11 Simple Ways to Deal with a Narcissistic Boss #howto #diy #Narcissistic

She's said exactly what I've been thinking for decades! The Giving Tree is a horrible story that makes #narcissistic relationships sound like a good thing.

#Trump #motion re #TrialDate (besides an obvious #DelayTactic) is purportedly in consideration of his #campaign schedule (not a reason for delay - most people have day jobs).

The motion to sever the case from #CoDefendants probably a #narcissistic #PowerMove (his terms).

WTF did I just read? No, being #suicidal is not #narcissistic nor #abusive. And comparing them to #drug #addiction is #uncalled for.

‘Only in #America…’ is a #narcissistic lie America sells a lie of social mobility to attract migrants and asylum seekers only to entrap most of them.

What's the deal with #Republicans believing they're better positioned to make #medical decisions for people than their own #doctor? I'm sick of these #narcissistic know-nothings thinking they are more knowledgeable, and have superior expertise than the actual relevant experts. And it's always to satisfy some perverse social desire. Tell your friends, and get ready vote these fascists out!

Most children who experience #narcissistic abuse at hands of a parent find ways to become well adjusted adults. Too many others go on to develop Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED). Still others become narcissistic and perpetuate the cycle to the next generation. It is time to tackle problem at source and get #familylaw changed to recognize that narcissistic abuse is real and serious.

I don't like to post things that are too personal on social media, but oh my, how awful is it to have a #narcissistic parent!

Watching #police #procedurals, I think that if somebody were a #narcissistic #nutjob it would be much more interesting to try and see just how much evidence you could leave and still not get caught/prosecuted than it would be trying to plan a #Perfect #Crime - Although now I say that; it does sound like what #Trump has been doing this last 50 years.

8 Ways a Covert #Narcissistic #Wife #Abuses her #Husband

First thought is that this requires a full length sun roof because the back seats are going to be a cave otherwise.

Second is that it's ironic dog lovers drive old #Volvo wagons because of the airy trunk. This is for dog haters.

Third, are we so #narcissistic as a society that we want cars with no rear windows so people don't spy on us? Other than vanity, where is the improvement?

Lastly, more irony in that Volvo has long been seen as the most human centred make...no more

#DavidEby is a #Horganized #manboy #groomed for years by #JohnHorgan - one of the #sleaziest people I've met in my life. Met this #corrupt #narcissistic #opportunist in 90s - #Reminding #BritishColumbia folks - he was a #CasinoLobbyist when I met him. Bribed via backroom #lobbying to shove slot machines & more casinos in places - when community stated they don't want them. Eby never added his #DaddyHorgan to his casino corruption #investigation & became #BCPremier in #kingmaking sleazy move.

If you really think that using the word "#narcissism" is #ableist, please watch this video:

To summarize (poorly), the #research is beginning to recognize that the #personality #disorders, as diagnoses, do those to whom they are applied more harm than good. Most #narcissists will never see a #therapist, and they'll never be #diagnosed with #NPD. The people who are diagnosed with NPD are #vulnerable, and it's possible they need a second opinion.

But the #ableism? It's calling from inside the house.

Because if you're still convinced that saying "#narcissistic" is ableist, then rather than shouting "ableist" at the top of your lungs to people who are #survivors (and in some cases present #victims) of people who engage in narcissistic #behaviors, are the most likely to take your words seriously. They are the most likely to experience worse #abuse as a result of your disempowering them and silencing them.

Instead of #silencing survivors, try to consider what words may be used instead of narcissism. It's not correct to say that "narcissistic abuse" is the same as #emotional abuse. Narcissistic abuse may be a form of emotional abuse, but its insidiousness goes far beyond what most people who experience emotional abuse ever experience.

A lot of people who think of "narcissism" as an ableist term will eagerly call its users ableist without offering any alternative words that will allow them to speak about their specific type of suffering. So let Dr. #Ramani do the work for you: Consider sharing the term "#antagonistic #relationship #style" or, in lieu of "narcissistic abuse," antagonistic #relational abuse, with those who you might otherwise re-#traumatize with your careless #social #justice #barbarism.

Because silencing the survivors of abuse, many of whom have #PTSD from living with narcissistic (or antagonistic) persons, is the real ableism.

Finally got around to finishing Watchmen (2019) series on HBO.

This exchange at the very end made me LOL

Anti-hero billionaire who also just saved the day: “So, I suppose the FBI is gonna arrest the president, too?

FBI Agent: “Sure. Why not?”

Narcissistic billionaire: “Because the world [dramatic pause] will end.”

FBI Agent: “People keep saying that, but it never seems to happen.”

#happy #Sunday - I gave a #confession. I binged my guilty pleasure - #MAFS #Austraila the #relationship #experiment after being out of the country for a week. While I’m not surprised about the number of apparent #narcissistic tendencies on display the REAL narcissist was a surprise. Find out more in my latest post: https://sherileturner.medium.com/unveiling-the-truth-married-at-first-sight-australias-narcissistic-lessons-that-will-leave-you-212295014e63

Asked for evidence from the pro-#narcissist crowd. A link, a source, anything. At this point, I'd even have taken a blog post as evidence.

One woman whose voice I actually enjoyed quote-retweets me to explain that "maybe I should listen to #NPD people instead of believing experts."

Well I have. For forty years, I've had to deal with #narcissistic #abuse. At this point, people with NPD are fucking terrifying to me.

She explains that maybe #narcissists would give me a source if I didn't come off as confrontational and rude.

OK? So I should just take the abuse then? Like, do you not realize that this is literally how I became trapped in not one but two #relationships with narcissists who chipped at my psyche until I had to rebuild my identity from scratch during intensive #therapy?

Nah. I'm not doing that. If not even one narcissist is capable of being #empathic to a #survivor of narcissistic abuse, then what the fuck are they even arguing? That we should be nice to #abusers? That's Megan #Phelps shit right there. #Entitled, narcissistic #behavior. Those of us who've #survived it see it for what it is.

And we don't have any reason to #tolerate it. In fact, we have every reason to cut a person off who behaves that way.

Every extraordinary claim requires extraordinary evidence. In its absence, at least have the #humility to recognize the #harm that your #disorder does to the people around you and talk to survivors who are justifiably terrified of you like they're people who deserve at least as much #empathy as you're asking for.

And if you can't do that, then you kind of proved how #dangerous you are, didn't you?

I think you did. It's why I'll block you.

#psychology #neverAgain

I came across another #narcissism-is-a-#neurotype person on #Twitter today.

Again, I asked for more information about where they got their beliefs. They tell me I'm wrong for literally quoting the psychological research on #narcissists. When I ask them for a source, any source, to defend their extraordinary claim, all they have to give me are insults and their rage.

And today, as I blocked another #abusive defender of narcissism, I re-read through the symptoms, and a thought occurred to me: if all the defenders of narcissism turn aggressive the moment you don't accept their beliefs as fact without evidence, could they be #narcissistic?

I know two of the people who've attempted to convince me (not with facts, just by shouting "#ableist" over and over) were definitely diagnosed with #NPD.

The more this happens, the more convinced I become of this, and the more opposed to the idea of narcissism-as-a-neurotype I become. Particularly because this is exactly the sort of #gaslighting bullshit my narcissistic #abusers have offered me.

At this point, it's literally #triggering my #trauma to hear these people out, which only seems to welcome abuse, and I'm concerned that I may be wrong but that I'll no longer be able to hear the data when it's finally (one day perhaps) offered because I'm afraid of the #abuse I'll get.

And that, knowing that the feeling that I may be wrong and bad for believing my own experiences as a #survivor of abuse is affecting me in such a negative way, makes me very mad at anyone who tries to stand up for people with NPD.

I have to put myself before narcissists. Especially because I know my tendency is to go at far as to hurt myself to avoid hurting others, even the worst behaved others.

I hate that.

But I really don't see another option. 😿

#physiology #PTSD

I don’t understand elders, who are far more immature and selfish than their grandkids, judging them for spending time on their phones, escaping the hellscape their elders did nothing to resolve, and often actively made worse. I don’t just not understand them, I don’t want to. #OkBoomer was a very #civil response to a very #Narcissistic bunch.

Morality isn’t in prudishness, people. 🕊️
