  • some people who have their sun in their first house are very similar to the reptilian/narcissist, they are very self interested, high energy, critical, devoid of empathy and very hard work. meet one who has both and you are in for a bumpy ride.

  • "Healthy Narcissism" as you have described it, is just a healthily developed ego and self confidence. Narcissism is when somebody has TOO LARGE of an ego and thus it becomes a negative thing.

  • When I told my husband he is too sensitive ,he replied " I thought it was good to be sensitive ?" I told him " towards others , not yourself ! How many narcissists make that mistake I wonder?

  • Narcissists can function very well and even better than before in society because the corporate culture caters to them and their hypocritical and sadistic needs. The corporate culture blacklists empaths and reasonable people. This is like Communist China.

  • I absolutely admire the philosophical writings.

    Especially the wording. It paints a picture really well.

  • I agree totally. It is refreshing!

  • I found its a zombie like demeanour in my experiance.you cant help them or abide them unless you want to be used up.you Cnt reason,form boundaries,make resolutions or even expect them to keep to social norms or promises of any kind.The only way to help is to leave and dont ever go back,you would not have a zombie like creature in your home,would you?external zombification is easy to identify,as is internal zombification.if a prospective partner acts like an emotional zombie.kick them to the Kerb

  • Form what i have seen of life narcissists rule the world! If true N's are only 1% of the population , why are they everywhere ? I believe that almost everyone behaves narsisictacly with some one in their life but with most people act "normal" . Like you said before Sam , submission breeds contempt . That seems to be my problem I'm too nice ,make no demands or requests, and then wonder why no one treats me like I think I should be treated .

  • @Kathydrel Exactly, almost every single person I've met is a full fledged sadistic narcissist. The exploitation, the manipulation, the lack of empathy, the arrogance, the incompetence, the cover ups, passive-hostility, gaslighting, doublespeak, interrogations, etc. It's truly awful. I expose people like that if they are in the professional world. I'm sick of it.

  • One of your best, Sam. Had never thought about it in the sense that the narcissist can only function BECAUSE of their pathology. Thanks so much!

  • Please explain if there are any differences between a narcissistic personality and one with a sociopathic personality? I have been under the impression they are different, but traits of both and psycopathic as well, can be mixed in the three?

  • Brilliant Again Sam!................totally agree with pippisongbird................a­ha, but since Sams hard advice about boundries I have, in one sweep, got rid of 2 narcs, and am recognising them all over the place! Sam has given me the strength to do exactly as he says. No second chances, no contact...................and I joined a gym...........................­6 pack here we come!.......blessings Sam......you are the best!

  • I found this information from an article (about people who give too much):

    "If you were raised dysfunctionally, you were taught that “being nice” or being a “good” person meant not needing or taking “too much” from anyone...When you don’t ask for enough, you repel the best friends and you attract the worst ones because you don’t make requests, much less demands...You’re the one they (bad friends) like because you’re so “easy” to know, so “nice”.

  • Why do some people become narcissistic and others don't? My childhood sucked as much as everyone else's did. What causes the difference in paths people take. Empathy? Is it a biological predisposition in our behavior.

  • What is the opposite of a narcissist?

  • @jayeenn bipolar? :P

  • @jayeenn The opposite to a narcissist is an Empath but despite it sounding all good and jolly, anything in the extremes is a bad thing. Empaths also, ironically, have narcissistic traits. They are also loosely called do-gooders.

  • @jayeenn I meant to write the opposite to a psychopath is an empath, as for narcissist it is difficult to define the opposite as everyone has narcissistic qualities within them to have a healthy ego. The only thing I've heard of is when Sam mentioned narcissistic death, which is severe to mental health, these people are at risk of harming themselves. Empaths believe they are great at reading people and know how to solve other peoples problems.

  • 1st to the psych scene.
