You cannot go online these days without encountering the word “narcissist”. Everyone and everywhere is now talking about this personality mental disorder. Ladies and gentlemen welcome to this now widespread epidemic that has come out into the open. Many of you have no idea about this. Unfortunately, many of you now know about this like myself, because you have found yourself in battle against one, possibly more than one.

    I remember the first time I saw the word “narcissist”. It was on IG and as I read on, I had an “aha moment”. I never heard the term before and never knew this was an actual “thing”. At this point in my life, I was trying to solve what appeared to be a puzzle that had emerged, of my ex bf’s odd but specific behavior patterns over a coarse of many years. Bam! There it was and finally it all made sense! Through reading and self educating on this personality mental disorder, it not only armed me but also helped me to identify the new narc I had encountered recently. I highly recommend reading the online blogs and books by H. G. Tudor. He will help educate and weaponize you against these predatory monsters.

       With all that being said, I have noticed that although the specifics are being put out there, there is something new people need to be aware of. Allow me to introduce you to a new “hoover” tactic being deployed by narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths.
The number switch app technique.

     The number switch app hoover goes like this….you have blocked the narcissist everywhere and have gone complete “no contact”. The narcissists have found a loophole to bypass being blocked on your phone. They utilize an app that changes their number therefore bypassing your phone block on them and this enables them to text and call you.  And there you have it folks!

    So if you experience this new kind of hoover you can do the following: block the new numbers contacting you immediately , screenshot and document all the texts and save the voicemails as evidence. From here you have one of two options. Option one is keep blocking the new numbers that the texts and calls come from, enter wishful thinking, the narc gets tired and if your lucky it might stop. Option two is take all this evidence of aggravated harassment and stalking to law enforcement to get help and an order of protection.       

    Everyone says the best way to beat a narc is to go no contact and ignore them. Sometimes that isn’t enough and doesn’t work. Everyone’s danger level with these predatory monsters varies, do not hesitate to seek help and protection from law enforcement. These people can be dangerous and sometimes things will and do escalate.

    You have a right to live in peace and to not be hunted by a predatory monster on a daily basis.
