NO! it gets worse!
get away - STAY AWAY!!
Narcissist can be sadistic, it feeds their ego and gives them a sense of power to devalue and discard.
"What is a narcissistic injury?" Whatever you internalize from his/her conduct as your fault. As guilt tripping and projecting is apart of abuse and manipulation used by abusers to weaken your sense of self and resolve. If you understand he/she owns their own conduct and self destructive behavior and remove them from the realm of your feelings the injury belongs to them and not you. Best wishes Narcissistic injury is not what the narcissist does to you, but what they think you've done to them. Criticizing the narcissists causes HUGE narcissistic injury. Ignoring a narcissist causes them injury. Failing to see them as Gods...ect. Eventually everyone will cause a narcissistic injury to a narcissist and they will devalue you.
I don't think that narcissism is by any means a quality - that is for sure! People that are true narcissists do show some good and nice things in the beginning of a relationship and then show all their bad traits when they devalue and discard you. They giveth and they taketh away!
No. They will "put you on a shelf" and pull you off and on while they're looking for "something better". They won't fully let go until they find it.
Yes! Thing is they are tricky. They can devalue you behind your back. Mine even went as far as to try to devalue me to my own friends. Thing is they devalue you from the very beginning they just don't do it to your face they do it behind your back. Only when your in their trap do they start doing it to you. Yes absolutely! A narcissist will be wonderful for a short while at the beginning often mixed with some not so nice to set you reeling then accompany that again with a bit more nice just to keep you confused. no doubts you have been placed on a pedestal at some point, he put you there only to knock you off it, its all about the power to be able to do that and what do we do?
Devalue means to reduce the value.
They would probably become enraged that you confronted them and devalue you again. Maybe you could try disarming the devaluing so it has no power. If they say you have never amounted to anything in your life why start now? Say you know your right, but I will keep trying. If you trigger shame in them they will become mad. They cannot or will not face shame or anything that does not paint the picture they fanatsize about in their head about themselves.
Absolutely. They raise you up, and they raise you down! This then makes you entirely dependant on them, not only for your self-esteem but gradually making you feel like you cannot exist without them or their input in your life. Its all about controlling you.
Because of the economic situation, the government decided to devalue their currency.
Narcissists seek to destroy only people who threaten their inflated and grandiose self-image (False Self). When threatened with looming intimacy, they simply disappear from the scene or discard and devalue the person in their own minds.
No.
