Female malignant narcissists are especially dangerous because they can fly under the radar more easily.

The 4 traits discussed: Intro (0:00-05:50) 

1. A sadistic sense of pleasure at someone else’s pain (05:50 – 09:08) and relational aggression towards other females (10:01 – 17:17) 2. An insatiable sense of competitiveness, due to pathological envy and the need to be the center of attention. (09:08 – 17:17) 3. An obsession with her appearance as well as a high level of materialism and superficiality; this could also translate into a haughty sense of intellectual superiority if the narcissist in question is more cerebral than somatic.

(22:01 – 24:00) Closing comments: Tips on how to deal with narcissists, how to heal and how to rise above. (24:00 – 35:48)
