Do narcissists KNOW that they are narcissists?

Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health condition characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. And here I discuss my own personal experience living with narcissistic personality disorder. Including the symptoms and behaviors associated with this disorder, as well as how it has affected my life. I also share some of my coping strategies and how I have been able to manage the disorder, along with helping you understanding your loved ones and their behaviors that may seem almost incomprehensible and potentially hurtful. Hopefully, my channel will provide insight into what it's like to live with narcissistic personality disorder, as well as what it's like for your loved ones. Thank you for watching!

Its a misconception that narcissists dont know they are narcissists, they 💯 know they just dont see anything wrong with it...

[blankearth]

Narcissists don’t sit around wondering if they are narcissists. Their narcissism won’t allow it and they can’t introspect

Someone told me once “you’re a narcissist!” and proceeded to give examples of my toxic actions to insult me. And that was the first time I became self-aware. I messaged him a year later apologizing and thanking him for being harsh on me because he helped me to confront these toxic traits and that they are rooted in a disorder (npd). He apologized as well and yep happy ending ig.

Most people don’t even know who a narcissist is or what narcissism means. They think a narcissist is a just… a very selfish person.. only those who suffer at the hands of a narcissist truly know who a narcissist is.

My mother, a narcessist, would always accuse me of faking my emotions for attention or control. No, that's what SHE does. She just can't fathom that people have genuine emotions with no ulterior motives.

My ex definitely knew. When I called him a narcissist, he said “Narcissists and sociopaths aren’t known for their apologies. I’ve apologized to you a few times already.” True he did, but it was the generic empty blanket meaningless apologies that narcissists are known to give like “I’m sorry for everything” or “I’m sorry for hurting you.” There was no ownership, remorse, or genuine accountability. No specifics or details about what he did wrong or how it made me feel. And frankly I’m convinced someone he dated before me called him a narcissist or sociopath too because I was definitely not expecting that response I got or his familiarity with the terminology. How on earth would he have known otherwise? My discard came shortly after and he’s also been avoiding me like the plague ever since.

Narcissistic people definitely don’t sit around thinking, oh, am I a Narcissist?
They don’t have that brain wave feature.

They know deep inside. That's why once you confront them, at first they get agitated or act like this isn't old news to them.

[deborahdellinger]

It takes a big person to admit a fault, after all, any one can be a jerk.. well done..

[Leelee-opvj]

99% of people don't know the definition of a narcissist. Ask someone and they'll tell you it's someone that is conceited and can't pass up a mirror. So you think a true narcissistic personality disorder person knows what they are and their faults, hell no.

[Sarahmarie]

The one I know paid for a personality test to try to prove he wasn’t a narcissist….

You’re one of the lucky ones that not only became self aware but are doing something about it. My ex Narc is 63 you and still won’t get help. It’s to much work for him. Imagine all the pain he’s out himself and others through. The live he’s lived has been no walk in the park at all. Think of all the aggravation and bad life your dodging and will dodge. Stay in therapy and they say it takes a good five years and a bit to do the work. Best to do the work now that your young vs a lifetime on constant pain and turmoil and repeat. Good for you!

Narcissists are heavily demonized with little understanding

[leeboriack]

If you are disconnected from how others feel get evaluated by a therapist.

I just want to say it's really cool of you to acknowledge this, and validate others who are victims of it.

I have narcissist cousin, after the funeral of our gandpa, our older cousin ask us 1 by 1 what the cost or what we remember while we are crying and she said to us, that she cry because she just want. And I was so offended that moment and the way she said it. And the most crazy part is that my flying monkey aunt ask her if she want to gave any last message. Instead of her older sister or her younger sister who did not reach him alive. And I'm so mad that she call me fake because I call her fake at her back, I mean what she expect me to say?

[mikeflair]

I agree we know something is off internally. Grandiose narcissists are easy to see, vulnerable narcissists work undercover or in the background, they are harder to spot.

[franvillarreal]

They have no feelings, no sympathy, no emotions, they are dead inside.

[quickgirl]

Narcissists don’t acknowledge it because it’s not a problem for them. It’s a problem for us.

[johnshaw]

That is true if you're not even sad at a funeral you have to be a narcissist
