@cottonwhiskersuk ur either narssistic supply or useless

@cottonwhiskersuk thats normal narcissism, pathological narcissism is diferent, lack of empathy, deep hatred of your true self, the narcissist creates a false-self which all his life is based upon and u cannot negate a narcissist false-self without paying the price which is generally devaluation

You are so lucky! 30 years after being married to one, I finally found the true definition. I then realized I was worth less to him than the bathroom tissue so I left….. YIPPIE!!!

I thought that a narcissist was just someone who was obsessed with their own physical beauty, derived from Narcissus, the youth in Greek mythology who fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water. What is the correct definition?

THANKS FOR THE ADVICE FAGBOY….

@bijouloves -

I had the same experience. I had to stop taking calls from the narcissist. I had to not pay my phone bill one month.

I had a difficult time breaking the tie because narcissists are so manipulative. I’d end up feeling sorry for him. Now I smile when I think of it & wonder who he’s latched onto as a replacement. One thing I noticed is that he always had loads of friends, but they were never his friend for very long.

Natalie Portman becomes extremely angry if you tell her she’s cute. Its kinda funny at first, when you realize, she sees herself as statuesque and charismatic, even though she is not statuesque and charismatic, she’s cute, and because being told she is cute contradicts that image she has of herself, if you tell her she’s cute she will fly into a rage.

I think Natalie Portman has NPD.

narcissists use people like tissue paper. Had a “friendship” with one, who wanted to be her personal fan club/mother and i broke it off with her for my own survivial. I have told myself i will have nothing to do with these types again, and try to avoid them like the plague.

@ares12790

I would love to talk to you more about it…..im trying to understand my son who I believe has npd

Im a covert Narcissist and i want someone to talk to, that wont see me ever, but whom i want to tell eveything about my narcissistic ways and traits to.

Be heard by those who can make things happen at all cost.Don’t give up.

@hush2088 What does this clinicians sexuality have to do with the information he has shared w/ those who want to be educated on how to deal with npd?

STFU go back to your gay life and stay there wit yawl head in the sand, yoo talk pish, oh and btw from one psychologist to another… I ‘KNOW’ you are a fake, so fuck off!

sairaj1 its called the recession for a reason buddy

oh and one more thing if your dealing with a narcissistic it could be that, that you just do not care enough for yourself. being emotional independent-meaning knowing how to take care of yourself emotionally will keep you away from such people. Because you will always find a way out.

And if you work for one and you live in the United States, do not tell me that you cannot get another job because we are not a poor nation.

I agree with this Doc. having been psych student myself and dealing with a narcissist in the past, I know that they will NEVER want you as an equal. I had tried so much that I almost ruined my life. I even became physically sick. These people do feel guilty “rarely”.It is also a personality disorder they have. My advice to you is that please let him/her go and do not try to change them. Cry all night if you want but don’t ruin your whole life.

who is this guy.

lol. radioactive balls. i rest my case.

And another thing, 16omega:
Saying that others are “not human”, because of some trait of which you disapprove, is intensely narcissistic. My guess is that you are a major Narcissist, yourself. But don’t go bash yourself. Get yourself to a clinic NOW.

By megaswenson on February 22nd, 2010 at 1:20 am

16omega, if you truly habitually physically attack others because of what you perceive their personality traits to be, then you are what is known as CRIMINALLY INSANE. You need to stop ‘bashing’, and probably need immediate Psychiatric intervention.

FYI, there are good narcissists and bad narcissists. Some have a hero complex which makes them overly generous/self-sacrificing: not a bad thing. Many are big volunteers. They have their place in the world.

haha, fair play, give em one from me!!!
