A self-confessed narcissist has revealed the most shocking tactics she’s used to manipulate other people.

TikTok user Lilith, who does not reveal her full name, took to the video-sharing platform to expose how she was taking advantage of people’s “triggers and traumas.”

She revealed that, in one extreme scenario, she had manipulated a man into giving her $150,000 over the course of three years despite “repeatedly telling her to kill herself.”

The social media user, who was officially diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder in 2021, has left commentators fiercely divided.

She revealed that, in one extreme scenario, she had manipulated a man into giving her $150,000 over the course of three years despite “repeatedly telling her to kill herself.”

Lilith, who has more than 22,000 followers, has posted a series of videos to reveal the tricks she used in the past, but insists she has since reformed.

In one of his most recent videos, which has been viewed more than 560,000 times so far, he responds to one of his followers who asks him what is the worst thing he has done to another person.

She begins: ‘This is going to be disgusting and embarrassing. I know that it doesn’t matter that I’m ashamed, what matters is that it’s wrong.

“So I’m prefacing this with: This is wrong and you shouldn’t be doing this to people and if you can relate to what I’m saying then maybe you should seek help.”

Lilith admits that she has always seen relationships as “mental chess”.

“Everything I said or did was planned and intended to get reactions and get people to do certain things, so I pushed people into really bad places,” he said.

The social media user said it would leave people ‘distraught’ and ‘traumatised’, adding: ‘It would take them back to their trauma and triggers.’

She continued, “I would slowly dose them with their triggers and their traumas to put them in fight or flight mode so I could have more control over them.”

Giving an extreme anecdote about her behavior, Lilith revealed that a man had sent her $150,000 during the coronavirus pandemic even though she treated him terribly.

She said: “I was telling him to kill himself, and I was being really mean and making him cry all the time, and I was lying to him and then giving him doses of what he wanted.”

‘But mostly it was really abusive. I was like, “You’re a piece of shit and nobody cares about you.”

“I just wanted to keep it so I could keep using it and I think complete disregard is the worst thing I’ve ever done.”

He candidly concluded: “I have to admit, there was a time in my life when I thought this was cool.

“I thought manipulating people and being able to implant thoughts into people’s brains through suggestive thoughts was cool and I liked doing it. Now I feel disgusted and I don’t think it’s right.’

Reflecting on the episode, Lilith later revealed that she had “offered to return some of the money and he refused.”

In one field, there were those who praised Lilith for her ‘bravery’ in acknowledging her past behavior.

But commentators were bitterly divided.

In a field, there were those who praised Lilith for her ‘bravery’ in acknowledging her past behavior.

One user wrote: “The fact that you admitted to this behavior is HUGE compared to a group of people who would deny it their entire lives.”

Another added: ‘Listen, this is HEAVY to admit. I don’t identify myself, but I can tell you, thank you very much for sharing and being vulnerable. I’m so glad you’re working on it.

And a third commented: ‘It takes so much strength and maturity to admit that. I don’t know you, but I’m proud of your growth. Thanks for sharing!’

But others said it was ‘inexcusable’.

Someone commented: ‘Oh hell no… No matter how “embarrassed” she is by her actions, this is unforgivable behaviour. The worst kind of person.

Another said: “I am absolutely DISGUSTED to hear this.”

One user simply asked: ‘How are people like this?’

Lilith then revealed that she had “offered to return a part of the money and he refused.”

But others couldn’t look past Lilith’s past treatment of others and instead called it “unforgivable.”

In other videos, he revealed that the best way to hurt a narcissist is to “take back the power.”

She said: “It’s the power that’s really painful to be taken from us because we’re powerless ourselves and we use other people to make ourselves feel powerful and if you give us power and then take it away, that’s what shocks us.” and in pain.

Everyone has narcissistic traits to some degree, but about one in 200 people in the United States are estimated to have narcissistic personality disorder, described as “a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy.”

It is also important to note that there are significant gender differences when it comes to the prevalence of the condition.

Studies suggest that about 75 percent of diagnoses are among men, according to recent figures.
