List away...

When I am reading about narcissism I often find ideas like this repeated:

The narc has no self
has no real emotions (but has learned to simulate them)
is incapable of giving or receiving love

Although this does seem to explain a lot of narcissistic behaviors, I feel some confusion about how these ideas have been arrived at and how these things can be known with certainty.

Does anybody know more about this?

...but how can I know that to be the case? I consumed the chocolate, it didn't envelope me: My mind is not subjective to the chemicals that produce these properties, I'm only aware of what I'm thinking: not what's really happening.

I go into a Hershey bar expecting my mood to slightly elevate. And what a surprise! It has.

Would the result be different, had I not known of chocolates' anti-depressive traits?


This is really ...

It is strange because although I have learned a great deal about NPD and it explains perfectly what I experienced, I find suddenly myself having the feeling that none of it can be real. Some part of me does not seem to be able to accept that a person can have consciously do the things she did to me, in a calculating way, without emotion. And I find myself feeling that it is I myself ...

I was in a relationship with my “N” for over almost two years. I tried to get out, and had a very hard time doing it. I finally got out about five months ago. I met someone very special just by chance about six weeks ago. I have changed so much from before I met my “N.”

My biggest problem is I will call this gal up, if she does not get back to me ...

When "no good" is not enough any more, there are too choices: end the relationship or revamp it on your own terms. Option #2 is next to impossible with a Narc.

I am however convinced that both parties are addicted to each other. The weak side of Narcissism craves NS.

I am, however, finding myself going back and forth between the two options. She has been trying to please me lately, which suprises me.

Frankly, ...

This is a whimsical, insipid story about, a Narcissist's romance. A meager tale, of humble tell: it is the story that very few who really know me, will ever hear.

Her name is T. She is my best friend's girlfriend, and she loves her A with all her heart. We've spent, a lot of time together..just as friends, just as...all I could ever ask for. I think about her night and day, not a sunrise ...

Hi I recently realized that my husband has NPD. He is undiagnosed yet fits the bill completely. Our marriage has been horrible for me. This is the problem. We have a two year old together. He seems to be generally a good father. The only thing is that he tries to instill all his interests and beliefs in him in an extreme degree. He also won't take any advice on care of him, actually, will ...

Temper tantrums, periodic rage followed by calmness. I have noticed that if I wait for the right moment, it is much easier to discuss things with my NP. More constructive, in any case.

However, there are times, when it just cannot wait. I must bring up issues, which will throw her in complete rage.

I am tired of waiting around for periods of "least resistance", times when she is willing to listen.

How does one ...

Hi
I found on the internet a lot of sites for victims of npd, and a lot of raw feelings are expressed against npd sufferers. I don't feel really good when i read these things all over the internet.
So I wanted to create a place for those of you who want to relieve fear and change your life.Most of people judge and see us as evil. But there's a lot of fear and tension ...
