Dealing with a narcissist is absolutely exhausting

[brendanr.ogorman]

Short answer: yes. They exist in the alternate reality of their imagination.

[MORCOPOLO]

Dr. Phil made a good point when he said, " A narcissist can't read a room". They are so busy assuming that others love them as much as they love themselves that they don't realize how they really appear to others.

[GoldenHeartIncorporated]

My narcissist partner caused me to have a mental breakdown.. a true break from reality. I regret trying so hard and doing so much I shouldn’t have.. deep down I knew better.. never again. My health and mental health first.

[harleypage]

I literally had a narcissist ask me " don't you know who I am?" I couldn't believe it, they're definitely delusional

[MzShonuff]

They believe their lies, which is why you'll never convince them they're lies. My narc ex-boss used to say I wasn't detail-oriented but it was actually SHE who was not detail-oriented. She believed she was running the department when in fact I was. After I left, she was revealed as incompetent without me to do all of her work. She blamed me for the fact she now looks incompetent. There is no end to it.

[terridillon]

They "believe" they can keep abusing you and you won't leave.

[genxmum]

I was delusional. I lived in his lala land. I thought he was a good person

[gonzalez]

“Narcissist psychologically are no more developed than children” words of truth. “And above all do not personalise it. Words of such wisdom thanks Doctor.

[ladyv]

Every narcissist I have known has been either delusional or have an overly inflated sense of their own importance, abilities, looks, etc. My narcissist mother still believes that she is smarter and more successful than everyone else she knows. Spoiler. She isn't.

[Slivings]

My narcissist became increasingly delusional with age, but combined with lying, gas lighting, and possibly age related memory issues, it was getting hard to tell. Child like, yes. Innocent and harmless, NO.

[zazjaz]

They need to bring this type of abuse to the law where it becomes a criminal offense. The trail they leave and hurt they cause shouldn’t be able to happen.

[katemcl]

Delusional, yes! All that misremembering and rewriting history and conversations etc. but in the truest sense of the term, my narc-ex absolutely believed the world was against him and if something bad could happen, it would happen to him. I remember a flight got cancelled he was supposed to be on and he said “why does this always have to happen to me?” He was oblivious that there was hundreds of other people on the flight also affected. Same with his view that he was never to blame and always the victim. Delusional through and through.

[NarcissismSimplified]

When they think they know more than the professionals, I say yes, for example.

[nancygreydee]

My narcissistic ex husband is dangerously delusional. He spreads lies about others to cover up and deflect his guilt . He then believes his lies.
I love the analogy of the childhood costumes, so accurate!!

[anonymousanonymous]

There's nothing wrong with being ordinary! I love being being a contributor to society!

[grHer]

Everything is defined by perception. They live in a different reality.

This video was very helpful!

[buffhotchkiss]

They suffer from a lack of character. Who cares what they look like or how much money they have. Really sad. You can't spent one minute in their presence. They all live in a fantasy world of players and actors. Lol

[christinehaigh]

Narcissist steal other's security because they want more and they have no qualms doing so.

[michaelcummings]
