Those with NPD are children
And their Achilles heel
We don’t see the wounds. All we see are their behaviors.
But it’s important to keep in mind:
These people, like my ex, are essentially children. Emotionally immature and wounded children.
Narcissists are children, in the bodies of adults:
I watched a video today that focused on how those with NPD personality and mood disorders are mentally ill. (Although I have also recently learned in other video that they are not personality disorders, but that they are “maladaptive relationship strategies.”
This was helpful if you have a narcissist in your life or one that you are recovering from.
“They are pushing you to grow.”
They choose not to change. They won’t change. Their disorder is not thinking there is something wrong with them, and that they are smarter and better than others.
