Narcassism

Living or working with a Narcissist?

Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a mental disorder. But how many people who live with a narcissist don’t realise what they are dealing with, what they face on a day to day basis and how their life and more importantly their mental health is being manipulated.

One moment adulation and statements of love and affection and then the next, ridicule, hurt, put downs and totally stripping the person of their self worth.

See if any of these traits fit the person you live with. It could be your mother, father, a sibling, spouse or someone at work.

Fantasies of being someone of importance, highly intelligent and well qualified, incredibly attractive etc

Believing that they are superior to everyone else and that they deserve that recognition

Very needy and demanding constant affection and praise

Being entitled and expecting total obedience from others around especially family

Exploitation of other so that they can reach their goals

Intense jealousy of others especially those who they see might upstage them

Belief that people are jealous of them and those people are only to be pitied

Arrogant attitude

Can’t cope with loosing in a game or in business etc

Blaming others for their mistakes – never being able to say sorry

Gas lighting – e.g saying that someone had done something or said something and they hadn’t, thereby confusing the sufferer

Symptoms of someone suffering from narcissistic abuse

Anxiety and depression

Always trying to please and keep the peace

Extremely low self belief and esteem

Weak personal boundaries

Attachment issues

Feeling that everything is their fault

Self criticism and thinking no one likes them

Is there a way out?

Sabina has studied narcissism at length and will be able to help anyone who believes that they are suffering as a result of the continuing mental and sometime physical abuse.

The sooner you get help the better – don’t leave it and hope it will get better – IT WON’T. The abuser will never change if they are high on the spectrum of narcissism for the simple reason that don’t believe there is anything wrong with them. Lower down the spectrum then the narcissist maybe open to therapy and understanding how their actions are affecting people around them.
