Understand that only YOU are aware of what's happening. No matter how hard you try, there's no breaking through. Just accept & move on to your better self. I saw this thing, here, found it again for pic posting... sums it up nicely....I never thought about narcissistic behavior in that way. There are two people where I work that everyone thinks are narcissistic. These traits describe them to a T.
Having an exaggerated sense of self-importance
Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
Exaggerating your achievements and talents
Being preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
Believing that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people
Requiring constant admiration
Having a sense of entitlement
Expecting special favors and unquestioning compliance with your expectations
Taking advantage of others to get what you want
Having an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
Being envious of others and believing others envy you
Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner

I was wondering about that. How do you treat someone if they think that they are perfect and that nothing is wrong with them?
If someone is diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder they can be treated, but I've read that the problem is that most people with it don't realise that they have it.
Narcissistic personality disorder
A person with narcissistic personality disorder swings between seeing themselves as special and fearing they are worthless. They may act as if they have an inflated sense of their own importance and show an intense need for other people to look up to them.
Other symptoms include:
- exaggerating their own achievements and abilities
- thinking they are entitled to be treated better than other people
- exploiting other people for their own personal gain
- lacking empathy for other people's weaknesses
- looking down on people they feel are "beneath" them, while feeling deeply envious of people they see as being "above" them
Yeah... as soon as you lose your temper, you lose. I used to work with a few people who would provoke and provoke until they got a response. Then they would run around complaining about how they had been victimized. Of course, they neglected to mention that they repeatedly provoked the person in the first place.Yeppers! So many times I could have had indisputable proof... documents, recordings, video... or whatever, to prove I was 100% right.... only to be met by a temper tantrum.... which, of course, is supposed to lead ME into a fit of my own....
Ohhhh, yeahhh....
All my self-help books say that if a narcissist goes into treatment, it is for the purpose of fixing a problem they are having with someone else. In other words, they think the issue is the other person but really it is themselves. Whether therapy can help them or not depends on how severe their narcissism is. Someone on the lower end of the scale would be more likely to gain some self-awareness and make some changes.
to all.xxx It seems like quite a few of us have had similar experiences.
