The Truth Is It's All About Them

Everyone knows one. These facts are for both sexes:

* Approximately 1% of the population is narcissistic.

* Narcissism is a psychological condition characterized by self-preoccupation, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem.

* A narcissist sees his life as a movie or dramatic story in which he has the starring role. He creates a character, and assimilates the emotions of that character.

* Narcissists appear to have emotions, feelings, empathy; they cry, laugh, feel your pain, etc, but none of this is real. They don’t feel it. It’s not linked to anything internal. They’re crying at the funeral, for sure, but on the inside they’re wondering why it doesn’t hurt as much as they think it should.

* They are extremely vain.

* They are often very outgoing, with a “larger than life” personality. They are great fun in social situations, which makes them popular.

* Hurting a narcissist does not cause him to feel sadness. You can only make a narcissist feel rage.

*Their sense of self-importance and lack of empathy means that they will often interrupt the conversations of others.

*Listen for the constant use of "I", "me" and "my" when they talk.

*Can get emotional, tearful. This is about show or frustration rather than sorrow.

* Needs threats, intimidations to keep others close to him.

* Always feels misunderstood.

* Very good at reading people, so he can manipulate them. Sometimes called gaslighting.

Hmm. Le tear [why am I crying again? Oh yeah, to get in her pants~grins internally~]. *preeens hair* you were saying? I think that I will take some time for me while I make sure I have all the necessary bits to make me happy. Because really it IS all about me and my world...lol. Does that fit? If it does then I think we all have a bit in us. Besides, who likes a doormat? Very unsexy IMO.
