BAD CHARACTER

I know a man who when his mother passed, I went with my mother then to commiserate with him and we gave him some money as a condolence gift.

Fast forward to when my mother passed, the same man has never bothered to extend same gesture at least for the sake of the fact that he was close to my mother and she had been of immense help to him and his family when she was still alive.

Not that I expected anything from him per se but circumstances have recently revealed the kind of person he really is, in undeniable and clear ways.

I have seen things that he did to undermine and sabotage my parents and their interests.

Matter of fact, he has instead tried to shortchange me at any given opportunity that presents itself.

A most intriguing thing is that there are possibilities and indications of undercover wickedness with mixed signals of charisma and pockets of selective goodness. 

Same venomous attitude has been experienced by many other people who have worked with him.

I have my insights from all I have seen so far.

But of course he denies it all when confronted.

The man is indeed a complicated person and definitely a highly manipulative, crafty, arrogant, selfish, sinister, insecure and vindictive character.

It’s tough to give him honest feedback because he hardly really listens but argues a lot, fights to win every argument even when he isn’t making sense, feels he knows it all, feels too insecure to admit that he is wrong, sabotages anything that he is not in control of and loves to take the glory for any good.

Such people never admit wrong, rather they will counter with gaslighting, false accusations and campaigns of calumny as a vindictive and punitive act amongst many other petty and selfish actions.

For these reasons, many are scared or unwilling to speak up.

Did I hear you say narcissist? Can say that again.

When elders disappoint, what do younger ones do?

Abientot! 

Infact, odiegwu!
