How Narcissists React When They Think You’re Too Strong.

Someone commented that in a photo of my ex narcissist, he didn't look so evil. A friend laughed and replied that if narcissists showed their monster side, no one would ever get in bed with them.

Narcissists have no idea who they are because they have worn a mask their whole life. They KNOW there is something wrong with them, something so bad they have to hide it, so they construct a “false self “ which they present to the public.

Narcissists have many secrets. And they hide them from everyone. No one gets to see their real self, especially in the beginning. If you are involved with one, you will eventually get glimpses at what lies beneath the mask but you won't believe it.

They tell you how loyal they are, having given up someone special because their best friend was in love with the same man or woman and they could never betray a friend.

What's the most valuable lesson you've learned in life, and how has it impacted your journey so far?

They flash devastating smiles, flirt with people who are usually ignored, talk to those who believe themselves to be uninteresting, compliment those with insecurities.

Narcissists can never be happy. They don't understand the importance of living an authentic life and they never will.

Unfortunately, these plans never happen. They stay on that sofa, talking about what color their Lamborghini is going to be, how many rooms their dream house will have and which celebrity they are going to sleep with.

In short, narcissists can read people. They quickly assess what you want or need in your life and like a chameleon, that is who they will become. But it isn't who they are and it never will be.

The secret to the universe (apologies to Douglas Adams) is based on three things: One, you are going to be happy if you know who you are. Two, if you know what you want in life and three, you do no harm to other people.
