Narcissism….
I saw a quote recently. It reads,
“Relationship with a Narcissist….
You will go from being the perfect love of their life to nothing you do is ever good enough.
You will give your everything and they will take it all and give you less and less in return. You will end up depleted emotionally, mentally, spiritually and possibly financially, and then get blamed for it.
You will find them in professional circles too”.
I can leave this article at that, but I have something to say….
Narcissism is a sign of regression of being. I see it as a disorder which incapacitates the affected person from being able to see anything beyond himself. He is impelled to credit himself and totally discount anything that is even vaguely outside his immediate sphere of influence.
The narcissist is never wrong… he understands things even before you have said them… if he does not understand it, you do not know what you are talking about… and if something has not worked, it is your fault….
Add an extremely dominant attitude to this and you have a perfect recipe for a highly volatile environment… whether at home or at work!
No wonder, such places are often swarmed with sycophants and back-stabbers…..
No matter where that narcissist lives…. whether in your being having taken you over or is out there bothering your existence, run past the ‘king’ as fast as you can, for this is a disease that has no cure until when the narcissist himself decides to outgrow it!
