Madea’s Idiot’s Guide to Narcissists

Don’t Let ‘Em Play You, Baby

“Alright baby, let me break this down nice and simple, ‘cause these narcissists out here will have you thinking you the one that’s crazy. Uh-uh. Not today. Here’s the tea:”

See, a narcissist will walk in your life smiling like they bringing you blessings from heaven, when really they just brought chaos in a Gucci bag.

They will flip the script so many times you will be dizzy, wondering if you forgot the plot. That is their game. They get power not by being right, but by making you question yourself. Next thing you know, you apologisin’ for something they did!

The narcissist is not in love with you, they are in love with the game.

A performance.

A transaction.

A trick.

The Power of Boundaries and the Courage to Walk Away

In leadership and in life, growth often begins with one simple, difficult decision, I will no longer tolerate what dishonours my worth.

Narcissists thrive in environments where entitlement goes unchecked and respect is one-sided. But the moment you draw a boundary, firmly and without apology, you shine a light on behavior they’ve long kept hidden in the dark. That light doesn’t just reveal their manipulation, it challenges their illusion of control.

Make no mistake, the empowered individual who says “enough” is not the problem. They are the beginning of the solution.

You see, narcissists are not angered because you've wronged them. They’re angered because you’re no longer willing to participate in the illusion that their needs matter more than yours. Their resentment is not a reflection of your failure, it’s a reaction to your freedom.

Let’s Talk Love Bombing 1.0  

Love Bombing 1.0 is  a quick fire post on the confusing charm offensive that too many of us have mistaken for “true love.” Imagine this,  you meet someone and suddenly it’s fireworks, front-row seats to their affection, 24/7 texting, surprise flowers and an engagement ring by week three.

Sounds like a fairy tale? Think again. This is less Disney, more psychological chess match.

Love bombing is not about love, it’s about control wrapped in compliments. This early phase of narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationships is designed to get you hooked fast. We’re talking about intense flattery (“I’ve never met anyone like you”), extravagant gifts, rushed future talk and constant contact, all carefully crafted to make you feel chosen… before they slowly chip away at your sense of reality.

But here’s the kicker, this isn’t always done with malice. People with trauma histories, ADHD, or anxious attachment may…

Never Again Knowledge, Healing & Protection After Narcissistic Abuse

Sis, let’s break the silence and speak truth in this sacred space.

Far too many women strong, intelligent, nurturing women have found themselves caught in the web of a narcissist or sociopath. And let’s be clear, it wasn’t because you lacked value. It was because they saw your light and made it their mission to dim it. But today, we take our power back.

The truth is, narcissists don’t prey on weakness. They prey on goodness.

They target people with open hearts and generous spirits. Women who forgive easily, who extend second chances, who see the best in others even when it hurts. But here’s the thing without the right tools, many of us didn’t even realise what we were up against. We mistook love bombing for love. We mistook gaslighting for miscommunication. We mistook control for care.

The Neurological and Psychological Impact of Narcissistic Abuse

The psychological aftermath of narcissistic abuse is neither imaginary nor exaggerated. It is a well-documented and deeply impactful form of trauma that can lead to a cascade of neurophysiological and psychological disturbances. Survivors often present with a complex array of symptoms, many of which are reflected in the image shared.

Let’s explore some of the most common conditions through a scientific and clinical lens:

Breaking Free from the Narcissist’s Love Trap: The Case of Kyle Clifford

At first, a narcissist’s love feels like intoxicating passion—deep, all-consuming, and seemingly perfect. But like any addiction, the initial high fades, revealing a cycle of control, emotional withdrawal and devastation. The tragic case of Kyle Clifford, the UK crossbow killer, is a chilling reminder of what happens when narcissistic tendencies escalate into dangerous obsession. Clifford brutally murdered his ex-girlfriend, Louise Hunt, her mother Carol, and her sister Hannah in their home after she ended the relationship. His actions reflect the dark reality of narcissistic rage, where a loss of control can lead to deadly consequences.

Kyle Clifford’s case highlights the severe risks associated with narcissistic attachment, entitlement and violent possessiveness. After the breakup, Clifford was unable to accept that…
