    And yet psychological, "diagnostic" labels are so destructive, such a fallicy, so damaging to people. They are lies from the pit of hell and so is the field of psychology made to destroy human souls. The problem lies elsewhere. And that is as far as I will go. I've seen normal people become so called experts of "diagnosing" people and think they are so intelligent and destructive to the people that came for help. They are like vipers in human garb.

    I like to ask this question because I’m honestly curious and I like the answers I get. No judgment here. Why does it seem like just about every or at least a bunch of psychopaths and sociopaths have the blank eyes? I don’t get it.

    7 months ago,.. I foolishly made a mistake and retired from my best job of 25 years. My job was everything to me.! I stressed so badly to return. The anxiety of the reality of my lifestyle, dreams, and goals were over. I got chronic insomnia and severe depression. The grief I have is horrible. I can't get my life back, and it was my fault. I have no mental energy to do anything anymore, I don't go outside. I have lost the desire to do anything. I just sit almost 24/7... ruminating on coulda shouda wouldas. My mental and physical health are declining.... but im like mentally paralyzed. Unable to stop this. I've called 988. Words are not helping.... im unable to reframe what they suggest. It's my life that was altered. I was so happy, healthy, and always laid back, worry free. Now I'm a wreck. Unable to sleep, stressed with depression. 911

    Some norms are flowing around in western society around today. To be a boss over others, to own power in different ways, to have the last word in the social conversation, to be in power to have not to listen to other people. To have the privilege to not ever say sorry to someone or feel any guilt or shame. The norms are driving the social strife and it is segregating. The dream seems to have become living as an matriarch or patriarch in a mansion and isolating oneself and ones family from social life. As a layman I have learned that in the myriad of realms of family life, there is the most crucial place for creating a decent society. Do we as western people lost our way? I know things are uglier than ever or has it always been this way?

    I didn't find out that my mother (my only "parent") had narcissism until I was nearly 60. Never knew about it at all, I only knew that she was obsessively brutal and unrelenting with psychological abuse..which unfortunately started when I was very young. Narcissism is a hideous pyschological "disease" that only gets worse with age (at least in my experience). My mother is so enslaved by this negative energy/spirit, that I no longer know who she is anymore...it's destroyed her completely as a normal person. My respect and empathy to EVERYONE who has had to deal with this viscious disease. Peace to you all.

    1. It is very unlikely that 2 parents are narcisiSSts... as narcisiSSt always looks to entangle a codependent = (a victim of his previous family of origin) .... into the web of her/ his manipulations = "*family"= obligations . NarcisiSSts run a long life list of narcisiSStic sex partners for quick self grattification, BUT not for marriage. 2. Typical narcisiSStic combination in the modern western world is Evelyn Harper a natcisiSStic )( " empovered") mother... and her son(s) Charlie Harper. ... and invisible ...in the background - in fact,.... socially Surgically REMOVED father. = A destroyed man ... That - instead of bringing his Strong growen sons into the tribe of his men - and * protecting their culture and * their teritory... ... He feed up, A cooks egg .... ... schooled, and sustained a son of a Bit** .... man that think, behaves and operates like a promiscuous narcissistic women = his mother. * Bonus: Not surprise that the Old man died in apolong circumstances, 1. st exploited, then rejected and humiliated, and finaly wrongly accused of narcisissam, (*Once he was in need ) WHILE Charlie was tending his modern Barbies on the EXCLUSIVE Malibu hotel terace. Charlie will definitely like to present this video , to his new girlfriend , as a suporting proof... that He is ok... son ... 😮 ..and his father is a narcisiSSt! 🤥🧐🤔🙃😂😶🤭

    A stranger that cares is much much preferable than living with one or both narcissistic parents.. Being with them under one roof is like a living hell.. You are constantly on alert or vigilant.. Tiptoeing on or around eggshells.. But despite of this drama and abuse still happens.. As they find even the littlest mistakes or they'll invent one if there were none.. They will bait you, accuse you and gaslight you..

    A severe case of grandiose narcissist is worse. That's the Voldemort. Psychopaths lie but they can be easily overpowered by just not believing anything they say. Some psychopaths are mainly logical. The severe cases of grandiose narcissist is more evil and more sadistic.

    Re-traumatization is the worst thing that can happen to a survivor, and a most fearsome experience. It occurs when a traumatized person encounters a situation in his or her life that replicates the original trauma in a real and symbolic manner. A rape victim is menaced by a man at a club and is overwhelmed by the feelings of helplessness and terror that caused the original trauma. A survivor of medical malpractice is re-traumatized when a clinic refuses to refill anxiety meds because the doctor is gone for the weekend. A combat veteran is traumatized in a mortar attack and someone sets off a M-80 next to him. The reactions are completely involuntary and there is no way to ward off these random replications. The victim of re-traumatization is frequently ridiculed and misunderstood. This doctor is clueless, serious trauma lasts a lifetime and there is no cure, only ways to cope. The best help for the survivor is Jesus Christ, who was, and remains, a traumatized person who accepted trauma to show His love for afflicted persons by suffering injustice, torture, humiliation and death to be in solidarity with all traumatized persons. This doctor is a lightweight, and ignorant.

    15 different foster homes. No father mother with mental illness back when they had insane asylums. Mom made me swear I would never sign the release forms so that the psychiatrist could administer electric shock. I was 11 years old when she asked me not to sign the papers I was the oldest son I was the father of the house at 12 war stories aren’t just from war war stories start as soon as you make memories if that’s your life, I have so many war stories complex PTSD is very real more than you know unless you lived it you really can’t speak on it most your people read it out of a book I like this guy he’s come the closest so far but you really can’t speak on it if you didn’t live it, and if you don’t know how to be honest and express your feelings, and tell your war stories I could go on and on I should’ve been a psychiatrist instead of a foster child just saying

    Sorry For several years, I carried deep heavy painful feelings of guilt with me. Which have shifted again and again, as soon as I apologized to a person, for something. I carried the guilt with me and tortured myself, for several years. Until I learned that the One I really needed to apologize to was myself. I tortured myself the most. So I apologize to myself for what I have done to myself. And the intention to apologize is all. So I find my innocence; which I had once lost, again. And by apologizing to myself, I release my heavy guilt. And then I do no harm to others. Because I am at peace with myself and therefore with the world. Therefore, apologize to yourself if you carry deep feelings of guilt with you. Because you can't torture yourself and apologize to yourself at the same time. Tormenting inflicts suffering and apologizing takes away the suffering. "Anyway" and "yes" are the words that enable me to apologize to myself. Because I get impulses to get back into the hamster wheel of apologizing or torturing myself for things. But I say, "Yes, I'm apologizing to myself anyway." And I apologize to others when it is my free choice. And I use these two methods ways. By apologizing to people personally or apologizing to people within myself, if I don't want to make it personal. Because the honest intention is already enough.

    This oddly is something I woke up to after living with my npd parents until my 30s. So I had been dependent on them while on disability for years. Once I realized I had been depending on undependable people who actually were toxic for so long I decided to get as independent as I can. I just wish I had decided to detach from them at an earlier age, as now I’m shaking off the rust when I’d rather be taking complete care of myself.
