Here's Why Narcissists Are Completely Out Of Balance

In our early years of development, each person has moments when self-preservation is necessary. Narcissists, however, become greatly imbalanced in their efforts, and Dr. Les Carter explains what throws them off. One primary trait is lacking is lacking as they assert their needs.

📣 Dr. Carter's new course, Anger Games, is now available! 📣

They’re full of hate and take it out on innocent people.

[isabellcaputo]

"Humility is the ultimate strength." Love that.

[MisssAnthrope]

Chaos is the ladder. Control. Control. Control, no matter how pointless.

[janebraun]

They don't know that you know, and they resent you more, most likely they will try to hurt you for feeling rejected, you are just trying to give yourself the respect that they cannot.

narcissists aren't just communication clowns, they're the entire circus.
their gaslighting, stonewalling and silent treatments when asked questions they don't like, exposes their immaturity.

that’s why narcissists never grow - instead they rot from the inside.

I suppose lack of empathy, insight, and self-awareness are the big reasons. They cannot listen to others, learn from others, or reflect on themselves. As a result, everything they do or say is unbalanced.

So true. 5 years, he won't leave me alone. An attorney, so he is ALWAYS right.

Narcissists create all of the problems, questions, doubts, confusion & the drama, & when you call them on it, it’s ALL YOUR FAULT for whatever goes south in the relationship. They prove on an ongoing basis they think like adversaries & they won’t have your back. All suffering they do will be biased on the partner while accepting zero responsibility.

I've thrown him into confusion. He doesn't know what to do because instead of getting angry, I walk off. He's tried making me angry so many times and thanks to these videos I've learned a lot and I don't let any anger show. They don't know what to do with that. Thanks Dr. Carter.

I have remained distant from the narcissists in my family for a little over twenty years... I have clearly enraged them because they can't infiltrate my peaceful world...😅 Nothing upsets a narcissist more than never having access to you...😊 Stay safe...🙏

[grantaugustyniak]

They take all their short comings, anger, bad decisions ect… out on everyone around them. Only you can put an end to that and no one else.

[howdydocowgirlcowgirl]

I feel like I'm in constant survival mode & walking on eggshells when around the "self-preservation" narc. It's rather exhausting.
They're not trustworthy, themselves, & I think it makes them suspicious of others.

[claireluckensmeyer]

I'm on day 1 of a 5-day family reunion with the person I'm married to who - at the least - has very high narcissistic tendencies. He's there, I'm home peacefully mucking about the house while he holds court. Every person in that building would be astonished to find out how he spoke to me this morning though. Here's hoping he loses control, just once, in front of witnesses...ugh

Humans were not endowed by their creator with the ability to manipulate others. Those who choose this path become unbalanced eventually leading to a tragic end.

Humility is the ultimate strength

[puremaledark]

As i watch your pup in the background; i really do believe animals know good people. My animals have always HATED the narcs around me.

[peggypaine]

Thank you Dr C. You have helped me so much.
Take good care of yourself. We need you.

[yukio_saito]

They are a know-it-all without knowing it at all. 😮

[amandaliverpool]

Actually, one of the narcs I used to know was quite well balanced. He had a chip on BOTH shoulders. Then again he was very exceptional. Everyone else was wrong except him 😳

[benjaminbosley]

Narcissism is the absence of humility.
