News of Narcissistic Personality Disorder Forum

Why do you want to control, manipulate, take revenge etc?

Do you not think about moral values? What is right, what is wrong etc?

Why is it that hurting others make you feel good?

There has to be some beginning, when it started, why it started etc?

Thanks in advance for any feedback that you will provide...

This is my first post ever on this site but I am desperately looking for advice for my situation.

My best friend of 8 years is a self admitted narcissist. He has a lot of the official traits of someone with NPD so I don't think that is a question. Overall it has never really affected our friendship until recently. I have dealt with the occasional narc rage but he has always been a pretty ...

Just something on my mind.. Despite my covert N's success, it seemed like the journey to reach success is ignored, or not part of the experience. This would extend to other facets of life. We were headed to Europe once and she seemed more obsessed with flying first class then the experiences we had there, or the culture. In fact, she disliked history and didn't like Europe all that much because people didn't speak English ...

Long story - but something a man who I believe is a Narcissist said something to me recently that baffled me. We haven't known each other that long and are vaguely romantically involved.
He texted me and said "you have passionate love for me". I was flabbergasted. I think he thinks that I obsess over him constantly. I don't love him, I barely know him. During the time I have known him it's been intense ...

I have recently been diagnosed with NPD.
After I was diagnosing everyone else, like a lot of people on this forum do.
What a wake up!
Now, I would like to work on myself and get better and more self-aware. I have never been on any forum before and I hope that engaging myself in discussions would be helpful for me (I know, it's all about me).
I would like to hear from others with ...

There seems to be so many different types I am getting very confused! I have not actually been diagnosed with anything except a very vague borderline/low self-esteem/depression.

I came to realise about co-dependency and narcissism having just come out of a very turbulent relationship with someone I would definitely describe as a narcissist. Arrogant, over confident, selfish, complete lack of guilt (I was going out with his brother first and we cheated on him). He ...

Have you made any progress since?

If some one tells you something slightly hurtful intentionally just to see your reaction which you don't know obviously do u still go into rage?

You're doing something wrong. You're hurting people.

You're not better than anyone else but you act like you are.

The best thing for everybody is to starve the bad behavior. Why does anyone let it continue.

It can't continue without people who feed it.

it was a two year off and on relationship where i was systematically torn to pieces, every tactic was used from gaslighting, blame shifting, silent treatment etc. I was devalued and degraded so badly i lost all confidence in myself, i thought it was my fault. i'm a borderline and consistently thought that it was my behavior that was pushing him away. now that i've done my research i realise he was just using me ...
