Addicted to POWER!
What gives a person POWER? The ability to CONTROL.
Who has more POWER the empathic person or person with no conscience?
The person with no conscience.
Why do people lie? To CONTROL the situation.
Why do people want POWER? Because it makes them feel good.
If you are “addicted�?to POWER, it means you “MUST have POWER�?. Everytime you get POWER it gives you a high (like a drug).
How do you get POWER? You choose someone who you think you can CONTROL, by lies, by rages, by gaslighting, exploitation, by manipulation, etc. Everytime you are successful at CONTROLLING the other (i.e., wielding your POWER), you’ve reinforced your addiction to POWER with another FIX.
You cannot love or feel empathy, because these two emotions inhibit of your ability wield POWER over others and CONTROL them . Love and empathy prevent you from getting the FIX you need. With love and empathy you would not be able to hurt others and that would reduce your POWER and CONTROL.
You lie, rage, gaslight, blame, manipulate etc. often “out of the blue�? when there is for no reason to do so. But there is a definite reason . . . you need a FIX “now�?. You need to CREATE a situation that gives you a fix, inorder to feel good. You have a need to exert your POWER immediately.. You are effecting other people . . . making them doubt their sanity, making them focus on “what the hell is going on�?, or “why would he/she do that�?. This is POWER! This is CONTROL! and this is what makes the Narcissist/Psychopath feel good again. “It is another fix�?
When we realize that these children have an “ADDICTION TO POWER�? . . what the psychopath/narcissist/ASPD/sociopath behaves, makes sense!

Most addicts are self distructive. If you are addicted to food, or gambling or alchohol or drugs etc. . . .The addiction takes over, and you are self destructive. I don't think it is any different with A POWER addiction. Yes, they have no control of themselves . . because they are addicted to controlling "OTHERS" at their own expense.

I asked my trouble P many years ago exactly what it was that he wanted His reply - "Anarchy" So I asked him what anachy meant and he replied "No Rules" So I told him - "So there you are - you can't have anarchy. You want to have "no rules" but if you insist on "anarchy" there you are - you have one rule already Sparky |

After a painful year of no contact w/ my son, we exchanged emails.. I felt an inner voice say to "don't ask questions". When I got his reply, it was all bragging about his latest trips w/ a church youth group to different countries. GAG. Not one question of how we were doing.. how his siblings were, etc. That's when I realized that asking questions is a vulnerable tactic that the Lord warned me about. That was 2 yrs ago. He still asks no questions.. just likes to brag about what he has and is doing. Questions =Vulnerability |
