Control the Narcissist and Win the Argument with This Frightening Tip
Never Lose Another Argument with the Narcissist or the Psychopath
Language and communication are the frontline secret weapon of the narcissist and the psychopath.

There is no need for violence, verbal threats, or aggression. Language is all they need to trap their victims. But surely there must be a way to counteract these attacks?

This can be onto people or other causes perceived to be worse than what they are being accused of such as global warming, wars, or current events.
