this is not an exaggeration. I have multiple girlfriends that have been married or engaged to each other for years. The list is long, it includes my ex-girlfriends, ex-boyfriends, ex-husbands, my current girlfriend, and her ex. My current girlfriend has been married to my ex for years and has a couple of other exes as well. The list is endless. Some of these women have been married for a few years, others have been married for decades.
I am not here to debate the existence of narcissism or its relationship to marital bliss. I am just here to say that I am one. I am highly self-aware and I am highly self-conscious. I love my wife and I love my ex in equal measure. It’s just that I can’t stand her and I keep wanting to punch her. It’s an irrational fear that I have in regards to myself that I need to address here.
Narcissism is a problem that affects the self as much as the other people in our lives. It takes a very high level of self-awareness to recognize your own flaws. If you are not aware of them, you are not going to improve yourself. Narcissists are the ones who want to fix everything. This is a very common trait of narcissism.
Narcissists are often described as being “selfish,” and this is true. Most people who are narcissists are actually “selfish” in the sense that they are only concerned with themselves and not the lives or well-being of others. That is why narcissists often do the best of the best in their relationships, such as having sex with multiple partners at once.
And it’s why narcissists are so attracted to others’ narcissism. It’s what they need that makes them so good at it.
We’re not exactly sure how narcissism works. But, in general, people with narcissism tend to act selfish, but not to the extent that they are selfish. Narcissistic behaviors include being overly generous, being overly jealous, and being overly competitive. And all of these narcissist behaviors are driven by the need to be admired, so they are often self-centered in that they seek to be admired by others.
The narcissist personality has been linked to a number of unhealthy behaviors in the past, many of which were considered “normal.” For example, narcissists are often seen as selfish, but not to the extent that they are selfish. They also tend to be less empathic and have a “I-need-to-look-at-you” kind of mentality.
Narcissism, the most extreme form of narcissism, is driven by the need to be seen and admired, which also drives people to take care of others, to be the perfect provider, and to be the perfect parent. Being selfish and narcissistic doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive. It’s not that the person in narcissistic relationships is self-centered or selfish, but that they are driven by a need to be seen.
The need to be seen is another thing that drives us to take care of others and to be the perfect provider. There are many, many ways to be the perfect provider. For instance, an alcoholic is more likely to be the perfect provider if they are also the perfect drinker. A perfectionist is more likely to be the perfect provider if they have a high level of confidence and self-esteem.
The narcissist is a person who is driven by a need to be the center of attention and to be admired and desired. Narcissists are often insecure and often feel that they need to be in the spotlight and feel that they are worthy of special attention.
