Narcissists are Miserable - And Want You To Be Too!

The #narcissist uses #emotionalabuse to #control and manipulate. The relationship with #narcissists is a #toxicrelationship where the narcissist will #belittle you and use #namecalling so they can feel better about themselves. While this is emotional abuse, not all people who emotionally abuse are narcissists.

How do you know if someone is a narcissist or just mean? Narcissists use emotional abuse in their toxic relationships as a way to control and manipulate. But do only narcissists use emotional abuse? Narcissists are mean and there is no denying they are abusive. But are all emotional abusers narcissists? How do i know if my partner is a narcissist or just emotionally abusive? Knowing whether your partner is a narcissist doesn’t excuse their behavior, or excuse the abuse from a non-narcissist. What it does do is allow you to understand your partner’s way of thinking and then understanding how best to deal with their abuse. Are they a narcissist or just mean helps you understand what best ways to counter their abusive ways. Name calling is one way in which someone can be emotionally abusive. Why narcissists call you names is because they need to put you down and feel as small as possible. If you think my partner says mean things to me then there is no doubt their behavior is unacceptable. But are they acting abusive because they have no control over their behavior, or is it as a way to control and manipulate as you would see with a narcissist. The narcissist says hurtful things to put you down. Is emotional abuse my fault? No, it is never your fault that someone emotionally abuses you. No matter what you said to upset the narcissist, it doesn’t excuse their emotionally abusive behavior. Why are narcissists so angry? Because they react to the world around them and can’t manage their own emotions. They then lash out with the narcissistic rage as one of their narcissistic punishment tactics. The narcissist is emotionally abusive but not all emotional abusers are narcissists.

Narcissists don't need an excuse to abuse others. Because of their inability to regulate their emotions, they become spiteful, bitter, dangerous, and intolerable.

I have believed for a long time they purposely abuse to bring their target down to elevate themselves. I have been the target. A narcissist will turn on the charm when it suits them and easily turn back to being mean.
I don't excuse deliberate cruelty.
