“I’m so glad I’m not one of those narcissists”-my narcissist father.
Surely soooo much better than them types ^^
”إنني لا أؤمن بعقائد اليهود، ولا عقائد كنيسة روما، ولا كنيسة الأرثودكس الشرقية، ولا عقائد المسلمين، ولا البروتستانت، ولا أي مؤسسة دينية! فعقلي هو كنيستي، فجميع الكنائس هي عبارة عن بدع بشرية أُنشأت وتأسست لإرهاب البشر واسترقاقهم، ولاحتكار السلطة وتحقيق المكاسب على حساب الانسان! إنني لا أهدف الى تدمير الدين السائد، إنما أهدف الى منع الفساد الناتج عن سيطرته باسم الدين، فاللاعقلانية التي تُمارس باسم الدين تقوض النظام الاجتماعي وتدمره. إنني أتصدى للخرافة الزائفة، واللاهوت الزائف، فهذه النظم الدينية المزيفة تفقدنا الأخلاق الانسانية! إن مدرساً واحداً جيد, أكثر فائدة من مائة كاهن.“ — ثوري و سياسي و مفكر أمريكي، توماس بين. — ThomasPaine.
“Anarchism is founded on the observation that since few men are wise enough to rule themselves, even fewer are wise enough to rule others” ― EdwardAbbey.
That’s Narcissism 101. 🤣🤣
Sounds like someone I knew who had three DUIs but said they don’t belong in AA or clinical treatment with ‘those alcoholics’. 🙄
Haha… it’s true. And they will do a good job at it….. and then after some time they FALL BACK into their KNOWN patterns. Just sit, and wait and observe…. Grab your 🍿
The signs are strong if you know what to look for. Their thought patterns turn for the worse and YOU’RE the one that’s in trouble
If Dr. Ramani says you are, believe it!
Widespread awareness of narcissism among the general population is a recent phenomenon. Obviously, narcissists will NEVER admit to having a negative personality trait. Back in my day, the narcissists I had the misfortune of dealing with were totally oblivious to the concept of narcissism.

Thanks for that. It’s beautiful ❤️

They are liars. They have no guilt. Even, by this way, they want to prolong anyone’s attention towards them. They NEVER change but also I NEVER forget.
The inner 5 year old of all adult Narcissists: I know you are, but what am I?
He who smelt it, dealt it.
Wow 😂 accurate.
If only it were only an inner 5 year old. Sadly, they are 5 year olds on the outside too
If you say something, they will be on their good behavior for a short time, till they think you are smood over, then back to the same old games of manipulation… NEVER CHANGING PATTERN…. round the same old mountain again with them…. Spot on Doc !!!
My ex would actually stop a behavior I would call him out on. But then some new behavior would show up in its place.
When narcissists are being nice to you it’s all an act.
And I think they can be nice to someone for years if they want to. But while they’re being nice to you they are still talking about you behind your your back. And, they’re being nice to you because someone else is their current scapegoat and they need you to be their ally. Narcissists love coming off as the victim of an enemy, and a sympathetic “friend” is a requirement.
Also, while they are being nice to your face they are setting you up. Sooner or later you’ll be the target. Sooner or later everybody is the target
It had been confirmed by a psychologist that my ex was a narcissist. They made the huge mistake of informing us together, in person.
His way of dealing with that was his normal way of dealing with anything he would learn I had been right about. He became angry and sought revenge on me for it. Even though I had never called him a narcissist I did call him out for his various covert behaviors through the years. So for him to learn that his behaviors were wrong by nature of him being a narcissist only made him furious at me. For me it just confirmed what I had strongly suspected and let me know there was no point in trying to continue in marriage with him.
My workplace narc was spreading rumours, taking credit for my work, while calling me lazy, dressing like me, my narc sister was doing the same in my family life…im nothing special why oh why are they trying to take my place? my sister has stolen photos i took of my late mother and is telling people that i am the crazy one and they were her pictures…bunny boilers
It reminds me of a friend who used to be a “queen bee” “mean girl” type. Everytime she was mean to another woman, she’d come to me saying “Am I horrible person?”, “Do you think I’m horrible person?” Kkkkkk I used to tell her, well, do you feel horrible about it? If you do. Stop doing these things. And she never stopped… she never cared, actually.
“Your mother is a narcissist and you should cut all ties with her” -my narcissistic ex that got offended when my mother was concerned for my physical and mental health.
🙄
A former friend of mine called me a narcissist after I set boundaries with him. On one hand, it hurt because he called me a bunch of other things as well including a few swear words, all because I had the audacity to set boundaries, but on the other hand, I thought to myself “he can think whatever he wants about me, I don’t have to prove anything to anyone.” I’m glad to know that if I actually was a narcissist, I wouldn’t have reacted the way I did.
“ القراءة جعلتني انساناً يعرف معنى الإنسانية، وتعلمت الحكمة من النبلاء في الكتب وتصبّرت بالصبر كلما قرأت عنه في كتب الفقهاء حررتني القراءة من وحشة الوحدة وصقلت بداخلي علوماً كنت أجهلها ، هذّبتني وعلمتني بعض الآداب التي كنت غافلا عنها لهذا الذي لا يقرأ جاهل حتى لو كان معلماً”. -❤️ حظية العمري
And this relates to the topic of the video how exactly?
كل ساعة تمر تحمل معها ستين دقيقة وتختفي، إلا ساعة حضورك. فهي ليست كغيرها؛ تحمل ستين حكاية وتتركها في قلبي بينما تمضين. لحظاتك تظل حاضرة في ذاكرتي، تترك أثرًا لا يمحى.
الإيمان بالأحلام والسعي وراءها هو الذي يحدد مستقبل الإنسان ويجعل المستحيل ممكنًا.
