It hit hard when they mentioned narcissistic rage. I’ve dealt with my dad yelling on the phone getting angry at me. He’s not fun to be around.

[@theliftexpert]

It’s heartbreaking when the person that is supposed to guide ,love and teach you , degrades,aggravates and belittles you. What you need to learn to do is to calmly stop him ,then tell him that you won’t tolerate being yelled at (setting a boundary) and then proceed to tell him that you would be happy to have an adult conversation together when he is prepared too do so and gently end the call. Your father doesn’t know how to respect or set boundaries for himself, so he couldn’t have taught you this skill either. Boundary setting for yourself and others,is an important part of developing self confidence and self esteem. Best wishes on your journey 🙏🏻

[@videoforlife7086]

I guess there are questions about narcissism that I have. 1. Can being around certain type of people turn you narcissist? Like, instinctively going that route? 2. Is there a way to look out for these habits and to deal it before it gets too far? 3. Does it involve admitting things that you don't want to believe or admit about yourself? (In other words, open up)

[@Labycant-ut4sb]

No no and yes

[@pavlinahrebackova3000]

I believe in first case yes, in relationship or also in relationship with parents. If they are narcissistic the child is often too, because they can not fight it anymore so they just join. And the same for long term relationships or marriage.

[@KissedOrBitten]

For the first question, I would say no. I don’t think you become a narcissist by being around a narcissist BUT you can take on behaviors of a narcissist. This is where it can get tricky. As a child, you can learn to manipulate for communication because you learn from your environment. As we get older, we become more aware of this but still can take on behaviors of others. Those narcissistic behaviors that we may do are hard to recognize and require an outside source to show them. The reason is, you don’t know what you don’t know. Even if you know that you are working on not manipulating others, there are many ways you could be doing it without knowing.

[@calliopeshifts]

for the first one, no because narcissism / NPD is an actual mental disorder that you can’t “catch”, but you may inherit it (genetically) or learn certain behaviors

[@pavlinahrebackova3000]

[@isaiahvoss]

I've experienced emotional abuse in my life at age 15 from my dad because he wouldn't say good night to me and my mom for no reason meaning for isolation from the rest of us. I always questioned why he would do that and I would say to my mom "dad never said good night to us" and feeling sad inside realizing my dad was never the same person I thought he would be. His way of making points were poor due to not wanting to hear my mom's thoughts and they would argue about it but later on after my parents divorce I had to forgive him for all he has done. We're on good terms but I say little as possible.

Isn't that just cowardly and pathetic? Now, my parents aren't pedophiles thank God and they never sexually assault me but they are evil people

[@isaiahvoss]

Similarly, It was more of my dad isolating himself when my parents were together but he wouldn't want to admit his mistakes back then as well as possibly getting help. He never said good night to us but I had to learn to forgive him after my parents divorce.

This video really hit hard for me. I've had a friend that I always felt had total control over me and used many different manipulative tactics to keep me under his wing, almost never being able to speak out of intense fear or being seen as going against him. One of these things was he would use my naive personality to pull me into topics about sex and would test my tolerance levels by telling me about different sexual topics that I've never knew about and wish I never had any knowledge of. (TW for the next sentence in play. If you feel any type of discomfort with sexual topics, you can stop here.) He would tell me about his different sexual likings, some that may have been possible paraphilias that I could've fallen into. In the end, I fell into feeling as if shaming these ideas of sex was a bad thing and would dismiss them, in hopes of not hurting my friends' feelings. I'm taking the steps to recover from these feelings and have cut off from this friend. I also feel I need some advice for how to break away from these feelings and sexual urges. If you have any advice or comments for me, feel free to tell me! Anything would help!

[@skyelarkokaisel1532]

I just reflect because that's how I was taught to socialize. I don't do it to be selfish I just don't know how to socialize right. Is it still bad though that I'm reflective? I don't want to come off like that. I mean stuff genuinely I just need mirroring to help me if that makes sense

Thankfully, thanks to another friend, I was able to get out of that friendship. I always struggle with depicting being a friend from being manipulated and used, and it will take some time for me to figure that difference out. I still have toxic friendships, that I’m working on getting out of. One of them I’ve been friends with for 7 years, going onto 8. I don’t know how to leave them, as they make me happy, but they also put all their problems on me and encourage me to ignore people who are my friends.

[@ArtairMcKinley]

Trigger warning for mention of assault and intimate partner violence Nearly a year ago on August 24th, 2022 I unknowingly entered a relationship with a covert narcissist. That same evening we officialised our relationship, he coerced me into drinking until I was black out drunk before he had sex with me while I was unconscious. I had no recollection of this but began experiencing night terrors and flashbacks through increments of what I could remember. I won’t further go into detail as I’m in the process of taking legal action against him for this and an array of other awful things he did to me, but he’d constantly coerce and guilt trip me into drinking to the point of extreme intoxication before unsafely engaging in sexual acts. In my opinion, covert narcissism is literally one of the most dangerous forms of narcissism…

Talk to them about a problem you're having an either tell you how to "fix it" and if you take the advice and it doesn't work they'll gaslight that they didn't offer that to you or find a reason you didn't do it exactly as they said. If you don't take their advice they'll get offended and argue with you and guilt/shame you. Or something my parents would do a lot, you tell them a problem you're having and they then start talking about their past and how bad it was for them, you would hear this story over and over to the point you could finish their sentence and if you interrupt it's "Let me finish." followed by another hour of their past. Keep interrupting and your rude and trying to dominate the discussion.

Could count in the sexual coercion aspect that a narcissist continuously sends you inappropiate pictures of himself such as half naked selfies? Or continuously cries to you that he's a virgin and needs desperately to get out of his virginity under the excuse that he doesn't "want to be a virgin loser"? My ex boss used those tactics against me while he had a girlfriend. He constantly triangulated me and even accused me of interferring in his relationship when all I was is an employee and friend. My ex girlfriend also used to control me and she made everything about herself, even guilty tripped me all time and made me feel like a monster whenever I wanted to do a hobby or activity on my own, spend my time with someone else or just didn't comply with what she wanted. She kept me chained to msn from very early in the afternoon until 6 am everyday. Even until today, my ex-girlfriend spent almost 10 years cyberbullying me and stalking me in my social media and personal website. Almost 15 years of complete narcissistic abuse cycles between friends, bosses and romantic partners... damn, I just could have spent those years better.

I was a bed wetter until 12 & my so called mate turned on me and went around telling everyone at school, to be part of the douchebag club. I think I actually just worked it out, my mother freezes fear into me by saying a robber will break into our house, blah blah blah, in order to gain control. I froze in bed because I was afraid to get in trouble for being out of bed to go to the toilet as no one would ever listen to me anyway, (probably why I'm so quiet everyone says) there was potentially a robber, I even saw an alien, ghosts as well which really my imagination, from the unsettling silence which disturbed the hell out of me. Now I sleep awesomeish.

I even pooped myself as a kid because I just knew no one would listen that I needed to go to the toilet as I was a "naughty kid"

Turns out I'm a narcissist

[@C4RYB34R]

my friend constantly overrides me in conversation. im never right. This "friend" told me last night he feels entitled to sex with me. "I don't *want* the friendship part* now I know this another narcissist so I know not to get too close. He has been violent in the past and I am a little afraid.

[@RyanNerdyGamer]

True or false? _”The child of two narcissistic parents must also be a narcissist, whether by heredity, upbringing, or other intrinsic factors.”_ What’s your perspective? 🤔 Personally, I reason this to be false; as humans, we each have freedom of will, and with that comes the potential for mindfulness and, ultimately, choice in the kind of person we aspire to be. Just as someone raised by one or more narcissistic guardians repeat the pattern, so too may they recognise the potential harm in passing on such traits to their descendants, using their experiences to buck the trend, break the mould, and build an image of integrity, fairness, and compassion for all.

[@RyanNerdyGamer]

@@mykolas8575 Seeing these traits in my parents and how their lives have turned out as a result, I see it as an opportunity to utilise that “expertise” in a way that ensures I _don’t_ succumb, and instead use it as a codex on traits to avoid both in myself and others, instead choosing to be mindful, respectful, and compassionate. Of course, I kinda fell into the opposite extreme for too long, in part to avoid becoming a narcissist myself… that creates its own mess of toxicity, including a broken, highly critical self-image that’s still on the mend even now, so it’s certainly a fine line between. I know it’s absolutely possible to have a supportive, well-balanced social life, and it’s that kind of community spirit free from extreme narcissism that I support and encourage every step of the way.

Imagine following: Atatchment Styles. One suffers from bpd, ocd the other from ptsd, ocd. No one is aware of themselves. How might they trigger each Others Childhood Wounds? Is IT in purpose, or Just Lack of Awareness and Training? Break the cycle, form New lives.

[@SeelenTaucher]

@@RyanNerdyGamer Yea, so, avoiding. I avoided people in General, coz aß coping Skill, I did the exact opposite of what my Mom did. Also Not healthy. I wished for Connection, but was Programmed to BE distant (Attachment Style/wound). But even that, WE can unlearn and If WE are aware of self, WE can do Training. With deep Relationships, IT can get very hard, coz U feel intensly...I was triggered by those I Love the Most...so Not easy to heal

[@RyanNerdyGamer]

@@SeelenTaucher Absolutely. Of course, just because a task isn’t easy doesn’t mean it isn’t worth fulfilling, though it’s crucial to respect that each person face such trials at their own pace, and everyone’s experiences and coping mechanisms are unique. At the end of the day, what matters is those who choose to face their past traumas and ultimately recover from them, whether in whole or in part, do so in the way that feels right, and that they need not face the challenge or shoulder the burden alone if they would benefit from mutual support. Humans are, after all, social creatures by their very nature. When working in unison, there’s no limit to what can be accomplished, and that is always a beautiful dynamic when it comes to the idea of “better than ever before”. 💞

False. Children with both narcissistic parents are weaklings who have low self-esteem. Strong parents tend to produce weak children. The child would more likely suffer from emotional abuse and develop other kinds of disorders. Being manipulated since birth makes a person easy to be manipulated.

Can they cause so much stress , as to cause a heart attack?

[@echillykahlil]

At the risk of self victimization and self demonization, 1. It makes you feel really small and unseen, kinda like you're an extension of someone else, and it makes it difficult to break the cycle. 2. Unfortunately I have a weak sense of self, I know the mirroring is pretty maladaptive, boundaries are hard and adopting someone else's thoughts and behaviors unwillingly is distressing and disempowering. 3. The only thing I'll say, is there's something frightfully satisfying when she relaxes after resistance, but I assume this is more about using sex, or the lack of it, to control and influence another person, or to assault them into a submissive position. I've withheld sex before as a means of control, the fear of it happening to me and some lack of control in childhood probably, but something tells me I needed to have some sort of leverage in my favor, some authority of some kind. I don't know. 4. Vindictiveness, narcissistic rage... I was taught when I was little to be silent, rather than angry. And I'm always angry, especially when I was a child. Violent outbursts that were only appropriate within the home, eventually became silent turmoil that just built until I took it out on someone. I would like to blame my environment and the broken people around me, abuse or neglect or something, but in the end I'm still really uncomfortable with conflict and if I let it I'll ruminate (Hey, I wonder if that word is based on Rumi the mystic? Anyway) and let it build until I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack. And the people I surround myself with habitually, are more likely to be silent and so I don't easily make scenarios where I feel safe and comfortable breaking that habit of silence and avoidance. Having no expectations helps, because there's nothing that can go wrong if I don't expect anything, so there's fewer triggering events. I'm not usually vengeful, but I chalk that up to not being smart enough or conniving enough to implement, because I know there's a lot of me that wants to hurt the other person, and when I can, it takes a lot of mental strength and willpower to remain silent, if I do. I've made a mess recently because I have gone back to writing it out when I stop myself from saying it. 5. This is one I'm not really guilty of, and find myself hating. I stand alone a lot, and I've come to hate people that blindly takes sides without thinking it through, because I've been right, and been ganged up on. Because it's unsafe to express my thoughts and opinions because of third parties, and I end up doubting myself or knowing that nothing I do will get through. Maybe they developed this as a defense against me in the first place, maybe I'm the victim, I dunno. They're old patterns I can't unseat and don't wish to engage in. I'm not sure why I felt the need to share this, but I guess I needed to share it, even if it was just so I'd see it.

Hello!

[@Emily-cw7tj]

Hi

[@JoshuaLeggans]

I avoid these signs and if I feel that somebody is a threat towards especially my best friend who is a woman I'll tell you what's up I might not hit but I'll tell you don't come back and of I see you here manipulating, stealing and treating my best friend like crap you're going to make my inner beast loose and you're going to wish you hadn't seen me enraged. I am protective of those who I love but one of the narcissist so called friends I had to stop talking to.
