  • Narcissists are intolerable, if you should happen to run across one just punch him/her in the face

  • @noibn2 or, better yet, ignore them. Narcissists can't stand being ignored.

  • @emymummy why love him? he doesn't love you or your kids. he sees you as objects or possessions, which is why he purposely makes you feel weak and dependent. divorce him, sue him, take the kids, and become a financial and emotional drain to him as that's what he deserves.

  • @beautifulInner You're a narcissist that learned to respect people? You're so full of shit I can smell your breath through my monitor. As long as you learn to keep your fucking mouth shut, avoid ad hominem attacks, and understand that others have boundaries that YOU should not cross, then you'll avoid being the object of hate that you more than likely deserve to be. Fuck you and everyone like you.

  • I grew up in a family with a narcissistic father and psychopathic brother. After years of relentless abuse, I realized that the only way to handle them is to avoid them (which makes them feel more powerful) or get in their face and relentlessly attack their attack. Never give them room to breathe and always make them feel under threat of physical violence as they are never afraid of threatening with violence. If you relent, they see this as an opening for attack. Never give an opening, ever.

  • What do you guys think is the pivotal point that separates a narcissist from a sociopath? It seems that sociopaths are more violent, but they seem to share almost all the characteristics, more or less.

  • @gummynumberone You have it already. Your narcissist has just made you forget that. Just do it and you will find what resources you have. It was part of the healing for me to find what incredible strength I had. It was buried and forgotten, but there all along.

  • @MouraVianna email me any help.myfather is.and i work with him in business.....

  • @KraftwithaK how do you get the strength?

  • @beautifulInner well done,really :)

  • Less worth then i am,you are just you and im me.I just respect others so why can they just repsect me?. I looked the world as being beautiful,and same with humans.They are all here for me, AND for you!.If i dident had to hear all my life how to be and not to be.And have tried so hard to bee what im not("Normal"),and just respected.I couldt maybye do the same against you!. Make me diffrent and i make you diffrent you know what i mean?. We are humans we all here for a reason.Peace

  • Hey im a narcissist,have proberly been it all my life.I have had alot of troubles and conflicts with other people.I have now learned,that all my troubles and others have been because i had hurt people in diffrent ways.Sometimes because i really wanted to,and other times because it could fuel have i feeled other ppl looked at me. I have now comed by to the conclusion that i am what i am, i have learned to respect other ppl and dont hurt them endless they hurt me.
