Having one or two traits of narcissism is not unusual, but when narcissistic traits are so predominant that they impair a person’s social functioning, it may qualify them for a diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).
However, you can successfully leave the narcissist and regain your sanity, self-esteem, and joy by engaging in the following steps:
Can a Narcissistic get that jealous of a family pet an potentially hurt it? If the stories are odd about his ex (kids mother) alarm bells are ringing about his ex issues is it worth talking to her to get closure or ignoring it?
Living with a narcissist can be distressing and depressing, their behavior appealing and appalling. A narcissist can be charming, romantic and funny…and he can be arrogant, deceitful, hurtful and despicable.
The two personality disorders are both listed in the “B cluster” group in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV)
In almost every article you read on narcissism you will find plenty of references to “Narcissistic Supply”. What is it? Why do narcissists crave it?
What about the children, the sons, and daughters, living with a narcissistic parent? They have no choice in remaining with the narcissist and are ready victims
Narcissistic rage covers a wide range of behaviors from aloofness or mild irritability to serious, physically violent attacks. A narcissist often makes unrealistic demands on those closest to them.
Should you confront a narcissist? What happens if you do confront him or her? Does the proverbial kitten really turn into a lion?
However, if a person reads the overly-abundant blogs available on the internet, they appear to be overwhelmingly of the opinion that narcissistic traits worsen as the narcissist ages.
