  • #narcissist #narcissisticmindgames There are many reasons that narcissists are inclined to abuse people and there are many explanations for their behavior. But there are NO excuses for those narcissists that choose to harm others rather than face their own problems.

    At this stage of my life, I've made myself so small, that their isn't much wrong that I can do. I'm basically on an island surrounded by bullies. I lock myself away in my room and try to make myself happy or comfortable as much as possible. One of relative's daughter punched out a window, no consequences for her, even from the police. I may have called someone a jack-ass when I was 10 years old, I'm late 30's now, still being held in mind for that. It seems like with narcissists the more good of a person you are, the smaller the box they put you.

    I made excuses for my narcissistic husband when we were first living together. He would come home, pissed off and angry, and he would blame me. After two years, I started fighting back and pointing out where his anger stems from: work, the bullies he had in school, and his narcissistic mother and enabling father. He still puts his parents on a pedestal, but I've stepped out of the fantasy world his whole family lives in.

      And while that is totally understandable, your behavior is still your responsibility. Even though we all have our limits as to what will push us over the edge, we are still accountable for what we do.

    I excused too much bad behavior based on my own self generated excuses for her, literally out of thin air. I never experienced a partner that increased production on the assembly line of bad behavior, incessantly. There was no ventilation in the factory and it was foggy in there.
    Thanks for the terrific breakdown and why Empaths have to take down the sign in front of their shop that reads: "We Buy All Excuses Here- Will Finance/ No Interest/ No Downpayment/ No Credit Check!"

    When I cannot leave a narcissist because of work in the same enterprise, I practice emotional detachment. This disengaging helps a lot and even allows the narcissist to look for someone else to abuse. The other victim needs to hear what you teach. Thank you for your in-depth descriptions of situations in which I have found myself suffering intensely and uselessly.

      Similar here in that it is close proximity in the form of apt. complex; (was a "situationship/friendship I thought, not sexual but could have been/become omg). Every month it gets a bit easier, but the pain of being emotionally abused out of the blue was so shocking, an amputation without anesthesia would have been less painful. Brought up all this abandonment and abuse stuff from childhood. Taking lots of work, but worth it. Everyone who is a victim of a narc, hold on there. If I am surviving, and doing better each month, you can too. Just put the work in; you are worth it, xo. Ooo, plus the lady behind the mirror, thank you very much.....

    Note: Your Finale was the most powerful and brilliantly expressed. You threw it right back at "US" - Our need to be held accountable and deal with it in whatever needs to be done. The inspiring thing, is that a person with your intelligence and present clarity was once caught up in the web of Narcissism too. It makes me feel better, I wasn't plainly naive, rube-ish or below average in intelligence ( a dumb bunny ). I felt that way, until I understood better what I was dealing with. Thanks!

    I never blamed myself. Her reasons for her behavior was so abstract and meaningless and irrational it was always an inner anger on her part, but of course, directed at me. Most times I was doing absolutely nothing. I got so good at never triggering her she had to pull some crazy reason out of thin air. It was just time for her to have a meltdown. It became a cycle where every six weeks she would have a, “tantrum.” If I was at her place I would just leave. Then she got smart and would choose places where I couldn’t do that, in car or on vacation. Then I was stuck dealing with it, where she could sadistically make me suffer, out of fear she might escalate. Finally after 8.5 years and four therapists. I left for good.

    I certainly understand where you are coming from. For the flaw in this video is that you assert that narcissists are adults. They are not. They are five year olds in adult bodies. You shouldn’t expect anything more from a narc than you would a five year old.

      They have the emotional maturity of a child, but it is extremely important to remember that they ARE grown adults. Little children are learning and are innocent. Narcissists are accountable for their choices and the people they hurt. They are not children. You have every right to expect an adult to act like an adult, and to impose consequences/boundaries on those who won’t.

    Have you heard of temperaments? There are the four temperaments:melancholic,phlegmatic,sanguine,choleric. When you digest food it turns into four humours: yellow bile, black bile,phlegm and blood. Whichever of those you have plethora of that's your temperament.
