By KRISTIN DIZON Jerk. Witch. Creep. You’ve probably used such names to describe a romantic partner gone bad, or maybe a few choice words of the four-letter variety. But, there’s another name for the ones who are so self-absorbed and self-centered that all of their needs and wants come first: the narcissist. He’s the boyfriend who begs you to leave your job, family and rent-controlled apartment to move to another state to be with him, only to discover, after moving, that he’s got another...

I talk about the character disordered so much and see so much of this disorder in those around us - especially in the political realm - these days I thought I'd repost writing goddess, the late Kathy Krajco's piece on 'how to make' a narcissist. While most narcissists are male, some can be female (I should know - I was raised by one). And no, I am not one. I do have problems but this isn't one of them. ~~~~~~ by Kathy KrajcoThe reddest red flag is perverted behavior. Leave out the sexual...

Narcissists expect and demand that the ones nearest and dearest to them, tolerate, admire, love, and cater to their needs. They expect others to be at their immediate disposal. Their behavior is obnoxious, aloof and indifferent and they fully realize this. Narcissists test the mental limits of people's patience. Individuals in a relationship with a narcissist feel something is not “quite right,” and many seek answers to the unsettling experience of day to day contact with a narcissist...

WHEN OTHERS SYMPATHIZE WITH YOUR NARCISSISTIC ABUSER from this site: CLICK HERE Since when is it good to be friendly with bad people? Since when is winking at their wrongdoing a virtue? Perhaps someone can quote chapter and verse in the comments, because holier-than-thous really deserve to have their religion's true teachings show what frauds their twisting of religious doctrine makes them. In the New Testament, in Revelations, I believe, in one of the letters to the churches, some holier...

Republishing some work of the late Kathy Krajco on Narcissism. This sounds like so many people I knew and politics as of late, it was well-worth a repost. Dissociation by Kathy Krajco A narcissist's "self absorption" is absorption in a false self. An external entity. His false image. This accounts for the strangest thing of all about malignant narcissists: they are as out of touch with themselves as they are with the rest of the world! All people can get out of touch with themselves and...

Narcissistic Types
1. You don't matter There is only one person that counts in a narcissist’s life, that is, the narcissist. This is a hard concept to grasp. Narcissists by nature are takers and the truth is that you probably only ever mattered at the point in time when you could supply 'that thing' the narcissist...

Narcissistic personality disorder is aptly characterized as a "disorder of the self." That's because the narcissist can't stand his or her self. But instead of reforming the true self, narcissists cheat. They just project a false image of their self.
And the first person they tell this lie to is...

Let's take a look at this line that narcissists aren't really bad, that they lash out at you because they feel "threatened."
This idea begs the question "Threatened in what way?" and "Threatened by what?"
If you're the victim of a narcissist, you know that this "threatened" excuse is a farce...

It seems to me that the adult children of narcissists who learn of NPD and then go through the natural process of dealing with this stunning revelation fare better than those who get involved in codependency therapy.
You are at first enormously relieved, because your instincts were right and the...

The first thing the victims of narcissists need to know is that they are not to blame.
Not one bit.
In other words, he didn't get mad because dinner was was late. She didn't blow up because you are "too this" or "too that." You didn't "ask for it" by speaking up and saying that you deserved...

To create the work of art that is their grandiose false image, narcissists often cheat. That is, they don't make themselves seem great when they can get away with just making themselves look better than others the easy way = by comparison = by making others look bad.
This is why every malignant...

As I mentioned before, I am the child of a malignant narcissist. Now, can I have a sister of nearly the same age who is a malignant narcissist? Of course. But how could that ever happen if conventional wisdom is correct?
Indeed, if having a parent with NPD causes NPD, how can there be so many...

The discussion at the post Cruel and Unusual Punishment took an ironic turn that you might like to check out.
To briefly summarize:
The post pointed out how narcissists suffer when they are alone. This happens when their sources of narcissistic supply dry up and they can't find another host. No...
