@johndelony: Instead trying to self-diagnose the people in your life, look in the mirror and ask yourself: "What kind of life am I willing to tolerate?" "What do I need in my home to feel safe?" Delony #narcissist #narcissism #MentalHealth

userpeepeepoopoo69420 :

Well this isnt really correct tbh. There are quite a few different versions of narcissism that exist that dont fall into this description

Bobby :

Soooo Trump

Jon Pacific :

What do I need in my United States to feel safe?🤔

Alyssan al-Gaib :

Here I was, thinking Kelly was blonde this entire time

nope :

I’ll never date again. Too many on this earth! I’m at peace!

Mary Wright :

Exactly, which is why I walked away and never looked back

Tanama333 (Ta-nah-ma) 🦋 :

I finally asked myself that same question, and I made the decision to leave after almost twenty years of marriage.

sallyvirginia51 :

Yep. For the first time someone making sense! Thanks for this.

tommy :

I’m confused on what is wrong with feeling special or important? How exactly is that narcissism? I don’t believe I am more important than anyone else, but I also believe that when I die, a part of the world will die to. Is that narcissism? Or do I just have self love?

K :

it matters to an extent. understanding their behavior and thought process helped me to get to a place where I can not be affected by that type of behavior from my mom so that I could still be around her at family events. it allows me to notice that behavior early on so that I don't get stuck in another abusive relationship. it definitely matters because if you're not aware of what it looks like it can be so easy to get swept up into it and then be stuck.

Creative Geek Design :

It does help to recognize it though because there are very specific characteristics and things that will never change. It helps to know they will not change. Especially when there are children involved. Thats not putting someone else in the drivers seat….thats just understanding what you are dealing with so you can change your actions accordingly

Rambo :

It matters for boundaries and how to enforce them for yourself. Also just get a dog.

Coco :

My ex bf and its not worth it at all.

MindLedger :

This is a better frame. Instead of trying to diagnose someone, the real question is what patterns you keep accepting.

Sparksx :

It does matter

Moshimama :

Best answer ever .., it doesn’t matter just walk away and live your life , grief what you wasted and grief the hope and potential for few weeks then get up and build your life and don’t look back 👏👏👏💪

Heather Lynn :

I love this take. Even not talking about narcissism we all need to remember to focus on what we can control.

knot your average knit wit :

Radical acceptance of who they are and then deciding how you want to show up in the relationship. (Which can be used in any relationship.)

Brad :

Is narcissistic behaviour a symptom of unhealed childhood trauma?

Jeremy :

Spot on!!

MrSchwab :

Yes! Why focus on the narcissist? Isn’t that what they want? Focus on yourself

Donna's Striving :

Love this Dr Johnnnnn

Karma03 :

Covert narcissist is not grandiose it is important to know all types so some can recognize red flags before getting into a relationship with one .. and time never marry fast

Rachel Parrish :

It is overused & knowledge is important. Also, it DOES matter when you are in an abusive relationship or family. Understanding the source & getting the validation you aren’t crazy or the cause of the abuse is often the only way out.
