Does anyone know about narcissistic personality disorder?

Answer 1

Secular term - Narcissistic personality disorder is yet another label used to make excuses for individuals that stalk other individuals (their target) by lying to them and about them. These individuals make enough excuses for their behavior towards you on their own - then you have to protect yourself from the host of the enlisted. If there is a child involved better get your full armor on because your going to need it...a child going thru a rebellious stage is of great use to adult individuals that enjoy living in sin. It is not healthy adult behavior for any adult to suggest to a child or make a suggestion to a parent that a child is required to disobey parental guidance - there are no excuses for this and that is called an adult playing children against their loving parent.

Best antidote: Don't care what anybody thinks about you and tell them and any human being that chooses to react to them - all over you - to get over themselves and get a life and be very stern about it. Code word BACK OFF and that includes any individual doing this to you. The enlisted will be explained to by the unloving individual that you are who they are - if they listen it's their funeral. The enlisted reactors behavior is just as nasty as the person telling all the lies trust me I've dealt with them and many of them have been educated professionals - at least that is what they call themselves. What they are truthfully doing is helping someone stalk your life if that someone is your spouse you'd better ask him or her what exactly they conclude a loving relationship to be - what do they want, if they say love and all you see is bullying then they want their cake and eat it too. Same with the person who helps anyone get hurt ....If you show compassion towards people who are helping anyone hurt you you are toast because they have chosen to be under the influence per say - it's an addiction to power so might as well call it how it is.

Have you dealt with a person who has used professionals to get attention? In reality they are more like individuals who are professionals only at being attracted to personalities that choose to live in sin. Since the person targeting chooses their reactors very carefully it proves the reactors are doing nothing but mirroring the behavior of the person who is targeting you. Both hate truth and both are obsessed/addicted to what they think is power...both are adrenaline junkies and both are attempting to do damage to your life...children are prime victims of people with this behavior.

Why do they target? Abandonment physically or abandonment via spoiling and no it isn't always both parents, may not have anything to do with parents, and there could be a host elements involved including community, chosen peers, etc. So, know-it-alls can add to the problem instantly. Especially when there is an obsession with getting negative attention - winning - drama - projection and depending on the circumstances monitary purposes that the person or organization does not rightfully deserve to obtain.

If you are dealing with an individual like this DO NOT adhere to believing that these individuals are looking for positive attention(want to be loved or trusted) they don't respond to love in fact, they hate love and are attempting to be worshiped altho they know what love looks like and are very good at faking it to get what they want. They don't respond to truth - they hate honesty. They spread hatred period and yes they are 100% aware of what they are doing to their target and will brag about it to their target. Nobody wants to know about this so-called npd, which is acually a person that gets away with sin, but it's a huge problem these days and if it is part of your problem via marriage or relation you will most likely have to deal with it because it won't go away. "...doing it because your're letting..." it's blame shifting, hey, people are not required to like getting hurt or take the blame for someone elses actions.

Answer 2

Yes, I do. It's a personality disorder where people are very narcissistic. They do not care about anyone but themselves and lose interest in things that have nothing to do with them. They are self centered, but when they are in "love" they know how to charm someone to go out with them, and then when the relationship gets to a certain point in which their ego is gratified and they no longer need the company, they leave or break up with the person. Narcissitic people will never realize that they have this disorder on their own, because they think they are such wonderful people. Usually the disorder occurs among people who are victims of abuse that causes low self esteem so the Narcissism is actually an overcompensation for low self esteem, and narcissists have a low opinion of themselves without knowing it.

Answer 3

I know something of it because I have someone in my life who has many of the symptoms. Please note that there are a lot of overlapping symptoms between this disorder and others like Borderline Personality Disorder and this is one that is often misdiagnosed. Do a search on Narcissistic+disorder and read. You'll find plenty to keep you busy. Good luck!

Answer 5

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), a term first used by Heinz Kohut in 1971[1], is a form of pathological narcissism acknowledged in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in 1980, in the edition known as DSM III-TR. Narcissistic Personality Disorder is characterized by extreme focus on oneself, and is a maladaptive, rigid, and persistent condition that may cause significant distress and functional impairment
[edit] Prevalence, age, and gender features
According to DSM IV, the prevalence of NPD is less than 1% of the general population, though it manifests itself in 2-16% of psychiatric outpatients. Studies have not demonstrated any ethnic, social, cultural, economic, genetic, or professional predilection to NPD[3].

Some Narcissistic traits are common and a normal developmental phase. When these traits are compounded by a failure of the interpersonal environment and continue into adulthood they may intensify to the point where NPD is diagnosed. The disorder occurs 50 to 75 percent more frequently in men than in women. It has been suggested that NPD may be exacerbated by the onset of aging and the physical, mental, and occupational restrictions it imposes[3].

[edit] Treatment and prognosis
Though there is controversy in the profession, some psychologists view narcissism as a relatively stable condition that tends to remain relatively unchanged over one’s lifetime. James F. Masterson's A Therapist's Guide to the Personality Disorders: The Masterson Approach outlines a prominent approach to healing Narcissistic Personality Disorders.

It is unusual for people suffering from narcissism to seek treatment for their condition. The individual with narcissistic personality disorder has fears of inadequacy and consequently has great difficulty perceiving that there is any reason to seek treatment. [9].

Persons with NPD often fear a repetition of a critical and rejecting response, rather than a flattering mirroring, if they open up to a therapist. Essentially, they imagine that the therapist would relate to them as their parents did. They are very likely to be disdainful and disparaging towards the notion of psychotherapy. [10]

Answer 6

I am sitting here alone tonight on New Year's Eve, because of believing in a npd and hoping beyond all hope things would change. They seem to love to screw up your holidays for some reason, you cannot count on them to follow thru with plans, they will pretend like you've done something wrong to them and to "punish you", your plans are out the window. I know, I've done this for 6 years exactly. (I met him on 1/1/2000, we've been married, divorced, "working things out" for far too long. They will use any excuse to get back into your life, mine has used "he found Jesus," and this past time, "I'm dying," Once they've wormed their way back into your life, they will jerk the rug out just to hurt you, preferably on a holiday and then make it your fault. One thing I read and think it's true, is you don't really have alot of fun when you're with them, and I am having a lot more peaceful New Year's Eve without him than I ever had with him, I don't know that I even want to understand anymore as much as I just want to away from all of this.

Answer 7

Everyone has it to one degree or another... it becomes an actual problem, when it makes OTHER people uncomfortable.

I can be rather narcissistic and so can most people given the chance.

Don't worry about it... It's better than being self loathing. Now THAT is annoying!

Compassion is highly over rated... and most people, if they were to be completely honest with themselves... don't do much of anything in line with empathy when they know no one is looking so...

Answer 8
