I have been dealing with narcissists my whole life but I never knew they had a classification where I could understand them better. Before my learning of what a narcissist is, I thought the whole world was wrong. Basically because I was dealing with that much narcissism. Finally 20 years later after my first real traumatizing experience I am able to identify a narcissist from the rest of the world. I know what they do and want and I can have more control over my life. Still the things they did to me had me believing I was crazy, sick, delusional, weak and scared when I never felt that way. They work together to put pressure on your reality to make it seem like people are in control of your perspective not you. I find myself getting stressed whenever a narc wants to annoy me. I have made a great effort into changing my habits to not focus on them and to literally just be assertive and create a change. They know how to trigger people easily, but I know I have way more control than them. its not worth debating or pleasing them, they won’t appreciate either. I’m just glad I know what I am dealing with instead of having no faith in humanity.
