Don T You Know Who I Am

Ramani S. Durvasula Ph.D Post Hill Press

“Don’t You Know Who I Am?” has become the mantra of the famous and infamous, the entitled and the insecure. It’s the tagline of the modern narcissist. Health and wellness campaigns preach avoidance of unhealthy foods, sedentary lifestyles, tobacco, drugs, and alcohol, but rarely preach avoidance of unhealthy, difficult or toxic people. Yet the health benefits of removing toxic people from your life may have far greater benefits to both physical and psychological health. We need to learn to be better gatekeepers for our minds, bodies, and souls. Narcissism, entitlement, and incivility have become the new world order, and we are all in trouble. They are not only normalized but also increasingly incentivized. They are manifestations of pathological insecurity—insecurities that are experienced at both the individual and societal level. The paradox is that we value these patterns. We venerate them through social media, mainstream media, and consumerism, and they are endemic in political, corporate, academic, and media leaders. There are few lives untouched by narcissists. These relationships infect those who are in them with self-doubt, despair, confusion, anxiety, depression, and the chronic feeling of being “not enough,” all of which make it so difficult to step away and set boundaries. The illusion of hope and the fantasy of redemption can result in years of second chances, and despondency when change never comes. It’s time for a wake-up call. It’s time to stem the tide of narcissism, entitlement, and antagonism, and take our lives back.

Don't become the one thing you hate the most... "You could've done better. Why can't you be more like your sibling?" "Stop overreacting. You're always so sensitive." "Why are you always so angry with me? We need to get you help." "This is for your own good." These are all common phrases you may hear from your mother. Guess what? She is likely to be a narcissist. If it's hard for you to come to terms with this fact, there's absolutely no shame in that. We all love our parents unconditionally, no matter how toxic they may be to our well-being. It's a love-hate relationship. You want to love her because she raised you and is a part of your family, but at the same time, you hate her because she makes you feel worthless, like whatever you do is never enough. Because you've been in this relationship for as long as you can remember, it's hard to break away from everything you've ever known. But that shouldn't stop you. According to Psychology Today, narcissistic abuse throughout childhood can have serious side effects on the individual, causing: The feeling of never being good enough and need for others' approval Blurred boundary lines when it comes to what an appropriate relationship actually means Codependency The inability to trust Stunted emotional development And these are only a few of the most important aspects to point out.

If your mother's behavior and your childhood upbringing are sensitive subjects for you, there's no need to hide it anymore. There are thousands of people in this world who know exactly what you're going through, you're not alone. Rather than keeping the grief to yourself, which can cause you to grow up loathing the person you are, it's time to discover all the potential awaiting you on the other side of recovery. You don't want to become the thing you hate the most, so now is the time to turn your life around and wave your past self good-bye before he or she decides to stick around forever. Recovery isn't a hoax, it's a reality for anyone willing to achieve it.

The Covert Narcissist

Theresa J. Covert GD Publishing Limited

Still struggling from the effects of a narcissistic or psychopathically abusive relationship? Many people do and sadly there is very little information available to be found online or in the written research, or with counsellors and therapists that can help. Narcissistic Victim Syndrome is not officially recognised, nor is it widely even known. Even when it is accepted, recognised and known not many people seem to know what to DO ABOUT IT to heal it... The fact is being in a relationship with a narcissist over a long period of time has long lasting traumatic effects that can be extremely catastrophic to the person suffering them. DO THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS SOUND FAMILIAR? - Ruined self confidence - Doubting yourself and your sanity - Mood swings - Sleeplessness - Extreme weight loss or weight gain - Uncharacteristic jealousy/ insecurity - Feeling like you don't know the difference between right and wrong The list goes on.... Covert Narcissists dangle their vulnerability in front of you as bait, just waiting for your good nurturing mothering/fathering instincts to kick in and rescue the poor little lost child they are presenting to you. But beneath the mask of a shy, vulnerable and "good person" something far more sinister lurks. And this what makes covert narcissism so damaging and dangerous: the nature of the disorder is such that you are brainwashed into thinking you are dealing with a human being with a morality, perhaps even a "pillar of the community". OFT REPEATED MYTHS OF THE INTERNET ABOUT NARCISSISTS: You are Told Narcissists are always brash, loud, assertive, flashy and Confident. The problem is Coverts are quiet, insecure and passive. You are Told Narcissists will never apologise for things they do. The problem is Coverts can learn that a quick and TOTAL apology is a really slick way of getting their target to "go back to sleep" if it looks like they are waking up. WHAT YOU NEED NOW: - Someone who has been through the same experiences you have and understands them from the inside. -Someone who has the knowledge, training, education and experience working on himself and others to lead you through the emotional sh*tstorm that breaking with a narcissist can create.
