Readers,

We've all had unstable relationships in our lives, but what happens when this instability becomes plainly harmful or abusive? The following article examines 20 Signs or Symptoms of a Narcissistic Personality Used to Silence You:

These types of people often exude shape shifting, goalpost moving, and destructive expectations for their loved ones. Additionally, emotional degradation and name calling are not unusual. Often you will see circular reasoning, a casting of blame, and repetitive attacks on your interpersonal social circles affecting your sense of community, reputation, and selfhood. Despite your best efforts to meet these expectations, communicate your needs, or take accountability, these people will continue to find reason to be dissatisfied in their relationship with you. They will attempt to control and manipulate the actions, thoughts, and feelings of the other person. When this sense of control is lost, hypocritical tantrums are often the result. This is important because when abuse and threats are no longer verbal and become physical- we are putting ourselves at risk for grave consequences. This happens more often than you might think.

Please read the above article and share which situations you have experienced in your personal life. How did you react to this? Or- perhaps some of you are currently entangled in this type of relationship. How do you feel about what you read?

When the narcissist says that they “adore” you, it's for the same reason they'd flatter anyone: to get you to give them whatever it is that they want. 

Thought I'd share this

I agree with the title. A narcissist is really a psychopath in disguise, they pretend to be nice to you to bait you or get sympathy, but in reality they are envious of what you have and when you are happy, or get compliments from others, they do not like it.
