Beware of Narcissists
Narcissistic personality disorder is one of a few sorts of identity issue — is a psychological condition in which individuals have their very own expanded feeling significance, a profound requirement for extreme consideration and adoration, agitated connections, and an absence of compassion for other people.
Narcissistic identity issue is discovered all the more generally in men. The reason is obscure however likely includes a blend of hereditary and ecological elements. Side effects incorporate an intemperate requirement for esteem, negligence for others’ emotions, a powerlessness to deal with any feedback and a feeling of qualification.
The indications of narcissistic identity issue include: vainglorious feeling of significance, distraction with boundless achievement, conviction that one is extraordinary and novel, exploitative of others, absence of sympathy and extreme arrogance. These people are also known as soul-less as they cannot feel any pain of anyone and are extreme ruthless. They have an unrealistic sense of superiority. Their mind is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.
Narcissists are ace controllers and will endeavor to make you feel both regretful and debilitated. They are extremely selfish and believe that they deserve certain privileges because they are unique. But ultimately the narcissists need self-esteem. They need trust in themselves and experience torment as a result of it. The external shell of narcissism is only their method for adapting to it.
Though treatment can help but there is no cure to it.
I’ve heard that it’s similar to those with BPD only that disorder tends to disproportionately affect women. And both do better with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy I’m told. But yes, no cure.
That’s super interesting!… Those two disorders seem like two sides of the same coin… Absolute opposites in how they affect a person’s view of themselves…
I wonder what makes them more or less commonly found in either sex.
I feel for anyone dealing with BPD or NPD. I can only imagine what either of them is like to live with. I hope one day a cure will be discovered!
Great advice. Always best to protect yourself and be aware of toxic people.
I have read a lot about narcissism and the signs we should look out for. I now avoid anyone that has any of these signs.
I think people like to joke or throw around the term Narcissist (especially nowadays), but a true narcissist really is quite harmful.
Being a Mental Health professional I do agree with you.
Good signs to watch out for. I definitely don’t want to be involved with these types of people.
Never associate yourself with a narcissist! Once a person is a narcissist, he will remain the same! Great article. 🙂
Just always be sensitive and maintain respect to everybody. With that, you won’t have any problem with anyone. But thanks for the tip with this kind of information.
Hehe….reading this, I must say it is very timely indeed. With what is happening in our world today, we surely need this word out there.
There are so many toxic people in this world. I feel you have to educate yourself about what makes others toxic. You need to know when someone is hurting you no matter in what form.
I know some women who are narcissistic. I’ve learned to distance myself from these types of people, even in my own family. The relationship with them just became too toxic.
ALWAYS be on the lookout for this type of individual. They are insidious in their ability to not allow you to see who they really are until it’s too late. Very toxic.
Ugh yes, I wouldn’t have the patience for someone like this. I’d give them a chance to change and if they didn’t, I’d be gone.
It is always good to have knowledge on personality/character types. It makes it much easier to work with and help each other. Thank you for sharing!
My ex-husband, among other things, is a narcissist. Thank goodness I finally realized that and got away from him.
I’ve met them. I’ve dealt with them. I do not associate myself with them. I have a screening process when it comes to people I hang out with, and people who are shmucks, yeah, not going to “get through” my screening process.
I’m very careful as to whom I have any type of relationship with. There are too many people that are too self-absorbed and I have no patience for it.
Thanks for sharing this but am always careful around people I meet and watch them closely before making friends with them.
That’s interesting, not sure whether I agree men are more narcissists than women tho 🙂
I honestly don’t know if it sounds more scary to me to be in a relationship with someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, or to HAVE it myself…
Untreated, it can really wreck lives of both parties.
Oh yes, this is very well put in describing narcissism. I know there are some red flags that you can look out for but narcissists are also known as expert manipulators. So sometimes it can be hard. Thanks for sharing.
I have met a few in my past and let’s just say they are the ones I will never forget.
I don’t know anyone with this. I guess that is a good thing for sure.
I have a close relative who fits this profile. I have had to be mindful in keeping her at a safe distance.
These people can really suck the life and positivity out of a person. These are all great markers to identify a narcissist.
Yes 100% with this post. I have known a few and it’s very hard on you to have to deal with people like that – and it stinks when you feel like you can’t help either! This post is great – thank you!
Great post. I’ve unfortunately dated a few, but hopefully those that read your post won’t have to learn the hard way.
I totally agree with you! We need to be aware of them!
It’s tough being a Narcissist or being with a Narcissist. I wrote an article on this topic, but based on a sci-fy short story and my own thoughts. Tha’ts a very important issue! 🙂
Yes! you couldnt be more right. thanks for sharing
I may have encountered someone with this disorder but I failed to recognize it. The interaction was brief and so I took the easy way out and left. I really think people with this disorder must be brought in for treatment by their family members.
I have known a few narcissist people in my life. This is exactly why I moved away from where I use to live. Unfortunately they’re toxic and won’t change.
You have described someone in my life to a tee. I have cut them out of our lives because of it.
I strongly agree with you
I see displays of narcissism every day, especially on Twitter. It’s almost always from men. A former friend also displayed some narcissistic tendencies.
Thanks for sharing this tips about narcissists, it will be helpful in one or another way.
I can truly say I don’t know or have encountered a person truly like this. I have heard of people acting this way and have seen them on TV. And then I did realize in our country our President might have these embarrassing traits🤦🏽♀️
This is a good advice. Sometimes these people are become toxic in our lives and we don’t want that.
Hope scientists comes up with medicines which can cure this completely.
great information for sure, always guard your heart!
Never heard about this. Thanks for enlightening me.
Really cool read – it’s definitely worth being able to identify people like this so you can keep the toxicity out of your life.
I love this because we need to be informed!
Those are crazy qualities to be aware of in people, not just men, but mostly them. Once I peep that, I run for the hills.
I never encountered a Narcissistic identity issue. Maybe could you give some examples of how a person who acts with this? ‘(I know you list the characteristic but how would a person act, say, and perceive things?)
I think we have all had our run-ins with this type of personality whether we realize it or not. Very important message. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing this, is good to know these signs and what to look out for. Sometimes people can present themselves in different ways and if you are not aware of the different personality disorders, is easy to get caught up in someone else’s world.
Yes yes yes! This is so important. I dated and been friends with narcissists and it can be so damaging to your mental health.
It is so important to recognise the signs of a narcissist and try to avoid engaging with them if possible. I’ve seen people who have narcissistic family members and it is horrible.
This sounds bad but I know quite a few of these in my life. Unfortunately, some are family and you just have to be aware.
This is such a great blog. One of the best ways to spread awareness to all individual. Thank you for sharing.
I was married to one and I am so happy to be free of that toxic and terrible relationship. The bad thing is that I now have to coparent with him.
I couldn’t agree more. It’s always best to avoid yourself from toxic people.
Oh boy, gotta love a good narcissist… We have several in the family and they are so hard to handle 🙁
I happy to find this post. I recently had a conversation with my friend about narcissists and how we avoid people with those qualities. This is good information.
This is such a very interesting topic to read, we must be well aware and prepare when someone is in this kind of condition. You’ve cited quite some really good points, for that thank you.
What a great list. We try to avoid narcissists and focus on finding and hanging out with quality people.
I think we should no avoide them instead try to understand and help them since it is a disorder that they can’t control it.
I’m all about protecting my engergu! Thanks for sharing these tips. You can never be to safe!
I have been around people who fall into this disorder and I always tried to be empathetic but it is very hard.
I have encountered so many many narcissists each day of my life and I am trying to avoid them just to make myself a toxic free life.
Thankfully I have not dealt with such a personality in my circle. I do not need that kind of negativity and drama in my life.
My old best friend is a narcissist so I definitely know the signs. Thanks for the reminder, though, I really needed that.
Its always better to stay away from narcissists to have a happy life. Thanks for spreading the positivity.
If only I knew this went I was younger! There are many people I would have avoided coming in contact with. Thanks for sharing!
I had a friend who was like that. Everyone with were ever with became toxic.
I have seen lot of narcisists people in my life, I keep avoiding their contact as their presence always makes pain.
This is some great advice. Don’t let them drag you down.
It is so scary being with a person who is a narcissist. The sad thing is, it’s too late before we realize it.
So by what I’m reading I get they don’t chose to be that way it just happens.. I feel bad for them, they might never be truely loved or those who will must be suffering a lot. God help us all.
I agree. We should always protect ourselves from narcissists and be safe.
Great advice. It’s always helpful to know how to handle toxic people in your life. Thanks for sharing.
