

I didn’t fully understand much, but the gist was an image I could not forget. In my mind, I got an image of what narcissism is, and this is what it looked like to me:

Bumblebees communicate by doing a little bumblebee dance. They shake their little bottoms and this communicates to the rest of the bees where their food source is. It’s sorta cute.

Narcissists appear to be regular bumblebees. But they dance for another reason. They look just like regular bees but they shake their bottoms to confuse, to dominate, to batter and harm the other bees. It looks like they are doing the same things as the other bees but it’s for an entirely different purpose.

Because of this, I stopped listening to Sam Vankin. It is impossible for a narcissist to communicate for the same reason as a regular person. They are foremost interested in their own predatory needs. The hive, the honey, food sources and how to find them will be sabotaged if it satisfies the narcissist. Even if the narcissist tells the truth, they will somehow slip some information in there that will give them power, or a back door, or make them necessary when they are not.
