Look who the fuck's talking.

Knowing it'd crush you, is not bragging. It's just KNOWING how a ego-maniacal narcissist will react when he finds out he's not as 
smart as he thinks he is, compared to those he THINKS are not. 

I have no delusions, like you.

I'm an amateur... not the "expert" YOU think you are.

You reek of narcissism.

============================================================================

You probably spend a small amount of time feeling sorry for Alan, but elated when this undeserved narcissist starts spouting his 
feigned expertise on EVERY topic.

Have you ever wondered how to make a Alan, the narcissist, miserable and what makes him afraid or triggered? (maybe for a second... 
then it's gone) 

Just for the record, trying to make Alan, the narcissist, miserable might have its place for a short period of time, but I don't 
recommend focusing on it for too long as this will inevitably get old.

PLONK! usually does a pretty good job.  LOL

But, if you need a quik fix, let's get into the top things all narcissists, like Alan, hate.

How to Make Alan, the narcissist, Miserable 

Lack Of Acknowledgment: (filter on ignore and PLONK!)

Even though he KNOWS he's being ignored, he continues to reply, as if ANYONE really cares, other than himself. THAT is narcissism.

It's no secret that most narcissists, like Alan, revel in admiration and validation (except for 'closet narcissists', like Alan). 
Alan depends on constant approval to maintain his sense of intrinsic worth. To achieve this goal, he TRIES to absorb (or steal) the 
energy of other people. 

"Prove it."

Do you ever wonder why narcissists, like Alan, don't seem to mind the negative attention? It's because negative attention also 
fuels his narcissistic fire. 

ANY attention, even NEGATIVE attention, IS STILL ATTENTION, and any form of attention gives him the incentive to keep going. It 
gives him the motivation to keep proving himself (by making others prove THEMSELVES.

In fact, he often likes negative attention better, because if you're still amused by his emotional crimes, he can try to exploit 
this. 

Therefore, a lack of acknowledgment is the real threat. To Alan, the narcissist, indifference is even more of an issue than hatred. 
Alan's rather you have a negative opinion than have no opinion at all. 

(sick fuck) 

Narcissists, like Alan, can't stand it when no one is paying attention to him. Alan doesn't know how to feel important or special 
if he isn't the center of the universe or consuming someone's thoughts. This is also why the traditional Grey Rock method is often 
pointless and why complete avoidance is the best route (or extreme modified contact... just ignore the sick fuck). 

When People Speak Factually: 

Have you ever paid close attention to how Alan, the narcissist, speaks? He ALWAYS trying to belittle those he THINKS are below his 
station.

Additionally, through the use of cognitive empathy, he's spent his entire life observing the emotional language of other people, 
ESPECIALLY RUSSIAN SPORTS OFFICIALS and using it to his advantage. So, when you speak in facts instead of using emotion, he 
intuitively understands he has less of an upper hand. 

Therefore, he hates it when someone challenges him with facts instead of emotion. Alan will usually retaliate with more arguing or 
hysteria. PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! 

This childish response simply shows that he feel out-of-control. Alan's attempt to elevate the conversation's intensity by throwing 
an emotional temper tantrum. PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! 

If anything, this dynamic only highlights the narcissist's immaturity. His inability to absorb facts demonstrates his incompetence 
in approaching most adult interactions. 

Authority: 

Narcissists, like Alan, detest authority. That's because he resents having to answer to anybody but himself (mommy orders him 
around, further compounding his anger). 

"Ski lifts are closed... too much snow." Bu bu but snow is just a thing of the past, Alan says, even though we're seeing snow 
levels we saw in the 70s, when CO² was MUCH lower.

Any sense of authority threatens his inherent desire for power and control. "You can't ski here, bunny."

While narcissists, like Alan, can be intelligent, he often come across as combative and unfit in professional environments. If 
confronted by his inappropriate behavior, he tends to deny or rationalize his part.  PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE 
IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT! PROVE IT!  

Of course, it's no surprise that most authority figures dislike working with narcissists, like Alan. Supervisors (LOL) find him 
unruly and unreasonable. 

Alan can't understand why the person can't follow basic directions without such volatile reactions. 

Being Told No: 

Of all things, Alan, the narcissist, hates being told no (and actually following through with it) tops the list. Narcissists, like 
Alan, are used to manipulating and weaseling his way into getting what he wants. 

Often, he'll pull all the stops to accomplish this task. He's spent his whole life charming people to meet his needs. 

That's why telling him no, and being adamant on your stance, often causes such an angry reaction. Alan, the narcissist, isn't just 
upset about the denial - he's downright confused by it! 

Narcissists, like Alan, can't actually fathom why someone would refuse him. Because he lacks real empathy, he can't understand what 
must be going on in your mind. Moreover, even if he tries to comprehend it, he refuses to accept this reality. 

Implementing Consequences: 

Have you ever tried to set a boundary with Alan, the narcissist,? How well did it go? Most likely, you tried to implement a limit, 
and he reacted in one of three ways: 

Dismissing you altogether and gas-lighting your feelings, acknowledging his mistake (LOL), and then doing nothing to change. 

Narcissists, like Alan, can't accept any real consequences. Alan can't see when he's wrong, and he can't understand how someone 
would ever think he's wrong. And even if the narcissist understood this, he simply wouldn't care. As a result, he tends to react 
disproportionately to boundaries and serious conversations as a means to intimidate you and force you into compliance. 

Unfortunately, many people simply give up on trying to implement consequences with narcissists, like Alan. 

(filters set to ignorte)

Losing At Anything: 

Narcissists, like Alan, can resemble toddlers, in that he tend to be extremely sore losers. Alan struggles to accept losing, and he 
also tends to lash out when it happens. A few scenarios may occur: 

Alan repeatedly proclaims a person on Usenet is incompetent. Alan's attempt to defame or humiliate the winner. Alan pretends he 
didn't care about winning. Alan insists that he "let the other person" take the spotlight. Alan refuses to accept that he lost and 
awkwardly acts as if he's the actual winner. 

Public Humiliation: 

Because narcissists, like Alan, are sore losers, he can't handle real or perceived public humiliation. Alan just can't tolerate the 
threat of failure. To him, public humiliation is the ultimate form of defeat. 

(and THAT'S why he HAS to be the last poster in a thread, if he has felt that he's been slighted, in the least) 

We all know that narcissists, like Alan, have incredibly fragile egos. When he believes someone is making fun of him or if he's not 
the perceived expert or authority in a public setting, it jolts his existence. As a result, he'll do anything to protect his 
fragile ego. Some common responses include: 

Laughing it off in public only to lash out later 

Making up lies about anyone who is a real expert. ("Dr. Ian Clark is not a REAL climatologist!!!")

Expectations of Commitment 

Most narcissists, like Alan, are terrible with commitment. Although he believes he deserves all senses of loyalty, he doesn't 
usually provide it himself. As a result, when he gets into relationships (mommy only), he doesn't consider her needs. He's only 
accounting for his own emotions, impulses, and desires. 

Unfortunately, his mother holds onto wistful hope about her narcissist changing. She listens to how the narcissist praises and 
adores her. She holds onto fleeting promises that this time will be different. 

Yet, Alan, the narcissist makes all the rules. Alan decides what he wants to do, and he does it when he wants to do it. Therefore, 
he can break and change the rules in ways that suits him. 

Prove it! Prove it! Prove it! Prove it! Prove it! Prove it! Prove it! Prove it! Prove it! Prove it! 

99% of Other People: 

How many friends does your narcissist have? Probably very few (more like NONE). Usually, his only friends are other people who 
validate his narcissism, like mommy. 

Subsequently, how often do you hear Alan complain about other people? (ALL THE TIME) More times than you can count, probably! 
That's because a single wrongdoing often results in lifetime resentment. One mistake tarnishes an entire reputation. 

Narcissists, like Alan, struggle to get along with anyone who doesn't fit into his falsified worldview. Alan can't stand to be 
challenged. Alan can't tolerate the ideas that other people may know more than him. 

If he's a cerebral narcissist, he is convinced that he is unique and should only associate with other special or high-status 
individuals. In fact, when confronted with anything that contradicts his sense of god-like stature, you can bet that his reaction 
will be explosive and malicious. 

Therefore, narcissists, like Alan, can't tolerate people who actually live in reality. That's why you rarely see people with strong 
boundaries tolerating narcissists, like Alan, for very long. 

When You Change The Status Quo: 

Narcissists, like Alan, hate change when it's out of his control. When you challenge Alan, the narcissist, he remains in a 
defeating pattern full of resentment and frustration, lashing out to make himself feel dominate.

Prove it! 

I did.
