    If you’re anything like me and are obsessed with true crime and serial killer documentaries then guys, THIS episode is for you!!!
    Today’s episode of Women of Impact is ABSOLUTELY PACKED with information and tactics so you can spot manipulators and their sleazy grooming process BEFORE they can sink their teeth into you!!
    Too many women feel helpless and powerless in situations where they realize they fell for the wolf in sheep's clothing. The reality is, 1 in 10 people are either a psychopath, sociopath, or a narcissist. And while there are differences between the 3 types of abusers, one thing they all have in common is that they will manipulate and con you for their benefit.
    This episode, with former CIA spy Andrew Bustamante, is here to educate and equip you to take control and protect yourself from people who don’t have your best intentions at heart.
    Andrew is the absolute expert in spotting these con-artists and has spent years of his life and career studying them! So he is super experienced, knowledgeable, and practical when it comes to spotting & shutting down manipulators.
    We cover SOOO much in this episode, including:
    - The 3 warning signs someone is the “1 out of 10” and is actively trying to manipulate and control you
    - The natural vulnerabilities most women have to being conned, and how to put up guardrails to protect yourself so you can avoid becoming a victim
    - How real world con artists like the Tinder Swindler, Dirty John, Ted Bundy, and Elizabeth Holmes target and hunt for their victims
    - International espionage tactics that the CIA and cons use to influence and manipulate people and how you can spot the signs and get out before it’s too late
    - Little things you can do to break your people-pleasing behaviors and shut down a manipulator
    - How you can test the empathy of someone new if you are suspicious of their intentions
    - The system an abuser will use to SLOWLY manipulate you
    - Why it’s SO important to be cautious about who you trust and not let new people in too quickly
    - How master manipulators use seduction, intimacy and sex to control you
    - Understanding the foundation and context behind seemingly suspicious behaviors in a person
    - How you can slow things down, protect yourself, and make decisions in your best interest
    - And SOOO much more!!
    Seriously guys, the odds of you coming across a con artist is virtually guaranteed, and whether it’s protecting yourself from a toxic romantic relationship, or protecting your grandma from a “helpful” neighbor that seems a little TOO friendly, learning these tactics can help you STOP the con before it starts and even potentially save your life.

      You got that right! I keep telling my narcissistic boyfriend that but I'm pretty much just talking to myself while he continues to act in ways that have proven over and over that there's no way he could sincerely care about me like he SAYS he does. If he did, he would NEVER treat me this way. He took me far from my family and friends, did something to my car so it no longer runs, refused to take me to get my driver's licence renewed and he leaves me here, out in the middle of nowhere, day after day. I'm alone in a strange place in the middle of the woods with no access to money or transportation. I cannot figure a way to get out of here because I can't afford to even get an Uber This is only a small sampling of his 'actions' while he tells me daily with his 'words' how much he loves me. It truly sickens me. I'm not fooled by him at all; I see just what and who he is. BUT -- it took me until after the love bombing to figure that out and by then it was too late as I was already stripped of all my freedoms and methods of escape. I try not to worry and while I'm here alone I spend much of the day trying to figure a way out and I believe and have hope that I will find that way soon. But again to your point - actions trump words every time and if you find you're with someone whose actions belie their words in a negative way, RUN! And do not look back. I'm serious... You don't want to end up like I have or maybe even worse. Sorry for rambling, your comment really struck a nerve in me with how totally accurate it is and how important it is. Thanks for putting it out there. 🙂🙋👌

    Women love attention! In my experience with several narcissists in pursuit of me, they are very consistent in the beginning-trying to see you or contact you everyday! Consistency does wonders in capturing a woman’s heart. The love bombing feels good and their goal is to get you in bed so you can have a soul tie with them and be stuck with them. That part never works because I am abstinent until marriage. Sometimes I don’t even have to reveal this. I just blocked another narcissist after two weeks of their crazy nonsensical behavior! I took a liking to the “good” things about him but it’s not worth my sanity dealing with someone that’s broken. Never settle ladies. You deserve a healthy relationship with a healthy man!

      This is excellent and true. It’s not normal attention though, it’s excessive bordering on creepy obsessive attention and you feel it. It feels off, and they will always make those tiny cutting remarks that you can easily miss or that they will pass off as jokes (careful though, the covert Narc will not do that, they’ll insult themselves). Good men don’t make jokes about women. You’ll feel it in your gut.
      A normal level of attention is ok, the borderline excessive attention is where women get caught and have forgotten how to differentiate.

      ​​​​​@@athanaisdcunfortunately, my intelligent sadistic, narcissistic psychopathic ex, and I don't claim that lightly, was very patient, but he also lovebombed my whole family and friends at a time we did not have that term or understanding. I had friends from countries who took kissing very seriously and thought that men should ask them to marry in six months as they take relationships and marriage seriously. I delayed marriage, thinking he would appreciate it, not knowing he would resent me for it and second guessing myself. He didn't rush me at all for sex (which would later become an abuse in itself) and was very patient, easy going, loving, very funny, generous, and gentle. I had already been in a bad relationship. His aunt set us up. I had known her two years. He always knew he was going to hurt me and take advantage of me. He wanted a wife and children to look normal so he could lead his double life undetected and distance himself from his unknown past. Once we had children I was trapped because I had to stay to protect them from being alone with him, but I kept comparing to the abusive experience I had previously and thinking it wasn't possible to have met two people this dark. I didn't fully comprehend, I was so naive. Now I recognize I was exposed to this as a child too, in extended family, teachers, and classmates. They develop this early and my parents were teaachers and my beautiful, loving, capable, positive mum wanted peace and was a people-pleaser. I could not be as good as her. I was taught to question my own part. My dad could not see evil. He was a very loving person and teacher. It was good for teaching, but we didn't have terms like narcissism as a scientific term, NPD or realize it in my grandfather and my aunt. However, they were not psychopathic, but charming and decent and my grandpa had great integrity in his public life in the same way that the real, full blown narcissists and psychopaths are decent and charming when they are reeling you in and fooling you and everyone around you, which makes it very hard to admit when they start treating you otherwise covertly, and it is such a scary, unsettling disappointment, but one which must be tackled head on. No one will believe you and it gets very dark very fast once they know you know. Don't tell them what you know. Plan.

    My ex-husband ran off because I told him "no" too many times, asserted my boundaries, and figured he was full of crap. I trusted him until his stories didn't match, so I tracked him and ran a background on him. Then filed for divorce, just when he thought he could crawl back thinking I would be begging for his love. I must be a different kind of woman. I saw my dad be dishonest to his mom, my mom's, and his ex-wives and girlfriends. Once I catch dishonesty, I am going to do a background on patterns. The lesson learned here, is to do the background first before you get serious in a relationship. It's a big time and money saver.

      Actually finding out every town they lived in, county and city arrest records and court rulings after adjudication is public knowledge, therefore free. You get more indepth information than the abridged version you get from a data mining company like Intellius that overcharge. Use your brain and do the digging. It tells more of the story. You can check driver's license status once they get a speeding ticket, because some public court records list their DL#'s. If you've ever shared assets, you can run a credit check on them and find out all the naughty financial issues they didn't tell you about. Use your head ladies. Knowledge is the power of making the informed decisions of cutting those manipulative users off. We got better things to do with our time.

      vulnerability is EARNED. trust is earned. when they want to start chipping away to get to that too early in, they are just trying to break in to damage you and take from you. i have always said, its funny how most men will go around agreeing that "men" are all liars and cheaters... but then most men also get pissed off when we don't put a religious-like faith in them instantly. if they aren't willing to slowly get to know you and earn the trust, they are not to be trusted.

      "being hurt badly" especially familialy from early childhood or developmental years is the very source traumas that are root causes of cluster b personality disorder trauma psychological coping mechanisms. Getting mad is factually not a correct response, however, If vulnerability and intimacy is not the direction observably being moved towards in an interpersonal relationship, it is factually a self sabotaging behavioral pattern to the relationship.

    Then I ask these questions:
    1. What are some of the red flags that you noticed from the beginning?.
    2. Why did you ignore it.?
    3. What do you want to do now?
    4. What will it cost you if you stay?
    5. How does this person make you feel?
    6. How did this relationship end?

    nearly 7 years after a 3 year relationship with a narc and i'm still healing - today, his current girlfriend apologised to me and thanked me for going out of my way to warn her 6 years ago
    all these years no one believed me, and now it's so ironic that she's the one giving me the validation i needed

      Validation always comes in the end. still waiting for mine from others 11 years later. don’t need it though. I no longer care. got some validation recently, from my replacement and having a conversation with both of them(i believe in no contact but was in a waiting room that I couldn’t leave). I was friendly, it no longer hurts/i no longer care. From the conversation I realised she had No confidence, clinging onto him, probably living in a fog. I realised she was where I once was. I did not feel sorry for her, she actively took him away, and was not nice in her dealings with me at the time, broken women that I was. I never knew who he was until then. Despite debilitating pain of the first 3 years after breakup , it was probably nothing to what had happened to me while living with him(yet I didn’t know it was the relationship. I thought it was me), I gave them a genuine smile as I left. I wished them well, but silently I was thanking her so much for setting me free. Had she not have come along I doubt I’d have been here now. I doubt she has any idea of the covert stuff she is living with and how it’s probably affecting her health and well-being.

    It has taken me an entire lifetime to stop blaming a 'bad picker' and instead understand there are so many manipulators and conmen out there - and to make it my whole business to never give the benefit of the doubt when dealing with the unknown and humans - I'm not talking about being paranoid. I'm talking about understanding many people just do not approach life and have standards such as mine and I must be keenly aware that the vast majority will not be for me. Time and time again I was astonished at how I ended up with a relationship where the person was someone I could not/should not - be with - to my detriment - and that there was very little that was benefiting me - and where all the benefit was coming from me

It won't tell you if they did something in another state, or obviously if they get away with crime. It's still worth a look. Also, yes there are one in 10 psychopaths, sociopaths and narcissists in society. But when you consider they find their targets online, you can consider a much higher percentage in dating sites.

      Try to find a copy of "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin de Becker. What it boils down to is that women have been made vulnerable by being conditioned to be nice, to people-please. Women put themselves in dangerous situations because they are afraid to be seen as "rude", as Huberman details. And woe be unto her who does not meet societal expectations. Prepare to be torn to shreds by other women. So pick your poison, because once a group of women decides they don't "like" you because you don't behave the way they think you should and go on social media and assassinate your character, you may prefer the killer. Once you quit doing everything others want you to do, have a mind of your own, and start exerting your free will, I think you will find the number climbs from 1 in 10 to 99 out of 100. Take it from someone who has Asperger's, the price of not folding to the will and demands of others is incredibly steep.

    After I married my ex husband I never trusted him. After we got married he told me that sex was me, not him…His boundary was I wasn’t allowed to have sex unless he came to me… That was a red flag to me. Over the yrs he used sex to punish me… So if he would normally want sex once a month & I made him upset he would make me wait another month. I learned not to try to seduce him through him slapping my hand. He was a huge gaslighter as well! He treated me like a child, one that he didn’t like lol. We were married for 30 yrs. He never told me that I was beautiful or smart. No credit for anything that I did. He took all the credit for our home projects . He was stoic & showed no compassion for my suffering , not even when I lost my parents. I had to be very methodical to get him to divorce me bc he was very good at looking perfect to the world. We’ve been divorced for 3 yrs & I’m so at peace being alone. I’m 58 & I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to be in another relationship again!

      @@sarahmurphy-nf4yl Thank you for your kind supportive words! It has been 3 yrs since our divorce. I just got back into working out & it feels great! I’m taking care of my mental & physical health!
      I’m not sure if I could ever be with a man again. I’m very content being alone! I’m at peace for the first time in my life! I don’t need the porn addiction or any womanizing that men justify bc they’re men lol. I date occasionally & it’s very disappointing to say the least! My BS detector goes off a lot! 😂
      I really just prefer to have guy friends without any sex… no extra benefits here!
      In my mind I think it would be nice to find love & not be alone but my body says hell no… I’m a Christian so I seek God for truth & he always tells me when a man isn’t right for me. He told me before I got married to Jim but I was only 24 & I didn’t understand that God was warning me, but I’m 58 today and now I listen to God’s warnings!
      God bless you as well! ❤️

    I have been in relationship with several severe, abusive and cheating narcissists, and both of my parents have narc traits. What I learned is that there is no such thing as an innocent victim of a narcissist (outside of childhood). We want something from them that in a way is our OWN narcissistic desire, that's why it's so easy to fool us. We have to be willing to give up the desire to be desired, wanted, and provided the "fantasy" life, or else we are very easy to manipulate. Take ownership and NEVER compromise for wanting to be "in a relationship", be "valued by some hot guy," or any other idolatrous behavior. Until we give up our OWN self centered desires we can fall for this crap.

      I agree with you to an extent. There is usually childhood trauma behind it. And can the desire be rooted in trauma and neglect etc... and cause many to "settle" so they get that hidden desire/need met. Yes. Can it be our own narcissistic desire, yeah but it depends. It can be a human desire that was never met without it being narcissistic. I say this, because many women and men already fault themselves plenty for "failing" to listen to their gut, failing to pay attention to red flags, and for failing to leave an abuser sooner and the list goes on. Many times it is not their fault. Ultimately as adults yes we are responsible! If it is rooted in childhood trauma and childhood environment, we need to give a large space of compassion and not blame to beautiful souls that usually are the ones that end up as narcissists targets. Again, yes there is a healing junction in someones journey where they need to take responsibility for healing, growing, educating self and avoiding toxic destructive relationships. But in the beginning a target needs validation and self compassion.

    This happens in friendships as well- not only romantic or familial relationships. Sadly, so many malignant narcissists claim their former failed friendships and relationships were with narcissists when they themselves are the abusive narcissists. This information is helpful. Beware of what people tell you because they will show you who they are soon enough.

    This is when I started my digital diary and documented everything
    I’m about 3 months after months of love bombing, I noticed he completely pulled away. Causing me to start chasing.
    This lasted just a few days before I remembered all of the podcast that I listen to.
    All 3 months I noticed he would ask me for things, want to spend the night a lot because it was closer to his job, and he would want me to buy him things.

I’ve always known something was off with him but I was always fascinated by how he was able to control people like a puppet master.

    So true about social norms.
    When I was 20 years old, I was walking to my apartment in broad day light and noticed a guy following me. There were so many opportunities for me tell someone, or just go into a restaurant, but I didn't want to look like I thought "I was pretty enough." or not be believed. I walked home with the intent, that I would walk right into my unit and shut the door. He got into my unit before me.
    Be careful out there. I didn't end up getting hurt that day, luckily. But it was close ... but the social norms women are taught just benefit preditors more and they know it. Good example mentioned here of Ted Bundy.
    And to add, I didn't even call the police afterwards. It didn't even cross my mind.

      What's trippy for me is I was friends with a person whom I ALMOST started a relationship with, when I first met him, I didn't have a good feeling about him, but unfortunately, I shrugged it off. Then one time, I had a dream that I was bitten by a green snake, I looked up the (biblical) meaning (I believe in Christ, so ofc some meanings can vary in dreams) & I learned that a green snake represented betrayal including betrayal of trust; I was oblivious to the red flags, the manipulation & the exploiting, & the lying that was going on in the "friendship"... after I cut ties with him, I looked back & I just thought about that dream & everything just connected together like a puzzle. I just thank God for getting me out of that relationship, forgave him (no, I did NOT come back to him), & moved on with my life (difficult journey, but worth it). So yea, at least for me, that just confirms your point on how the subconscious senses things the the conscious can't.

    I was raised by a pathological malignant narcissist con man. I loved my dad so much. He was charming & funny & interesting & people flocked to him like moths to a flame. He was a human wrecking ball. He was my dad. He brought the sunshine. And then he took it away. I watched my dad con & screw over every single person in his orbit, even his elderly widowed mother. Even his own kids. He really couldn't help himself. If he saw a mark, he was gonna take advantage of that mark, somehow, some way. It was if he was driven to it. Everyone that liked my dad was a mark, & everyone liked my dad. Right up until he screwed them over. It was just who he was. He exploited weaknesses like a crocodile hunts gazelle in a river.

      Yeah. & the "Loyalty" factor, "give 'em a 2nd chance", "through thick & thin", "for richer...for poorer" (the subtly over-time jobless hobosexual parasite who can't seem to hold down a job, financially reckless; in-between relationships & unfinalized divorce from the "estranged" wife they vaguely claim they "plan to leave SOON"); explain away their misbehaviors &/or "victimhood": "they're having a bad day", "they're going through tough times", blah, blah, blah...[It's ALL one, big: CON!]

    I have been going throught PTSD due to a covert narcassist and the manipulations and fear. I had so many fears and questions and keep wondering certain things and feeling unsafe, not being able to sleep properly and not trusting myself or know if I can ever trust others but OMG this Talk has answered SO many questions! A 100x Thank you! ❤

    Yep. I'm glad that I fought through my own blind spots and eventually left the person who isolated, manipulated, and abused me.
    It was just as difficult to find and heal the reasons for my attraction to people who I saw as "strong," but who were actually so weak in character that they felt they had to control others to have self worth. The anger is fading, the triggers are fading... but it's a lifetime process to be empathetic, loving and open without feeling the need to rescue or be rescued.

    His suggestion for how to determine if someone is a psychopath or sociopath, struck a raw nerve with me. We have an epidemic of flakiness in our society. I would say 80% of the things people call me to ask me to do they not only don’t follow through, they don’t respond to calls or texts about why they didn’t follow through and then they never call to even apologize because they’re embarrassed or whatever their reason is. I literally had a friend out of town wanting to come rent my spare room. I got it ready halfway she never showed never called then out of the blue called again three months later said she was on her way. Would be there in two days, we busted our butt to get it ready. She came into town never showed never called got an apartment with somebody else and never apologized.. I have a girl who calls me every day and says, can I come over and see you then never shows never calls back never apologizes it’s totally off the chain, upsetting how people act these days. So no, I would not use a reaction to being stood up as proof they’re a socio/psychopath. People are over being manipulated and if you’re so self entitled it’s nothing to you to stand people up, you’re not worth it‼️

    My narcissist has no empathy, will never apologize, consistently insults my intelligence, always wants to "make a bet". Talks loud because he's half deaf then says to me "stop screaming you're hurting my ears". He has gotten 3 people at work fired " because they can't do anything right" and is now working on getting the office manager fired because of course, she is incompetent as well. He won't cut the grass or take out the garbage. Tells me my dog likes him better than me and he actually started saying "Get Her" so that the dog started to attack me. He also won't pay his fair share, nickle and dimes on food and controlling A/C so he can live for $250/month and stash his money in his checking and his 401K. I haven't divorced him yet because he will try taking me to the cleaners.

      You definitely have a true narcissist. Throw him a curve ball when you actually get to leaving…..something he can’t anticipate or has time to manipulate you from doing your way. Don’t linger in conversation…..when that time comes….get out and put your safety first. Don’t get sucked back in. Don’t give him to much time to think of how he can reel you back in. Leaving is the most dangerously time. Good luck dear😢
