good people, normal people, usually self question and self blame and start to think that maybe they are the one who is narcissistic
sure, people who are victimised by narcissists might end up with psychological injuries but that's not the same as being narcissistic
here is a video by a therapist, that I watch regularly, to help us affirm that we are ok https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5X2Q2dunHU
you're ok ๐๐๐ love you all
Haha omg get out of my head Seagoon ๐ I often worry endlessly that I'm a narcissist, until my partner says "no, you're a traumatised only-child, who's worried about being a narcissist; narcissists don't worry that they're narcissists!"
Thank you for that video, adding to my "to watch" list!
Edit: okay holy shit! My ex is/was 100% a narcissist good fkn loooord
I've never worried whether I'm a narcissist. Does that mean I'm a narcissist?
Oh wait, now I'm worrying whether I'm a narcissist! But does that mean I am or not?

Nah highly doubtful you're a narcissist, at least in terms of the DSM.
There are certain traits and delusions required for one to be a narcissist (NPD), and it is often caused by childhood trauma.
Don't take me too seriously, I sure don't!
(I like to hope that I'm not - but that was just be being cheeky/silly)
I worry that I'm so good at being a narcissist that I can't tell.
And Spud is right, it takes terrible repeated trauma as a child and total neglect of emotional well being as an infant. It's very tragic.
I will never forgive my mil for the cruelty she has inflicted on her kids and the rest of the fam.
All good I figured it was a joke don't worry!!
Love you too Seagoon
hugs to you too
That was an interesting watch. Thank you for that.
