Tactics Used By Malignant Narcissists

Favoritism – This is when a narcissist in a position of power divides two other parties by abusing one, and showing preferential treatment to the other.

Projection – This is when a narcissist accuses you, typically in conversations behind your back, of the same destructive behavior he is engaged in.

Gaslighting – This is a form of emotional abuse in which the narcissist attempts to make you doubt your own recall and perceptions.

Hinting – Character disordered people are usually manipulative and persuasive. They drop “hints” with the full expectation you will take the bait. Oftentimes, this is done to set you up for a fall.
