I can relate to this topic. My husband, soon to be ex, is one and has been for years. I've been abused for years from his childhood experience, and he is abusive like his mother was to him. I had too much empathy he was not like this when i married him but changed over time. I got wisdom listening to narcissist channels at what sort of person he is. I feel heartbroken i married a fake person, but he is not hurt because i never hurt him, he tells me . I have suffered so much abuse that it has changed me now that i have lost myself.😢

I recommend checking out Sam Vaknins channel, he has many good videos on NPD, being a narcissist himself and a psychology professor , he's good at explaining what's going on in the narcissists mind, when they're doing all the horrible things they do

Narcissistic people are incredibly exhausting. After having one as a parent, two siblings and two failed marriages, I realised my empathy and wanting to smooth things over was the end of me. At 50 I'm experiencing adrenal fatigue that is crushing. I've realised I cant save people, its not my job, I've learnt my lessons of self worth finally. Pity I didnt get there earlier but better late than never. Thanks for being the voice of clarity and sanity on this topic.

I have experienced this on rare occasions. We have a neighbour like that. When she first moved in, she seemed ok. It was during the covid lockdowns that the narcissism that was already there we suspect came out at full force. Standing in middle of our row, collaring some1 passing by and talking about themselves. Sadly they felt a need to boast and brag with huge one upmanship. She was in her late 60s at the time. Eventually, we saw thru it. Not to believe everything they said. A lonely person but a pure narcissist. That drove people away.

❤❤❤ Thank you so much Darren l believe you are a soothsayer! Your insightful messages filled with clarity and coming form a deep sense of knowing, are so easily detestable. Honestly I'm sure that l am speaking for others when l say that l could easily listen to your lyrically lulling wise words all day long ! You have a very peaceful yet playful presence and presentation style that is unique to you. Very calming yet humorously engaging! What a combo!

Mom has most of these traits plus a bunch of vulnerable covert traits. In every situation she finds a way to be the victim to the point that it would be comical if it wasn't so sad and exhausting. Dad's sister died and mom went on and on about her not knowing how the ceremony will go in the church, because dad has always gone alone to the funerals. First of all this is not even true, since they have mostly gone together, and in the rare cases dad gone alone, is has always been mom who has had excuses not to go even if dad has wanted her to go. She herself seems to be totally convinced about this bs 🤔. I would really like to know on what level she is aware if at all.

covert is way more common than the grandiose kind. the DSM is terrible at describing this disorder

Actually it's around every 6th person. So it's very common. More than one billion ppl with NPD in the world.

@Darren F Magee So can the different kinds of NPD be characterised by how strongly each of the 9 elements are expressed? For example, a griandiose narcissist expressing haughtiness relatively strongly
@HomeFromFarAway3 ай бұрын
the criteria that are currently left in the DSM are only partial descriptions. Covert is also way more common than grandiose. It's worth learning more from the HealNPD channel

Why do you not explore the etiology of narcissism? The persistence of infantile narcissistic traits is complex and largely caused by a developmental deficit within the environment the infant/child experienced. The lack of trust in the 'other' derives from a lack of containment and reassurance that would usually be provided by the primary carer, normally the mother. The effect of this is that a deep distrust grows within the child of their internal world, with the effect that emotion/feeling from within themselves are seen as frightening and therefore must be controlled. The personal sense of self is derived from this same internal world that is also distrusted, so the development of a substantive sense of self and the boundaries that accompany this are absent. So with a weak sense of self and poor idea of personal boundaries there is a great need for control of both of the internal and external spheres. The effect of this is to further embed the condition and reinforce the distrust and lack of engagement with other people who become just another source of anxiety that must be controlled. While the condition is unfortunate I find the endless popular demonisation of the condition to be curious.
