No I'd like to know is this example I'm going to tell you is this narcissistic personality disorder? Whenever I need to go somewhere he refuses to use the GPS. Rather he would go by what he thinks is the right route knowing that he was brought up in this area but every time he wants to do his way he gets lost or we are late for some appointment and he says I don't need no GPS. So the other day I had to go somewhere I told him the address he marked it down and I kept my mouth shut and I said to him are you sure you know exactly where you are going and he says yes I've got it written down so about two times he took the wrong way and then I turn the GPS on and the GPS got him out of the area and right back on the track where he needed to go and then he turns to me and says if you didn't have that GPS on I wouldn't have lost my way and I says I didn't have the GPS on you asked me not to have it on. So I shut it off and I said are you sure now we are going on the right route Amy says yes I know exactly were ..
LOL so I did turn the GPS off well if ends up he goes ten blocks out of the way instead of going on 144th Street I noticed at 134th Street we were way off by 10 streets and if I didn't say anything he would have kept on going. Still he refused to use the GPS now tell me something is that narcissistic personality disorder or is that stubbornness? By the way this is just a friend that's it because I could never live with somebody like this
Can you still be in narcissist even if you don't demand special recognition and you don't give the impression you're better than somebody
I like what your dad says cellmate not soulmate.
Above everything I truly feel empathy for them. I am not going to change my empathetic nature, I am not going to hold hate or grudge within me. I wish with my heart to help them, but I know they won’t accept it. I can only feel empathy because I know I will be over this, but they will never get over the misery of their soul.
When I see them fight, when I see them agitated, when I see them trying to bring me down…. it doesn’t hurt me anymore, I don’t take it personal, bc I know is not about me, its about them being so vulnerable inside.
I see them in rage or pretending and I just stare in silence and I think: I am sorry you can’t understand I want to help you, I am sorry you are not able to accept your weaknesses and yourself as a whole, I am not mad, I feel sorry for you.
But I can’t play this game with you, I don’t
want to harm you, I know you are already harmed inside.
Sorry, But I can’t let you change me for the worse, I must keep loyal to what is right, you don’t need me acceptance, you need your acceptance, and that is something I can’t give you.
Creating dichotomies of narcissist vs. Non-narcissist is not very helpful. It feels like a dichotomy fixation directly rooted from abuse/scapegoating.
A basic psychic vampire
How does it affect them when you tell them that they are a narcissist. And tell them you know they cant love anybody and that she needed to get mental help . Just curious .
Thank you for providing such valuable information. I am an empathic co-dependent. Have broken off a 2 year toxic relationship with a Narcissist. I'm not in therapy as I'm currently unemployed. I find your videos and others like yours so helpful during this truly difficult time.
Sadly, it's not just US culture. Most cultures tolerate and worship narcs.
What do I do I think I am a nacacist and my codependant my wife has left me.befor her my first wife of 8 years was my codependant.it sounds like your explaining my life and I don't want to be like this any more.
