When A Person Thinks They are God-like
Narcissists sometimes develop a God complex, thinking they are infallible.

I said I wasn’t interested and that I wanted nothing to do with you.
When I asked you to please change your behavior, to heal from your own issues, and to see yourself as flawed—not as a god—what you did was blame it all on me. You attacked me violently for not portraying you as higher than you are, then constantly told me that I needed to look outside myself and run after someone else to tell me how to navigate my life and how to heal—suggesting I was the one who needed healing (not that I don’t do my own healing, I do), while you were beyond reproach. You also started playing the victim to the extreme.
A real victim needs to be acknowledged as the victim in a dynamic. Once this acknowledgment happens, the energy can clear, and things can resolve.
Yes, the only thing I am interested in is energy—stuck energies, wrong beliefs about other people, or an emotional traffic jam—being cleared so I don’t have to constantly feel that. By emotional traffic jam, I mean clearing emotions within yourself without, yet again, telling the other person what kind of (illegitimate) emotion you’re constantly feeling—trying to manipulate them into feeling sorry for you, or painting yourself as the victim while obsessively portraying the other person as the perpetrator.
Then also pushing this emotion into the other person’s body so they’ll feel aggravated—so your hatred and anger end up in the other person, who isn’t able to deal with extreme emotions, especially once she is receiving them not in homeopathic doses, but in overwhelming amounts, daily. If you’re angry, jealous, greedy—whatever—deal with your emotions. Resolve them within yourself. Let other people be in their own energy, instead of constantly talking, talking, talking about senseless things, never resolving any of these emotions within yourself, and then intimidating the other person because they weren’t willing to listen to yet another story about how the person who horrifically abused them for years is supposedly the victim of the victim.
The one giving them the silent treatment. The one who expects them to listen to yet another boring story—without consent—where she’s being treated as some kind of… mother, therapist, or I don’t know what.
You’re a person loaded with negative emotions, constantly pushing those emotions onto the other person instead of keeping them in your own space and dealing with them in a grown-up manner. I’m not interested in people who constantly talk, talk, talk but never actually resolve anything in real life. They don’t resolve any of their emotions. They don’t resolve any of their wrong beliefs about others (such as their misogyny), but instead blame you for being an evil human being who didn’t allow them to remain in your life to keep on raping you.
And you certainly never resolve any problems in a way that actually brings resolution—instead, you create 100,000 new problems every day. Don’t put your emotional and relationship trash where it doesn’t belong. Leave others be.
You pretend that everyone else is responsible for dealing with your emotions. But they are not. You’re a grown-up. You have to act like a grown-up—not a little child who thinks they’re doing nothing wrong by harassing, intimidating, threatening, and manipulating other people.
Your grandiosity—well, it stinks. You are inherently flawed, as a person who is rather narcissistic—not a perfect human being who is perfect and has utter intelligence. All I have been experiencing is childish behavior, you taking on no responsibility at all, joining incel groups and doing I-don’t-know-what that endangers other people. Your misogyny—did you ever take responsibility for healing that, so you wouldn’t kill an innocent woman for rejecting you and your sick advances? No. Get out of my life and never come back. After years of telling you that you need to take responsibility for yourself instead of pushing others into yet another dangerous situation, all you’ve done is project that need onto other people and push your responsibilities onto them.
You don’t even come close to the level that would be needed for a person to stay in my life—being humble, feeling gratitude, taking responsibility for their own messing up, messing up their own career, messing up other people’s lives, sabotaging everything, and creating clutter in another person’s life. You have been trying to stop my career abroad and did I-don’t-know-what to stop another person who didn’t even have one single enjoyable moment—because you were trying to sabotage it all. You weren’t allowing her to claim being single, not being with a person who isn’t enjoyable to be around at all, who isn’t that great, who is actually embarrassing and childish, playing the victim all day long, and pushing your responsibilities onto her, then gaslighting her into believing she had to deal with it all alone and that it was all her fault.
If you can’t see yourself correctly, you have no place in my life. If you can’t behave like a person who has learned proper behavior with regard to women and other people, you won’t be allowed to remain in my life. If you’re still lying to my face about who I am, you’re gone from my life forever—with no permission to ever come back.
Cruel and conscienceless people have no place in my life. People who make everything about them and steal all the attention—so no one else ever gets any—have no place in my life. People who only steal and take without ever giving anything in return have no place in my life. People who are selfish to the point of ruining every relationship I have, and then wanting to kill me because they are selfish and think I need to like them, love them, etc.—all without having earned that love—have no place in my life. People who threaten me with taking my life have no place in my life. Get out of my life and never come back.
Other people have needs. They have rights. No woman needs to pretend she is less intelligent than you just because that’s now your latest manipulative tactic—suggesting she is dumb and that you are so highly intelligent that she now needs to devalue herself in front of you, but only in private, where no one can see it, because that makes you feel powerful. Is that masculine behavior? No. Only a weak person acts in such a way—and it is the behavior of a woman, not a man. If you want to be in my life, you also have to be a grown-up and a man. I don’t spend time with people like you—people who switch sides whenever they feel like it, who steal from others without giving anything in return, who are selfish, arrogant, and egotistic to the point of taking much more than they deserve, without asking—respectfully—if they’re even allowed to have it, and then accepting a “no” for an answer. (Because some people ask and then pretend that “no” was a “yes.”)
Gone from my life. The last chance to change yourself was years ago. It’s gone. I don’t allow people like this in my life. There is no exception just because you’re a star. There is no exception for people who think they are of a higher caste (the “incel caste,” the “star caste,” the “men caste”). There are no exceptions. The same rules apply to everyone. The rights I have are the rights I have—and you have no right to steal that from me.
A God complex is a real thing. When a person suffers from a God complex, they usually won’t be suffering much at all—because they’re probably a narcissist! But the people who have to deal with them will suffer, because this person will never see anything wrong with their attitude, their behavior, the derogatory way they treat women, their out-of-control violence, or any other behavior that puts other people’s lives at risk.
Signs a person is suffering from a God complex may include, among others:
Even though they aren’t the authority, they expect to be seen as the authority on everything and expect people to follow them blindly—no matter how deranged or unintelligent they actually are.
A belief in being uniquely capable, without acknowledging that other people are capable too, or that they themselves may not be as competent as they think. They may have actually messed up certain projects but refuse to admit it.
Some act like cult leaders—they display extreme grandiosity and claim special knowledge, destiny, or insight beyond that of normal people.
They may also show extreme resistance to criticism, reacting defensively or even aggressively to even slight feedback—criticism that most others would consider normal.
They play God by interfering in another person’s life in an unhealthy way, intentionally altering that person’s life path. The control the other person once had over their own life is stolen by the one with the God complex. As a result, the affected person may feel completely powerless to stop others from ruining, sabotaging, or redirecting her life path. Basically, they are making decisions that should be left to “God”—if you believe in one—or at the very least, not made by another person. (For context, I grew up religiously but don’t follow any particular denomination.)
Wanting to kill another person and end her life may be another sign that someone is suffering from a God complex. They may believe they have the right to decide whose life should end, who shouldn’t be allowed to live, and who isn’t good enough to remain on this earth. This is extreme narcissistic behavior—but some narcissists are, unfortunately, so malignant that they attempt to take another person’s life.
Have you ever dealt with someone who thought they were god-like?
