What is narcissism?

I’m basically not got this out of my system and simply trying to understand how someone can be so ruthless and cold and distant like that the instant I start to question if it’s gonna work. He called yesterday and we talked but I cried about it’s ending and stupid me said I’ll be there if he needs me. Okay he said he needs to go bathroom and didn’t bother to call because I was crying . It feels horrid still why all of a sudden so cold and so distant. Had started making subtle comments to degrade me towards the end. He laughs a lot at other people. Puts them down Told a date he was going to the bathroom and never reurned saying she asked financial questions but it’s ok if he does that to me? Wtf

Oh, @anon80629714, please turn around and walk away. Don’t let him hurt you. You don’t deserve that. Change your phone number if you have to. You owe him nothing, so please save yourself.

He sounds a little toxic. My advice is maybe you shouldn’t talk to him any more.

Narcissists seem to be mostly men, and they also tend to have a 5’X5’ painting of themselves on their living room wall.

Narcissism is the pursuit of gratification from vanity or egotistic admiration of one’s own attributes.

loving yourself is okay. just make sure it’s for a good reason and that you remember others

Narcissists as they grown don’t learn much because they are to good for it.

They require control over everyone and worship.

You mean nothing to them because they are better than you, they are better than everyone.

You will serve them, and you will serve them happily.

If they can’t use you they might try and destroy you or excommunicate you.

They will harm others in ways that makes themselves look better.

Unhealthy self love common among us to a point. Thought to stem from traumatic abandonment. Kind of a defense mechanism to stop getting hurt again. Been dealing with mine for the last 2 months in therapy.

He’s a loser, you’re better off without him. You have now seen his true colors, don’t waste another thought on him. Just ask yourself, “Is this the type of person that I would see any future with?”

I’ve been told I am one and have the traits which isn’t really false I can get self absorbed. How do I pull myself out ?

Narcissism is being a mirror salesman and sampling your own product too much.
