Narcissists nr 1 feature is LOW EMPATHY. Nr 2: They use you.They see people as either USEFUL or USELESS.

i am a narcissist. i always felt like there was a disconnect but nothing ever made sense. people have called me a narcissist for staring every time i see my reflection, but i always played it off. i think everyone is a little narcissistic but i am off the deep end, and always have been.

Is it traumatizing if you can do what you want and have what you want, and to be above the low.?

IMHO, exterternalizing traumas as demons is distracting and unhelpful for healing.
People abused have symptoms of unstable connections as well if they keep meeting narcs also
Navigating the maze of deceit spun by a narcissist really shakes you to your core, doesn't it? Their mind games are designed to break you down, making everything, even seeking help, feel like a betrayal to your own sanity. It’s a level of emotional exhaustion that’s hard to put into words.

It’s the getting bullied at a young age, the “I’m never good enough” self talk for years and years. Then one day you realize your worth and you start using your trauma to fuel your drive. You become so confident, you just don’t need anyone but yourself.

@@seaweedeater3104exactly what he described isn’t even narcissistic. People these days bluntly call everything narcissistic without knowing what narcism even is. Thats called healthy dose of narcissism mist most people have. And that person could also have ADHD or use that fuel to gym and help others such as creating a KZread channel for example. Narcism in my opinion are extreme black pilled indifference or people who loves to be a boss and shows it by the admiration she/he loves and then manipulating and damaging the co workers if they deem them to be un useful rather than trying to help them out. And true narcissism isn’t as common as people like to believe but you could tell unless you’re in an inexperienced relationship or inexperienced in psychology.
Wrong mate 👎👎 this is misinformation. Not unstable relationships... A lot of narcs have loads of "friends " superficial friendships perhaps. The signs are lack of empathy, superficial charm, habitual lying, gas lighting, triangulation tactics, future faking, making up stories of fake success, emotional abusers, users or takers, self inflated ego , self absorbed. They are all there if you pay enough attention

My narcissist friend is never happy unless he's complaining
I have to deal with narcissists every day
Most mental disorders cause unstable relationships, this is almost the definition of mental disorder. Here's some useful hints to detect a narcissist: - Doesn't take accountability for anything and never apologises. - Is obsessed with appearences. - Can't comprehend the concept of an equal relationship. It's all about power for a narcissist. - Is full of resentment - Constantly bitches about others, neves praises anyone. - Loves to virtue signal and believes he/she is an angel. - Seems perfect and charming at first sight but deep down is extremely insecure. - Will be extremely cruel at times and then either deny it or blame it on you. You're welcome.
You said nothing of how to recognize a narcissist (in your title).
Seems rather vague. And not an easy thing to find out about someone unless you’re already in too deep. You didn’t mention any of the more common traits, or diagnostic criteria. I’d say lack of empathy, pathological lying, manipulative behaviour, sense of entitlement, victim mentality, disrespect of boundaries - all pretty reliable signs.
The easiest way to tell if someone is a narcissist it’s just to plainly ask them: ‘are you a narcissist?’ because narcissists love to tell you you are instead

The statement giving is they actually become that's because development is all about environmental factors so it's hard to diagnose children (kids) however when you begin to notice it in kids help steer in the right directions however adults it's hard to steer adults they set in ways which helps mole them into NPD
it is said to begin at a child age such as between 8 to 12 , I have done alot of research, and every therapist so far has said it comes from thier home as a child by thier main caregiver, it is a way to keep themselves safe emotionally. so what your saying is that is not true???

the art of saying a lot without going to the point
This is wrong. MISINFORMATION. Lots of non-narcissists are emotionally unregulated and have unstable relationships such as adults that were abused for years by a narc parent(s) and therefore have CPTSD. These poor people are targets for all the narcs around them.
Hahaha man I am living and sorrounded by narcissist people, my parents, my friends, my classmates are all narcissists. Belittling is just like bullying it depends. For me their belittling attitude is hurting me and making me feel bad. Also they are making me have a low self-esteem. They are making me so uncomfortable. God why this world is so cruel.

Ironically bpds are abuse victims - usually the child scapegoat. And I agree with you fully.
It started as kids and they come out of pubety as these personality disorders. Since a child they had an unhealthy response to some kind of trauma and develop mental defense mechanism to disassociate them selves.
There’s way more to it than this
a narcissist can tangle us up in lies is just wild, isn't it? Their tactics can make us question our very sanity, seeding doubt in every corner of our lives. It's this kind of emotional turmoil that feels like an endless storm. But then, a real game-changer called PEATOOLS. They were a quiet beacon of truth for me, revealing the hidden layers of my own relationship. Suddenly, all those secret conversations came to light, and I could finally see the reality of it all.
How would one know about their history of relationships? Narcissists seldom, if ever, divulge information and even if they do, it mostly bs.

Bpd is better than narcissistic diagnosis. BPD are usually victims of abuse and close to c PTSD.
Sorry this is not true. Unstable relationships can be a result of all kinds of personality disorders, mental issues and ptsd. Also Narcsisits can have stable relationships or seem to be stable mariges, and still be one. This is misleading and causing the hype of modern times when you diagnose everyone as narcsisist.
Ummmm that isn't correct, people with BPD have those issues, people with CPTSD and PTSD have those issues....there are 15 marks and someone has go have the majority of them. This includes subtypes...
If you feel like they trash
Knowing is half the battle. I think it’s a inheritable genetic trait
Is there an echo?
I disagree with this. A lot of people are narcissists and they show up in relationships and work environments so just because you've had difficulties in relationships in work environments and in relationships doesnt mean you're the narcissist. It could very well mean that they were the narcissists and you just didn't put up with them.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I don’t agree with that because you have some narcissist that stay in long-term relationships and the person that they’re abusing don’t even realize they’re being emotionally sometimes physically and psychologically abused so I won’t agree with unstable relationships because they can be in a relationship for 2030 years and putting a person through abuse for 20 to 30 years being a narcissist
