When Your "Perfect Partner" Goes Perfectly Wrong: Loving Or Leaving The Narcissist In Your Life

Do YOU have a narcissist in your life? Would you recognize one if there was? Do any of these "red flag" behaviors look like anyone you're involved with? 1. Egotistical and controlling. 2. Feels that rules don't apply to them. 3. Is NEVER happy - no matter what you do. 4. Feels more important or entitled than others. 5. Has no clue what empathy or compassion are. 6. May have started out "perfect" but changed drastically along the way. 7. Always blames others for anything that goes wrong. These are just a few of the characteristics often exhibited by those with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Whether your "partner" has NPD or just narcissistic traits, they can put you on a roller coaster ride that can play havoc with your emotional health and well-being. Anyone can be a malignant narcissist. They can be your spouse, business partner, friend, boss, or parent. The problem is that they can leave you filled with self-doubt, confusion, stress, anxiety, guilt, and depression ... and wondering how you got there in the first place. If you feeling responsible for all that's wrong in your relationship, if you're waiting for "someday" when things will be better, if you feel less-than-equal to your partner, if you feel like you're "walking on eggshells" around this person - then it's time you get the facts on NPD and stop taking blame and feeling lousy for a disorder that is not your own - a disorder rarely talked about and still frequently misunderstood, even by therapists.
