@@lisacranmer8005 I've heard about some people so controlled by their family that there's no escape. The only way to escape is to become mentally strong, and that's near impossible when any sign of strength is quickly squashed. Your oppressors are respected by others, everyone assumes that you are the problem. If you try to reach out for help, they'll tell your oppressors, and your oppressors will make you regret you ever tried. There's no escape.

[@AutisticAthena]

​@@BasedRangerI don't think it's impossible for a narcissist to change... But it HAS to be internally driven. Don't negate her experience just because she got better. It takes a lot for a person with THAT LEVEL of toxicity to admit that they did it all themselves and address it. Who are you to come in and say "it couldn't have been real, then". How do you know? Did you live with her and it "wasn't that bad?"... Or do you personally know a narcissist and need to convince yourself that they're incapable of changing in order to make yourself feel better about the fact that they wouldn't change FOR YOU?

[@Ed-lian]

I can't understand how a narcissist can go through a healing process. Because usually they are cinvinced that they are better than other humans. And have that deep feeling inside of being wothless. Which is why they created this person in the first place. I can't imagine that you can look this situation in the eye and recognize it. How was that possible? And did you take this step?

[@AutisticAthena]

@@Ed-lian personally, I feel like anyone who has "narcissistic tendencies" falls within the "spectrum" of it being a personality "disorder". And with ANY learned behaviors, a NEW way CAN be learned... But it ALL has to be internally driven by the person attempting to change. They first have to recognize and accept the reality of who and what they are, and then they have to in turn, systemically address the personal behavioral patterns that make up the disordered or "toxic" expression of their ego. I have fragile narcissistic tendencies myself (not a full blown narc, but it's there enough for me to cringe at myself hard when I catch it), and it's galling to admit how HARD it is to be honest with myself when I'm playing the martyr.

[@jd6331]

This hit me hard. I was in a long-term relationship with someone (the majority of 12.5 years, age 19 to 32) who turned out to be what I'd say is narcissistic. Towards the end of our relationship, I felt like I was not myself - like I'd taken on some of his traits and his misery, and it took a while to get back to myself. He made me feel like a horrible, selfish person, like maybe I was the problem, I was to blame. These days I feel much better and more free, more open-minded and happy. ...Unfortunately, my mom may be narcissistic too, and also makes me feel like a selfish, bad person at times, even after I know all I've done for her and my family as a whole, sometimes having to step in and act as the parent when my parents weren't. I'm much better at protecting myself now though, and I've learned to distance myself when I need to in order to maintain my mental health. I'm also in therapy, which helps me a lot and is something I look forward to going to every couple weeks. I tell my therapist everything and welcome her feedback and suggestions. I hope to improve more overtime and get to a healthier state of mind, especially before I start a family of my own. I worry I'll revert to behaving like my mother, but I just want a healthy, strong relationship with my children, if I have any. My current boyfriend loves and supports me and wants what's best for me, but I don't think he fully understands what I've been through and that I've pretty much hit my limits. He tells me all the time that I should spend more time with my mom - I wish I could, because I do love her, but I can only take her in small doses at this point. I don't think she'll ever change and perhaps she's becoming more narcissistic with age, because now she loves to tell me how much more life experience she has and that she basically knows more about everything and knows what's best. It's becoming more and more her way or no way, and she hates when I defend myself or go against her train of thought. For me it becomes very draining. Maybe if I sit down with her and tell her exactly how I've been feeling it'll make a difference - but I'm afraid it would just set us back to where we were a couple years ago when I went no contact with her, for about 6 mouths, and my brother who lives with her and was enabling/defending her. He sometimes feeds off of her and takes on some of her behavior; it's a cycle. Ughh... anyways. Enough venting... Thank you for your comment. Gaslighting is a big problem and a terrible form of abuse that can really make someone feel crazy. I'm glad I learned about it a few years ago while going through my breakup and am better at identifying and calling it out now. Be well~

I always think about the hierarchy as well, which thinks you’re more important than everyone else. It’s not a two way street relationship, which is why my ex gf broke up with me cause she saw the real side of me, which she deserves someone who values her worth and is a better person. Than the last thing is self-worth, we don’t love ourselves but we have the need to use others for our inherit worth. We are the best actors in the world half the time. Currently receiving therapy and all the people in my life cut me off almost so it’s kind of a blessing cause now I’m ready to make changes.

[@jenborrelli6371]

Question: Do individuals suffering from NPD genuinely believe they are superior to others or is it simply a facade to mask their underlying insecurities? I ask this because I've noticed that people with NPD often have a fragile sense of self-esteem and spend a considerable amount of time worrying about how others perceive them. The constant need for admiration is a well-known trait of NPD, whether it is obvious from each individual case or not. However, doesn't this need for external validation suggest that they cannot find it within themselves? It is puzzling to me that the belief in one's superiority contradicts the presence of deep-seated insecurities. Could it be that individuals with NPD lack the ability to engage in the necessary self-reflection to distinguish between their sense of superiority and their underlying insecurities? I know as humans, we all have egos that function as a form of self-protection. Thus, I previously assumed that individuals with NPD develop a massive and unchecked ego as a means of self-protection. I am particularly curious to hear your thoughts on this matter.

[@Thenamelessnarcissist]

It’s really complicated. We believe it but we need constant reassurance that it’s true, and we can easily fall into periods of self hate if we don’t get the self esteem juice we crave. But you’re on the money, once resent neurological study actually suggests people like me have less connectivity between areas of the brain related to self and areas related to pleasure.

[@jacobmartincontreras]

I think that narcissism is a defense mechanism. They adopt this mindset to cope with pain. I think they're avoiding certain emotions so deeply that they have to believe that theyre better than most people.

[@marshmallowbiscuit4553]

@@jacobmartincontreras As someone with NPD, yes, this a pretty basic way of putting it. In fact, most studies find that people with NPD or narcissistic tendencies have faced neglect, physical/emotional abuse, and no form of unconditional love (like from a mother or someone like that, say) I received my unconditional love from 2 people in my life, and even then, with their own disorders, it felt flimsy at times when they would chase me off and scream at me for existing as a mere child. Or the whole rest of my family who wanted nothing to do with me, no matter how hard I tried to please them as a kid (my own father being one of them) Again, these aren't excuses, but it does give potential explanation to the disorder and it's origins. It's also thought to be at least somehow partially genetic. Some of us feel emotions, and real genuine ones too. We feel remorse, sadness, love, happiness, anger, ect. But one of our biggest emotions is literally fear and is what sends out all our flares of 'being better' and such. God forbid someone see us as a normal person with flaws, and someone noticing those flaws brings fear. But with the other emotions, what I've found in myself personally, and I've met other diagnosed narcissists who feel the same, is we feel the need to PUSH the emotions to a further outward level, because we don't want to be seen as emotionless. You know that throbbing feeling that you get in your chest when something really heartbreaking happens? (aka heartbreak lol) I get that, and it's a true feeling. But if I'm literally at a funeral and not crying with everyone else, I feel 'not good enough' and such, so I've trained myself to force tears to my eyes. It only works if I'm sad, but it's still a form of facade, even if I am truly upset. The fact I had to fake what should be a normal human function to emotion makes me feel less equal to anyone else, when my disorder literally makes me feel the need to be superior. I hope that made sense! Sorry if it doesn't, it's really hard to explain, as namelessnarcissist said above.

Why do narcissists love empathy abundant people? Why not their own ?

[@heide-raquelfuss5580]

Empathic people care for the wellbeing and fuel the narcissist. Narcissist love what others do for them, because they think they deserve it. Entitled. If you do not do things for them they get offended, bevause they think they are entitled to your giving nature. Narcissist will seldom choose people like them because they do not care about their wellbeing, growth and do not give to a narcissist the care they feel entitled to.

[@kayjay7585]

Because empaths can sense the narcissist's emotions and because they want everyone around them (i.e. the narcissist) to feel good

[@kayjay7585]

​@@heide-raquelfuss5580 about narcissists not choosing people like them: Really depends on the flavor of narcissist. Because "being a good partner" is a virtue, some narcissists can use their narcissism to be a great partner. Also, plenty narcissists will choose another narcissist, because they allign so well in terms of fundamental beliefs, like "status is everything".

I allways see the family getting toxic/ugly in numerous ways and progressive nasty and all familymembers suffer, including dogs, cats, any animal in the household. I also see narcissists with non narcissists and it ends horrible too. I think...primates like we all are, are not good friends mostly. The few 'good' ones end up horrible traumatized by just living in this world between us primates. Only dogs and cats, other animals seem to be able to be also capable to be or become the greatest compagnons. I see that in their eyes and the soul they have and how they behave socially. They understand something humans do mostly not. Dogs are compassionate.

[@sovereignsister]

They have no empathy. The empathetic part of the brain in narcissists is extremely small and their amygdala (fight or flight) is huge which is opposite of most humans. But the really interesting thing is that if you stay with a narc long enough the same thing happens to your brain - you become like them. Which goes to show the realities of God's word: Bad company corrupts good morals. They will never change because they are unable to self reflect and grow. They are broken vessels filled with unclean spirits who direct their actions (unbeknownst to themselves) to steal, kill, and destroy God's people who have the light of the spirit. Once you truly see the emptiness inside them and what they truly are - a vapid pit of nothingness- they will run away because they hate exposure. They've been playing their poisonous game all their life causing wreckage everywhere they go but it's never their fault. They can go on thinking they are better than everyone but the truth is they will burn like everyone else who serves the devil's agenda.

My emotions are genuine. My best friends grandmother lived with him in her final days while we were in high school. I knew her for about a year but she barely knew me due to dementia. When she did recognize me she was excited I was there & it always made me happy to interact with her and talk with her. I always helped get from bed to her chair & back via lifting her for a year. When she passed, even though I didn’t truly know her due to dementia I was devastated. I was crying harder than most at her funeral. She will always be remembered through my memories of her.

Welp, I checked the first box, because I usually don't feel anything, but not so much the other two. The one about hierarchical thinking is true when it comes to _types_ of people, and I'm also highly conscious of pecking orders, but I don't have a baseline belief that allows for enough increments to accommodate 7.8bil different slots on a hierarchy. The grandiosity thing doesn't have internal dialogue, but sometimes I do feel like I _should_ be the most inherently competent in a group, and I am attuned to information that improves or hurts my optics or that of my competition, but I am in no way bound by an existential need to be intrinsically better than others.

because I am autistic I do not see things in hierarchy. but I can get quite hung up on this everyone is equal thing. sort of the same way that a non-autistic narcissist gets hung up on hierarchy. it's that black-and-white thinking I guess but I built so much of my ego around the idea of equality and I would fight for it in such a black-and-white way that I literally believed people who believed in hierarchy were playing Make-Believe and I couldn't accept that this was a real construct that really impacted my life therefore it is real. the reason I now recognize this as narcissistic is because I used it to judge other people. people who participated in hierarchy were caught in The Matrix and therefore were less than me. but I never ever phrased it that way to myself or to other people because that violated my values. but I did use it to write people off as not worthy of talking to. it was the platform on which I felt Superior even though I lied to myself about that feeling. it was sort of a victim stance. people do not like me because they are not evolved enough to understand me

[@AJ-qi7gr]

Well, it is in itself a very narcissistic way of thinking, but there are many things that cause narcissistic traits without actually making someone an actual narcissist (that is to say, someone with genuine npd). Many, many people (if not most) have some sort of narcissistic traits or ways of thinking, but that doesn't truly make them narcissists...if you get my meaning. Autistic individuals like yourself do tend to think in more black and white terms because...well...your brains are simply wired to do so 🤷‍♀️. You tend to be literal thinkers, and often take things at face value. I'm not saying this is inherently good or bad, it's just simply a fact. It can cause issues if that thinking gets a bit more extreme, yes (like what you gave as your own example), but it definitely doesn't make you anything close to a true narcissist. I've known people with npd, and what this man in the vid is giving is such a small snapshot that honestly one could even confuse it with antisocial personality disorder because he could also be describing a sociopath 🤷‍♀️ (fun fact, all sociopaths are narcissists, but not all narcissists are sociopaths lol). There's so much more to npd, and I'm sure he knows that, but in just this small vid it's so hard to convey. Narcissistic thinking is so much more twisted and deeper than what this goes into...give me the black and white of a high functioning individual with autism's way of thinking anyday lol 😜❤.

@Stephen The reason narcissistic personality disorder is referred to as the cancer of psychology is because almost all narcissists lack insight completely. This guy, if he is, indeed a narcissist, is displaying a remarkable degree of insight given his condition. I think that is praiseworthy. While it’s true, narcissists can cause tremendous pain to others, narcissistic personality disorder is a defense against intense feelings of worthlessness or powerlessness experienced at a very young age. Someone failed them badly at some point, generally speaking.

[@MRBallSlapper-gy1lr]

NPD is a disorder defined by self hate and extreme low self worth. People with NPD have learned to cope through grandiose fantasies that they are better than others but this feeling they have is made out of desperation, as often times without this facade they become extremely suicidal, hopeless, or feeling like there is no reason to live. It is a cope made out of a desire to survive. As a NPD I WISH I loved myself. I hate myself more than anybody. Please try to be aware that NPD is a mental disorder like any other, they are not demons, they are people who are struggling.

Diagnosed Borderline Personality Disorder here🙋‍♀️(In therapy for a year, twice a week with a BPD specific specialist). Do you think that Narcissistic Personality Disorder is actually adaptive and an evolutionary advantage in society? I know a lot of really genuinely highly intelligent successful people with NPD who seem really good at "letting things go" like it's "so cool". It seems to be an asset in the workplace, in social settings, and at home. The ability to dominate others and the interest and ability to seek and obtain power and admiration from the masses seems highly adaptive and valued in this world in a dystopian sort of way. I'm no longer convinced it isn't the better way to live, even if they "hate themselves inside". Well I hate myself plenty too as a BPD, but dang I don't have a hell of a lot going for me like a narcissist does! Maybe I'm just jealous of narcissists because I'm more openly dysregulated?🤷‍♀️

[@StreetcarDesire]

THIS! I would be interested in hearing his input and even watching a video on this topic. Narcissistic traits are definitely celebrated in social and work environments. I see it as an advantage from the outside looking in. I’m also on the BPD end of the Cluster B spectrum and my symptoms haven’t led me to much success. Whereas, my childhood friend (suspected NPD) has accomplished so much, dated a bunch of women, and has gotten a government job that pays him six figures all before the age of 30. I have sabotaged pretty much all chances at a social life and career.

Her eyes were crazy and black and I was quite afraid of her. Imagine my shock watching this transformation and yelling at my parents to do something but they beat me for getting angry at them. Then she was suddenly fine but oh so different. I was spared from the same fate because I saw it all and I hated my parents. That was my armor. I sure went through a ton of abuse. They tried to break my spirit time and time again. She has no memory of what happened. It was regarding severe animal abuse and the animals died.
