Too Good to be True: Some Facts about Narcissistic Personality Disorder

 "When a narcissist lands in your life, you may believe you have met “the One.” Narcissists dazzle you with gifts, attention, and promises of undying love. Once in the security of a relationship, that dazzling image erodes and most of their less healthy traits become all too apparent. There are recognizable signs that you may be in a relationship with a person who has a narcissistic personality disorder."

Yep! "THE WORLD IS increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn't very good for the economy. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more? How do you sell an anti-aging moisturizer? You make someone worry about aging. How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about immigration. How do you get them to buy insurance? By making them worry about everything. How do you get them to have plastic surgery? By highlighting their physical flaws. How do you get them to watch a TV show? By making them worry about missing out. How do you get them to buy a new smartphone? By making them feel like they are being left behind.

To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act. To be happy with your own non-upgraded existence. To be comfortable with our messy, human selves, would not be good for business." Matt Haig

No, wanting to change is not enough. Me too. I don't know any narcissists who have healed, but I know many pretending to be healed, acting as if personality pretending to be good people but are wolves in sheep's clothing. You need a truly enlightened witness and the courage to face and feel your painful truths. Narcissists lack courage and are nothing but a bunch of cowards. They will never change. I have compassion for the children they once were,  but I have no compassion for the monsters adults they have become.
