PERP SAVVY
Malignant narcissism is a complex and harmful form of narcissism that incorporates aspects of antisocial behavior, sadism, and paranoia. While narcissism and psychopathy can manifest differently in women compared to men, it's important to understand the characteristics of the presentation.
Underlying Insecurities Despite the grandiose fantasies that are common in all narcissists, vulnerable narcissists struggle with deep-seated insecurity, low self-esteem, and hypersensitivity to criticism or perceived slights.
Introverted and Shy Exterior They may present as introverted or shy, and appear emotionally fragile or even victimized in interactions.
Passive Aggressive Tactics They may employ passive-aggressive behaviors like covert manipulation, guilt-tripping, or playing the victim to get their needs met and gain sympathy or admiration.
Need for Validation They have a constant need for external validation and attention to shore up their fragile sense of self.
Darker Aspects The addition of psychopathic traits to vulnerable narcissism can intensify the manipulative, exploitative, and antagonistic aspects of their personality.
Lack of Empathy & Remorse The lack of empathy inherent in psychopathy will be amplified, making it even harder for them to understand or care about the feelings or suffering of others.
Cruelty & Sadism Malignant narcissists, especially those with comorbid psychopathy, may derive pleasure from causing pain and enjoying the downfall of others.
Manipulative Guise They may use their perceived vulnerability and emotional instability as a manipulative tool to control others and achieve their goals. They may present as empathic and caring while using those stereotypical feminine characteristics as a manipulative tool.
Diagnosis Malignant narcissism is not a formal diagnosis in the DSM-5, but rather a descriptive term used by some clinicians. However, the individual symptoms and behaviors associated with this presentation are often diagnosable as personality disorders like Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Antisocial Personality Disorder.
Gender Differences Women with psychopathic traits may exhibit different behavioral expressions than men, often including more emotional instability, verbal violence, and manipulation of social networks, and less criminal or instrumental violence.
Difficult to Identify Vulnerable presentation can make malignant narcissism in women especially difficult to identify, as their outward behaviors may not align with the typical image of a "narcissist."
Impact on Relationships Individuals with this combination of traits can be highly destructive to personal relationships due to their manipulative tendencies, lack of empathy, and emotional instability.
It is critical to remember that this is a complex and potentially dangerous combination of traits that can cause significant harm to others. If you suspect you are dealing with someone exhibiting these characteristics, seeking professional guidance and prioritizing your own safety and well-being is important.
A Narcissistic Sycophant Is someone who combines narcissistic traits with sycophantic behavior. They are individuals who crave admiration and attention (narcissism) while simultaneously engaging in excessive flattery and subservience (sycophancy) towards someone they perceive as powerful or influential, often to gain favor or personal benefit. These individuals are prone to manipulation. They are often referred to as "flying monkeys" and "minions."
He has spent a lot of time around her; eight years. If there is no hyperbole coming from him, and his bias is not so much that, but his overwhelming saturation of experience with her. Would this make his assessment of her more or less palatable?
This is her, according to him... "She has a Master in Adult Education, she is a highly skilled ASL interpreter, and is well-read, with more than above-average intelligence. She gardens, bakes, plays a variety of musical instruments, and can muddle around in several languages. She doesn't smoke, tends to be participating in quirky hobbies, usually for a reason. Everything is done for a reason. She is frugal, on the surface. But will spend obscene amounts of time, energy, and money on some pursuits. These pursuits are directed at causing another harm. Her personal appearance is not typical. She doesn't wear makeup, doesn't wear expensive clothes, nor is her clothing form fitting. Despite her outward effect, she exudes sexuality without even trying. Some men get it, others don't."
"Her presence on social media is carefully crafted into a persona that reflects her known hobbies. Pro-diversity and a smattering of volunteering at various nonprofits is well documented on her Facebook account. Included are over-the-top responses to various events that she states have been experienced. To her this is a character witness of a sort. It is how Ms. Magnusson affirms who she wants others to see. Many times she has stated that it's impossible for someone who works with charities and gardens, volunteers, and other such goodness, to behave the way that she is accused of."
"Her narcissism presents itself as vulnerable. She has all the grandiosity; however, it is manifested through her daughter. She is ego-syntonic, sadistic, Lacks any obvious empathy, compassion, sympathy, or any other real emotional capability; except for seething anger or hatred, when provoked. She can fake the emotional response well if she has previously rehearsed the expected response. Otherwise, she is prone to mirroring a response. Her ad-hoc attempts at portraying an emotion are apparent."
"What's real and what is not. Thea Magnusson claims to have thirty years of experience playing the violin and cello. Currently, she is passing herself off as a teacher of the violin and cello. When put to the test, she will fail. In the eight years I have known her, she has never played a single piece of music from memory and lacks an ear for music. What she has learned is the technical requirements of reading music, and the vocabulary associated with music. This is why she is able to pass herself off as an instructor."
"The same is true about her language ability. Her claims of proficiency in Spanish and French are just enough to impress a lay person. When put to the test, she fails. When asked to order food in Spanish from the menu, she would not do it. She claims to possess conversational German skills. Yet when asked to speak German, she would not. The image below shows that she has a propensity for sexual encounters with cousins, step-brothers and other assorted relatives. The individual in the text exchange is Eric White. He is the son of Travis Fretter's long-time partner. Travis being Thea Magnusson's father."
Thea Felice Magnusson, who was still Xenia Marlene Fretter, at that time, decided that she would sacrifice anyone to convince PPO that she is not the person he knows her to be. He had told her he is aware of her actions, and he wants her to stay away from him. Ms. Magnusson doesn't let any man tell her he is done with her. She decided to use her work assignment as her cover. This would have no impact on the overall situation. She sent a photo of her work assignment to him. In the photo she had sent him were the names, date, time, and location of where she would translate for two little girls. The two girls were the primary witnesses in a human trafficking case.
The lead investigator for the case was called. They had a short conversation; PPO sent the investigator the information requested in an encrypted email. Then he was told he should stay away from people in general for the next two days.
How do you evaluate the actions of Ms. Magnusson? Divulging information of this nature is unprofessional, unethical, and morally repugnant. Did she give this vital information to the wrong person? No. If anything, she told the right person.
There isn't a lot of information available from RID (Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf). RID was unwilling to communicate regarding the final decision related to Ms Magnusson. Fortunately, RID is not the only source of information on this matter. This can be seen in the photos below The outcome of Ms. Magnusson's hearing was a fairly mundane punishment for what she had done. RID also discovered that Ms. Magnusson is an intravenous drug user, with a serious drug addiction. Even with that added on, she got a slap on the wrist. A three-month suspension, fifteen hours of mentoring, a self-reflection and assessment report, and an affidavit stating she would follow the rules. The entire matter would have been wrapped up in ninety days.
As far as Thea Magnusson was concerned, this was entirely PPO's fault. Ms. Magnusson chose to end her career instead of accepting the punishment. She could have gone on sabbatical and ignored any rumors afterward. This would have been forgotten.
How did I become the author of this website? I purchased some sunglasses from a guy on Facebook Market Place. I asked him if he had anything else to sell. He gave me the run-down on the phones and digital storage devices he had available. Before he would sell me anything, he told me that the phone comes with a rather serious warning. By the time he finished explaining the warning, I was certain he was full of it. Hyperbole is what I assumed. Upset because his ex, if you could call her that, got over on him. But a non-stop, rentless effort to ruin his life on every level? I did not believe that.
Then he made me a bet. He gave me a list of things to expect and a list of things that shouldn't be happening on a modern cell phone. I also agreed to take one of the external hard drives with me. Here's the wager. He wouldn't wipe the phone, and I had to look through the hard drive. Two weeks was the time limit we agreed on. If I came back within the two weeks and was not convinced, the phone was completely accessible to someone else. That the data on the drive did not appear alarming in any way. He would give me back the money, and I could keep the phone and drive.
To win this bet, I had to make an appearance in two weeks and get my money. I was back in five days. I had questions related to the information on the drives. The phone produced almost every behavior he stated that it would. Yes, this could have been him doing this. Considering the wager, what would be the point. He was convinced I would be back.
I wanted to know the correlations between the drive contents and the events he said happened. What if any good would it do him? Too much time may have passed, and he has spent a lot of time in jail. What he does have is enough circumstantial evidence to cause you to think. The more I saw, the more I understood that I couldn't say it was not true.
How much of what he said was bias-based? After all this time, his focus has been on his situation. This would cause anyone's thoughts to be skewed. I asked questions and he answered some of them. Others were not answered. The reasons I thought would be shame and embarrassment; these were clear. It wasn't long before I discovered there was a lot of damage. He has shown me physical scars; not all of them. Those scars will never be seen. Even though I haven't seen the scars, this doesn't mean there are none. The problem is believing how he got them. The more I went through the information on the drives, correlations began to take shape. Patterns of behavior started to appear. When you combine these little things with the handful of big things that are easily fact-checked, it becomes clear that all of these events may have occurred. While my personal experience is limited, I do not see how someone could fabricate all of this?
