People Say the Most Amazing Things

What readers say about CNI.

As regulars have often heard, CNI’s mission and philosophy almost always provides moral clarity. One of my favorite moral questions to ask is, “Does this serve the mission of bringing greater understanding and defense against malignant narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths or is there some self-aggrandizement in there?”

I certainly don’t begrudge anyone’s honest self-promotion but the beauty of CNI is the clarity that I would be a hypocrite of biblical proportions if I ever made Counter-Narcissism about myself, with the exception of serving the mission.

This of course means that while I am very proud of what CNI has accomplished and the audience we have been able to build so far, it should never be about me, unless sharing personal experiences or lessons that humanize or crystalize the psychological.

First and foremost, CNI always strives to provide honest and straightforward common sense, empirical science, deeper truths, moral clarity and solutional intelligence in dealing with malignant narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths.

Secondly, we add a slight filter toward the positive and entertaining because laughing at the darkness takes away its power, and linking “defense against the dark arts” lessons with pop culture makes abstract counters and defenses easier to remember.

Therefore, I am honored and humbled to share a few of the joyful and unifying comments I have received over the last few years about how CNI is helping people process the complicated psychological issues we are now forced to deal with across the globe, in a “tsunami of gaslighting.”

Of course several are very complimentary to me personally, but when I ask CNI if this distracts from the most important things, which are to provide positivity with the progress we are making, the lives we are touching, to tell all who feel similar that they are not alone, and that CNI is another positive community bringing clarity in dark times, it becomes clear that people saying nice things about me is not a reason to hold back positive comments that others will recognize and find confidence and comfort in.

Indeed, one of our most powerful defenses against narcissists is finding joy and unity with others in the face of narcissistic gaslighting, because our joy and unity strengthens us and weakens them exponentially.

In the big picture, perhaps the most important positive thing to keep in mind is that psychology can be used against malignant narcissist-types too, if done very wisely, strategically and together.

The base of any effective counter against a narcissistic power is to understand the specifics of who and what you are up against, build up confidence and ideally have a large and powerful unified force with resources behind you. Aka strength in numbers. What a strange coincidence that narcissists are always trying to confuse and divide us.

Hopefully, by seeing that you are far from alone and not “a crazy one” when it comes to recognizing a hidden malignant narcissism epidemic infecting our societies, everyone including those feeling isolated will gain confidence by processing how many of us there are, that think tank communities like CNI that are working to address these problems are growing, and should be financially supported by those who are able.

Thank you all for your moral and financial support. Narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths are always trying to isolate us from our support networks so there are few things more important, effective or rewarding than building up support tools, communities and resources to counter malignant-type sharks swimming among us.
