And? that's their problem. I have my friends they know to accept how I am or I could care less about never seeing them again. I don't change what I don't see as a problem myself. If it's not my problem why should it be my concern? The things I don't like in my life I change but I'm not going to go around solving other people's problems.
I also didn't know that narcissists hurt others... I thought they were nonviolent.
Thanks for the link. And I wasn't raised around my dad at all.
yeah can we pm perhaps? Sorry op.

The problem with doing what you want without thought towards other people is that this leads to people generally not wanting to be around you. I guess if you don't much want to be around people that won't be a problem but for others a lack of sociability may lead to a less than fulfilling life.
As for pain see here: http://forums.psychcentral.com/narci...s-thought.html (It just really annoys me that the 'cure' for NPD is always about training the person to not hurt others rather than trying to help the person with NPD. Narcissists are people too.  )
There may be genetic parts to AsPD and most PD's. I understand it's something still up for debate.
But if a person is around someone with a certain disorder (especially as a child) I'd guess it increases the risk of that person developing that disorder. Learned habits and things as well as the possibility for abusive interactions.
Apologies to OP for the hijacking.
To answer that question (I actually really had to think about this lol)
I don't know who I am. I'm lost, confused and bounce way too much off others to be my own person. I am however willing to be who you want me to be if you will show me a little affection. (Disclaimer: removal of this affection may result in uncontrolled emotional lashing out which may in turn lead to emotional distress for yourself. Enter at own risk.) |
