There is a joke that perfectly describes the relationship with the narcissist.
On a date, the girl says to the guy:
"You know what, we've been talking for two hours and you're still talking about yourself." Maybe we'll talk about me for a change.
What does he do:
- Of course. Tell me if you like me.
Narcissus this personality today times. This someone, who not returns remarks on other, occupied yourself, yours needed and pleasures. So is the mythical Narcissus.
Mythical Narcissus, he aroused love among girls and nymphs, but he was not interested in any. He rejected too the love of the nymph Echo, which melted from despair and remained after her just a voice. The gods chose to punish Narcissus, v As a result, the self-absorbed Narcissus fell in love with own reflection in water. Unable to to touch the object of his love, he died of despair and changed myself in flower.
Sad truth
If you still love your narcissist and hope to heal him, change him, and live long and happily this - I of course I wish you this with all my heart. Unfortunately, the sad truth is that he is not looking for a partner , there is no room for another person in his life. WITH this reason is not it's easy to love a narcissist. Consequently, your desires and needs are ignored or unnoticed. There is this especially frustrating when it depends U.S on creation mutually
satisfactory relationship. Often for the sake of a relationship we try to see only the positive sides of the partner, and to minimize it importance of destructive traits and behaviors.
However, one must honestly say no in the relationship with the narcissist there is room for nobody but the narcissist so forget you and yours needs will be noticed, or that your personal happiness will be made any difference. This is not your job. Your role in relation to the narcissist is to rave about the narcissist. Give him a testimony every day that he is unique and wonderful. However, remember that narcissists get bored quickly. So don't be surprised if will look for a new applauding z delight, and You? If you are not going to him anymore need it will abandon you, nothing without translating, using mosting - that is, it will disappear like a spirit creating before that, such an atmosphere in which there is no reason to end the relationship . Or he will convince You, it's you you are guilty of the breakdown of your relationship because you did not live up to what you expected. Anyway you will be left with guilt and trauma.
Narcissus is a clever manipulator. Choosing people for your mirror in which you will be viewed and felt special, is guided by a certain type of personality. Usually chooses people attractive, but unsure of their value or which are "donors" in a relationship.
The ideal victim of a narcissist is a highly sensitive person (OWW or HSP - Highly Sensitive Person ). Why?
1. It is in the nature of such a person to give and this means sensitive people often submit other people's needs above your own. Forgetting about myself.
2. Persons sensitive are very Open on other. They occupy myself things and problems other people, are
how containers down store emotions. Very often confuse others' emotions with their own by feeling eat as intensely as yours own.
3. If you have low self-esteem, you may overlook signs that something is wrong that you are not being treated properly. You ignore the fact that the narcissist is offending you, thereby allowing to keep treating you badly and disrespectfully.
4. if you feel myself victim or In past you were victim, this by way In what myself you keep you say what your body language is ... you expose this belief to the outside world. Narcissus will immediately notice it and choose it your goal.
5. Sensitivity of highly sensitive people on feelings and emotions other, means they can't say no. Refusal seems wrong to them, causing distress and hurting others. You think that since you feel the other person's emotions you have to do something about it, help it, reduce the suffering ...
Don't forget that you are not responsible for other people's feelings.
Highly sensitive people, donors or those with low self esteem often do the need to flood the narcissist love, show you how is important to them. When this moment comes when a narcissist becomes dissatisfied feel guilty it's because of them have a bad temper that they are not good enough for the narcissist so they try even harder and harder. They want to make up for his suffering and sorrow, they want to take all the pain on them a narcissistic existence. And this is wrong wheel, you will never please a narcissist, he will always be he wanted more and more, and hearing how unhappy he (or she) is, because you do not meet his expectations, you will try to love him more, give more of yourself, allow cross another border ... With the hope that he will be interested in you again, he will be nice and charming again. You will become "the little match girl" from Andersen's fairy tale, you will be waiting for every smile, good gesture of your narcissist, pleasant moments for two ... and these moments will be like matches in a fairy tale that warmed up body of a little girl, but sooner or later they faded out. Do you remember what happened to the girl from that fairy tale? She died. Do you want to be like her?
Remember!
Narcissus doesn't need it Your love. Only your own. So don't try to "fix" it. You will never be able to "fix" anyone. Moreover, you shouldn't. Everyone has their own path to follow and become a healthy person. Everyone has to walk this path on their own, making their own mistakes, learning to pick up and discover how to love themselves. Without these valuable lessons, no one will have enough love to give it to someone else. Attempt getting the narcissist to love you it's like carrying a baby in your arms and waiting for her to walk. Sometimes too much help can make the other person disabled. You have to learn some things yourself. And the narcissist is too scared confrontation with the real world to understand that the emptiness he carries within himself can only be filled by himself. Unfortunately, without learning to love oneself, narcissus injured people, all life trying to get the love you he is missing inside, love from someone important someone who neglected him as a child - often his mother.
Do not let you become the person who is to "heal" the narcissist, give him "motherly" love and let him use and hurt you, only known to narcissists and short-lived way. You are not responsible for someone else's journey. You are responsible for your own journey, your own feelings, your own life ...
Not allow a situation where you feel good only then when a narcissist praises you, when he tells you how important and valuable you are. Relying on someone else to make you believe these things will only make you dependent on them, and then you will become a victim again. You have to give it all to yourself. Realize that you are a good and kind person, that you are capable to tremendous compassion and love and that you yourself deserve love. If the other person doesn't reflect it in the way they treat you, it's time to leave.
