My departed husband was a narcissist. His father was narcissistic as well, a verbally and physically abusive alcoholic. I believe that the narcissistic role model and abuse contributed to my husband's being a narcissist. I think that some narcissistic people were not abused but indulged, told that they were special and different...a sense of entitlement. My mother was also a narcissist, and her mother was non functioning so Mom was neglected, a different type of abuse. They rob your soul if you let them. Often people who are addicted to alcohol and/or drugs tend to be narcisstic. I attend Al-Anon and now have a joy and peace I never knew before, understanding this complicated personality, and how to not be involved for you cannot change another person. Learn why you are with such complicated people to begin with!

Can a narcissist become pathologically jealous of his mate and constantly believe he is being cheated on?

A narcissist doesn't feel jealousy, but rather doesn't like losing his prey. He likes control and wants his prey back to continue to abuse and demean his victim. Narcissists have no respect for women whatsoever!

What is bad about Satanism?

There is nothing bad about satanism. Society, movies, and the Christian church make up lies about what it really is, in order to keep everyone afraid. Satanism is about indulgence in man's most carnal, earthly desires and focus on life it self. They believe all of the "7 deadly sins" should be indulged in rather than abstaining from doing them.


If a Narcissist says one thing one day then keeps twisting the story do they believe their version every time they change it?

Since telling lies is a typical charactistic of Narcissism, lying is something they do like breathing is to you and me. It is part of their life but,it is part of the sickness, something they do even about the most insiginificant things. Whether they believe their lies or not, even when they conflict with previous tales, is not an issue at all for the narcissist. The narcissist only wants others to believe them. If you believe what you are told, the narcissist is happy and you are giving him/her the narcissistic supply needed. If you confront the narcissist with the lie, and don't believe it,you are removed from their world of "supply." They cut you off. They devalue you. They exclude you, or retaliate, or get revenge. But they do not care that you did not believe them with any feeling of REMORSE at all for lying. The lies are told to influence, or entice, or impress you in some way, or to worm out of something they do not want to admit to, to hide behind, or blame someone else. If the lie does notwork, don't think they even care if they believe the version of the story.They probably won't even remember it. They just move on. The narcissist has no concern abouttruth being important as you do. None. Truth is something they have no reverence for, nor do they feel thatto be honorable they mustbe truthful. They do not believe anyone tells the truth, rather they figure that everyone lies, (yes, even you)and so they have no honor for their own word. Lies are only words to themthat are said to sound good at the time...and truth is not an issue. They only care aboutYOUR reaction - whether it is belief/disbelief and that is what they are testing. Remember lying to a narcissistis onlyan instrument to judge you and see how worthy you are or can be to them...and it is onlyimportant to them because they need what supply you can provide by believing, trusting, or being impressed. Who knows? Why would you care what a narcissist is saying? You know that every time he opens his mouth it's a lie so if he says anything, what difference should it be? Yes they do and it's called "embellishing the story to get their peers attention" and making the story sound far more intriguing than it actually ever was so they can feel important within themselves. It's one of the traits of a narcissist. They lie so much and aren't really as bright as they would have you believe. They forget from one lie to the next what they said so who knows, and who cares. Nothing they say bad or good is worth listening to because its all trash of the worst kind. Here we go again labeling people without a professional assessment! One minute this person is a Narcissist yet it appears we're talking about a compulsive liar. Narcissistic traits are more about ego, not quite lying, but twisting the truth a little, and certainly a Narcissist has selfish behavior. Compulsive liars are well aware they are, lie because they have no ego and no confidence in their demeanor (unlike the Narcissist). unfortunately nottoo many victims of Narcissists have the luxury of having a formal diagnoses made. But one thing is for sure, though not every liar is a narcisssit, you can bet every narcissist lies.


How would a narcissist feel at being discarded with no explanation and then ignored from a person he did this to repeatedly?

My narcissist or rather ex-narcissist could not stand it. He called repeatedly. I ignored his calls. He finally showed up at my office and said he felt "teary-eyed." Only a narcissist would SAY he felt teary-eyed wherein most men try to hide their tears. I finally agreed to listen to more lies of how he missed me and needed me (even though he has since moved in with another woman). I actually started to believe in him again. For about a day. Then I heard he'd told people he wanted to be advised if my co-worker ever got divorced because he is interested in her. The lies never stop! And they get worse as they get older. Now I'm back to not answering his calls again.

How do abused dogs behave?

it depends on the dog and how much it has been abused... a dog that has only lived to be treated badly may be meek and shy, or it may be rather vicious or wildly unpredictable. Some abused animals have been known to attack humans or other animals. If a dog has been bullied its whole life it may react badly to humans until it is shown the respect it deserves

Medicines Are they harmful or not?

Does a narcissist have any idea what it means when someone tells them they love them?

NONE. It's just words. GET AWAY FROM THEM ASAP! It is possible that a narcissist may comprehend the idea of love (as they love themselves), but whether or not they translate other people's love for them may depend on the person. For example, some narcissists may understand another person's love for them but rather than fully appreciate it, see it as something they "deserve".
