Secret 3: Cruelty to Animals
A lot of narcissists have a history with animals that reveals their core. They can talk about their love for pets today, but the truth is that they neglected or even hurt an animal in their past, not because they didn’t know better, of course not, but because they did, and they wanted to feel superior. They may have given away a loyal dog because it annoyed them, let a pet starve just to punish a family member, or forgot about an animal on purpose to see what would happen. That’s quite psychopathic. Control isn’t just something they seek in humans; it is wired into them. And if they could discard something so innocent once, it means they never truly learned what love is.
Secret 4: Faking Illnesses
They faked illnesses in childhood to gain sympathy and manipulate adults. Most people lie once or twice as kids, but for narcissists, lying about illness wasn’t a phase. It was their earliest weapon. They learned to feign pain, dizziness, fevers, and even fainting spells to gain power over their environment. Why? Well, because they craved attention, feared abandonment, or wanted to escape consequences.
Because they’re cowards, they would convince teachers to excuse them, manipulate parents into favoring them, even pit siblings against each other with lines like, “Why don’t you care for me like they do?” And when the tactic worked, that was their moment of awakening: illness equals control, sympathy equals survival.
Now, fast forward to adulthood, and suddenly every narcissist you have ever known has mysterious ailments no doctor can confirm. The origin was not physical, ever. It was psychological, and it began the day they learned how to play victim to win.
