Why did I, Angela Myer, write the book, The Undetected Narcissist?

I have always been curious about human nature and what makes us tick. I have worked with people all over the globe. People with diverse beliefs, backgrounds, religions, professions, family issues, and traumatic experiences. In writing this book, I started to change. I was first in a place of anger, like most victims. Then, as the anger melted and my heart opened, I could see things more clearly. I started to put the puzzle pieces together when it comes to childhood trauma, domestic violence, narcissism, and how we treat one another.

Therefore, I wrote this book to shine my light into the world, for I was in the dark like many others. I had to heal my wounds and pick myself back up. When I realized that our story is happening to others around the world, I felt a strong urge to write this book. I needed to share our story to spare millions of children and families from abuse, trauma, and pain.

Like many other victims, I went on a quest to learn more about narcissistic traits and behaviors. I sadly discovered that many websites and blog posts were not coming from a place of love, compassion, understanding, and forgiveness, but from a place of anger, hate, and victimization. If you genuinely want to heal and discover your authentic self, you must come from a place of LOVE!

Victims of narcissistic abuse have been led down the path of being afraid because FEAR has been their teacher. I want to take a different approach. I want LOVE to be your teacher. Fear is all about force, and the energy/vibration of fear is weak. If you Google images of “Clinically Proven Map of Consciousness”, you will see that the energy levels below 200 are false, lack integrity, and do not support life. Energy levels above 200 have truth, Integrity, and support life.

The Undetected Narcissist is designed to illuminate those dark places of confusion, victimization, and crazy drama. I intend to lift you. If you are struggling with a narcissistic person, let me take your hand. Let me guide you back home and give you the strength to speak your truth, set healthy boundaries, educate yourself, and see through all the crazy drama. I want to empower you and have your inner light shine brightly again. Then, you can shine your light into the world, creating a wave of change.

Throughout my journey in writing this book, I became curious about how a person becomes narcissistic, as they are not born that way. The narcissistic person was either abused, raised in an unhealthy environment, neglected, the parenting style was rigid and controlling, and/or did not receive the empathy they needed from their caregivers. If you are taught or shown empathy as a child, you will most likely not have empathy as an adult. A child is a sponge. A child is fed information and beliefs that shape their life. It shapes their perspective on the world as they become adults. And what if that child or young adult was taught to believe that it is terrible to have empathy? What if they were conditioned to see, think, or feel that empathy was a weakness instead of a strength?

Young boys can be overwhelmed with mixed messages about what it means to be a MAN. Here are a few examples:

• Do not be such a cry baby.

• Stop being so whinny.

• You need to learn the art and essence of keeping your mouth shut.

• Children are meant to be seen, not heard.

• Your opinion does not matter to me.

• Suck it up, be a man.

• Men don’t cry.

• Walk it off, you’re an embarrassment.

• You cry more than your younger sister.

• Crying is a sign of weakness.

• I don’t care what you have to say, I am the adult.

• I don’t care how you feel, I am the boss.

• To be a man, you have to be tough.

• You are weak pussy.

• Stop acting like a girl. Only girl’s cry.

• Stop embarrassing yourself. Get a grip!

Those statements above lack love, understanding, kindness, and compassion. In my professional opinion, it wounds a person. Therefore, a belief can be formed that it is too painful to feel. It’s too painful to care about another person because everyone you love hurts you. It is too painful to fall in love again when your partner or spouse rejects you.

To be a man, you must have no emotions. Yet, that is a lie—a lie to yourself and the world. I know narcissistic people do have emotions. Anger is an emotion. So is rage, anxiety, fear, hate, trust, acceptance, and joy. I have seen and felt the love a narcissistic parent has for their newborn.

Not all narcissistic people are harmful or dangerous. I think they are often misunderstood and mislabeled. In my opinion, the worst thing to say to a narcissist is that they are narcissists. There are better ways to communicate without resorting to blame, shame, guilt, or judgment. Why? Well, a narcissistic person has experienced blame, shame, guilt, and judgment from the people they cared for the most. Nobody wants more negative reinforcement or to be placed inside a box labeled…you are not good enough, you’re broken or damaged goods.

 75% of all narcissistic people are men. 25% are women.

I have heard that a narcissist cannot change and will not change. This is not true. I have worked with a few who were willing to change. Change takes courage. You must be brave to allow yourself to become vulnerable. You must also feel safe with the person you are communicating with. You must be courageous to speak your truth regarding your painful past. As a narcissist, you have to be open to listening to how your behaviors and actions impact another person. Regarding open communication, we all need to feel safe expressing all emotions without projection or blame.

The best qualities I have witnessed in a narcissist are trust and loyalty. A narcissist does not give trust; you must earn it. When they have your trust, you might see a different side of them.

Some people have thick skin, and others do not. I believe that a narcissist is attracted to an empath because they do feel more deeply. An empath is connected, and the narcissist longs for that connection. They craved that connection as children and young adults. The narcissist might have learned that they must stuff down their feelings and not care about another person to survive. If narcissists do not receive empathy from their primary caregivers, they might seek out a sense of belonging by joining a gang or connecting with other wounded people. Either way, the empath makes them feel alive again. The empath accepts them when others reject, abandon, shame, or betray them. The problem is that these beautiful, empathic people are being traumatized and wounded. The light within them is weakened, and it must stop!

When we leave our parents’ home or home environment, we can create our outer world. The problem is when we come from a dysfunctional home, we will gravitate and attract people who are like our parents or caregivers because it feels normal. If you came from a home where you were walking on eggshells, that would be normal for you. After all, drama and chaos will feel normal if you grew up in a dysfunctional world. Yelling, explosive anger, fighting, beating women, abusing another person, and name-calling will be standard.

If we want to create a world of peace, harmony, and cooperation, we must look inside ourselves. How we parent our children matters, and so do the messages we feed them. Let your actions match your words, as it can be confusing for a child when they do not align with your actions.

This book, “The Undetected Narcissist,” is here to help you change your perspective and maybe connect the dots to your family trauma that was passed down from generation to generation. But it starts with YOU. You can be that living example of change. It just takes courage, resilience, hope, and a willingness to live a better life for yourself and future generations.

The Undetected Narcissist can be a road map to detecting and decoding narcissist traits and behaviors. It can also be a warning sign for narcissists to stop. It is time to stop hurting people and start finding yourself again. It is time to start living, not just existing. This book is for everyone because I care about you and future generations.
