Narcissistic Traits List

article image placeholderUploaded by @ThriveLauraMonk
Only get into relationships that somehow benefit them. If it's not beneficial to them, they will discard the relationship pretty quickly. They have an inflated sense of self importance. They think they are either smarter, better or more talented than others. They belittle or look down on others. They will be conceited and pretentious arrogant and think they are superior and quote unquote special. They require excessive admiration, praise and validation

🌱 Laura goes over a long list of narcessistic traits and tendencies. (Part 1 of 5) #MentalHealth #MentalWellness #Narcissism

They take advantage of others and will manipulate to get what they want. Relationships are almost always transactional. They are takers. They want help constantly, but they never want to give help. They feel actually put out if others ask anything of them. That goes alongside with being a taker, not a giver. All right, I'm almost out of time. So to continue listening to more traits and tendencies, continue listening for the next segment

I actually believe they're extremely sensitive and that's why they turned to the Narcissism in the first place, is because they're overly sensitive. But they will come across being very insensitive because they've kind of shut themselves down to their sensitivity. Either they will turn off their emotions or they will have exaggerated emotions. So they either turn off their emotions or they have exaggerated emotions. They lack boundaries, will overstep lines

And they are sometimes afraid of commitment or they want commitment very quickly and total commitment. So it's either they're afraid of commitment or they want total commitment. They have a fear of rejection and ridicule, actually. They are terrified of rejection and ridicule, probably because they were rejected in childhood. And they have deeply repressed shame, fear of abandonment, fear of abandonment, paranoia and they need excessive loyalty

If they can act badly and get loved, then they feel like you really love them, which is a very, of course, unhealthy dynamic and no person who loves their partner should do that to them, right? So the last one is they will almost always seek revenge on those who have slighted them and they have a strong, strong need to win. Okay? So I know that was a lot and there's probably more I didn't mention, but that's plenty

And I'm at that point where all this information, of course, is hard to take in. But I'm ready for the harsh reality of breaking free from all these emotions that I took on as my fault or needing to soothe had nothing to do with me. And I kind of am ready to dump all that. The variety of narcissism, I guess I never heard all the terms and just seeing all of the variety that surround me is insane

And it's not our job to fix everyone. We can do our best, but we can't deplete ourselves trying to help other people get better. That's essentially their job, to make themselves better, not our job. And people aren't going to change unless they want to change. We can't set ourselves on fire to keep other people warm. So you're doing well. Love yourself. Be kind to yourself. You can't pour from an empty cup. Remember that
