Narcissism seems to be everywhere.
It dominates the entertainment industry, social media, and the realm of politics, and even workplaces and educational institutions can be hotbeds of narcissistic behavior.
While most of us already feel confident in defining narcissism as a personality trait, narcissism as a personality disorder is an entirely different beast. A little narcissistic inclination is good and healthy for most of us to exhibit now and then, but a person with a narcissistic personality disorder is singularly obsessed with establishing their own superiority, unable to respect the feelings of other people, and severely deficient in emotional empathy. Their narcissism becomes the lens through which they view the entire world, and it distorts their perceptions of reality.
If you've ever known a person with a narcissistic personality disorder, chances are you've been deeply impacted by the time you spent together. Knowing a narcissist and attempting to establish a fair, reciprocal relationship with them is an extraordinarily challenging experience; some might say it's a bit like trying to punch a hole through a cement wall with a bare fist. While you may have walked away seemingly unscathed or even remained in their orbit, finding a way to tolerate their less pleasant behavioral traits, you should certainly examine your mental landscape for emotional scars. Narcissistic abuse is often stealthy, slow-building, insidious, and overwhelming in scope. You can be a victim and not even know it for years and years.
This book will help you to gain a much deeper understanding of narcissistic personality disorder - the common traits that can be attributed to it, the typical cycles of narcissistic abuse, and the true motivations of narcissistic behaviors are all explained in depth here. Whether you are simply curious about narcissism, worry you may be a victim of the disorder, or suspect yourself to be a narcissist, you'll find the clarity here that you need in order to take your next steps forward.
