Because you've made excuses for a while..... you've allowed yourself to be treated in ways you knew weren't right.... for too long. So.... that's why it looks like a bad movie. It's a pretty dramatic story line. I couldn't write fiction as strange as my life turned out to be. As for your apparent clear vision into you N's obvious disordered behavior? Well.... lets face it. You're looking. Other's aren't. They don't want to know and you're probably the one running around behaving a bit disordered and emotionally unbalanced, lol. Slow down. Take a step back. View the situation with some distance.... like you're very high up, looking down at yourself and your N. What do you see? What would be logical actions and where do you want to be? What advice would you give to someone in your situation. ME? My advice.... is to run. Go. FAST. NOW! Tremusan
AnswerAgain ... labeling a person a narcissist is simply arm-chair psychology and unless a professional has labeled this person then they may not be a narcissist at all, but could be depressed, abusive, or be a perfectionist, etc. The only thing that matters is the fact this person doesn't treat you well and whether this person is a narcissist or just a creep they hide their true selves well and others generally never see this side of them. It doesn't matter what other people see, you see it, so run! answerWell the last answer only exacerbates the victim's feelings of isolation.THIS is Narcissism FAQ. There is a disclaimer to deal with the issue of professional diagnoses. People come here to cuss and discuss who they believe to be a Narcissist. People who have been victimized. They want to know how to deal with the Narcissist in their life. Some FAQ questions are vague and have nothing specific to do with Narcissism. But this is not one of them. I don't see anything in this question that asks "Am I dealing with a Narcissist." The poster is asking for help and advice dealing with these bad feelings which come from being ABUSED.
There is NOTHING like being victimized by an N. Other disorders and conditions pale in comparison. Trouble is diagnoses or not, you don't really realize you are dealing with an N until you have been victimized by one. And it can happen more than once. Learn to recognize the signs and be careful. Whether or not he is a true N is beside the point. Somebody who mistreats you and display the behavior of an N should be avoided. If you have mislabeled him, it's no crime. After all, he earned it because of his behavior.
There is another FAQ section for abusive relationships that doesn't limit discussion to Narcissism. I think one who realizes he or she is dealing with a Narcissist would naturally gravitate to this section.
One thing worse than being abused is to be discredited by those from whom you seek advice and assistance. Immediately, your opinions and interpretations are labeled "invalid." I wonder how many people have been victimized who did not "think" the other was an N but were mislead and "thought" they were perfectionist or neurotic, etc... THIS is how the N gets by in life hurting and abusing others -- because there is always someone around giving him too much credit for being humane, which he is not. THERAPISTS are notorious for that.
AnswerI cannot add to the previous post as she summed it up perfectly. People here need support; they do not need to be invalidated, especially their perceptions and feelings. It's a VERY positive sign when someone can recognize another to be a Narcissist! That means they can heal. They have something to work with that takes blame from the victims, and then the true healing can start! AnswerAnswer_omitted_from_this_space_and_moved_to_the_Discussion_Page. AnswerThe funny thing is I recall feeling as though I were in the BEST movie of my life for the first three months. I've never experienced anything like it. Then yes, it turned into a nightmare. I don't think there is anyone other than the N's intimates who ever really know and understand the depths of their issues. My N's sisters and mother thought he was "a great guy," even though they knew he had "personality and temperament" challenges. They constantly minimized his behavior (they never knew the full extent of it anyway). Seeing him through their eyes was one of the primary ways I fell in love with him -- they were very rosy glasses. He knew this would happen which is why he ONLY had me spend time with his family. We literally NEVER spent time with his friends (and their wives). This should have been a much bigger red flag than I thought in the beginning. Yet, he spent time with my friends. It was only once I began to be more honest about what was happening "behind closed doors" with one of his sisters, that she finally said, "What would you advise a friend to do in this situation?" That was the only way she could suggest getting out without betraying her brother. Still, I don't think she every really knew or understood the depths of the nightmare I was experiencing.--- answer ---
Thank you very much whoever replied with "People here need support; they do not need to be invalidated, especially their perceptions and feelings." Let me tell you there is nothing worse than dealing with an N especially if you are competely blind to the fact he COULD be an N. or if some "expert" keeps telling you "nothing is wrong, he isn't an N, he hasn't been diagnosed!" It attitudes like this that cause a victim to feel they are in a bad movie and are the only ones. Please have some sympathy and support for those of us victimized by a narcissist.
Where is the downstream O2 sensor located for Toyota Echo 2000?
Right after the catalytic converter, only about a foot away from the upstream O2 sensor. If you must replace either O2 sensor, I strongly recommend using only genuine Denso sensors, you can get a compatible (solder in) on for as little as $35 (see Amazon for example). Other brands do not meet Toyota's extra sensitive requirements. For the downsteam O2 sensor, you can also install a spark non-fouler ahead of the O2 sensor to avoid "catalytic convert efficiency below threshold" error code that is quite common on this car when it has high miles.
Can you eliminate the catalytic converter on a 2004 impala?
NO. It is illegal, can cause low power and poor fuel economy as the computer tries to adjust for the improper readings from the O2 sensors.
How do you check for check engine light codes on 1984 Chevrolet Impala?
It requires a scanner to properly diagnosis a check engine light.
How to change oxygen sensor in 1991 Toyota Corolla?
It depends whether you have 4 cylunder or 6. If a 4, you have two O2 sensors. One in front by the manifold one on the back by the catalytic converter. the 6 cylinder has one more in front. You need to go to a shop and have them plug in a diagnostic reader to see which one is bad before you go and fix them. Usually diagnostic is around 40 dollars, the sensors anre around 100 each. usually one hout r labor.
Where is the oxygen sensor location on a 2000 VW Passat?
Late Model (Around 2000 or newer) VW Jettas and Passats have nearly identical exhaust systems. There are two oxygen sensors (aka 'O-2 Sensors), and both are located in the exhaust piping system.
Some places won't let you renew your license tags until I replace the sensors! The reason is pollution. O2 sensors are there to assure that there is plenty of oxygen mixed with the gasoline, so that efficient combustion can happen. If the combustion is oxygen-starved, your car ends up spewing unburnt gasoline fumes into the atmosphere - which is a lot worse than burnt gasoline fumes.
What You Will Need:
For starters, Oxygen sensors look quite a bit like a spark plug, and are changed in much the same way. For your Passat/Jetta, you will need the following tools:
* #10 Metric box-end, open-end, or socket-style wrenches
* #22 deep-well socket wrench (or maybe 23, heck a 7/8" worked for me)
* Groove-joint or slip-joint pliers (Channel-Lock 12" or 10" are great)
* 12" Crescent-style adjustable wrench
*If you are installing a "Universal" sensor, rather than an OEM sensor, it will have loose wires at the end, which you will need to splice yourself - so you'll want this stuff too:
* Wire cutters and strippers
* Volt-Ohm meter
* Electrical Tape
* Waterproof wire-splicers (the silicon-filled wirenuts are great)
A WORD ABOUT 'Universal' VS OEM sensors:
Universal sensors are indentical to OEM sensors (on the sensor end), and have loose wires on the connector-end. To use a universal part, you'll need to chop the connector off the old sensor, and splice it onto the new sensor, typically, its a piece of cake to match it all up.
Universal sensors are just as good as OEM, and they sell for about half of OEM price.
Getting Started:
Before buying parts, we've got to make sure we know exactly what we need. The 2002 Jetta had a 5-wire sensor on the front and a 4-wire on the back.
jack up your car - crawl under there and look at those sensors. The back one is basically right smack in the middle of the car on the bottom. Scoot back till your head is under the catalytic converter (bulgey thing in the exhaust pipe, probably has a metal grille around it). Right there behind it, you'll see your rear o2 sensor poking out of the pipe's side. Wires run from that sensor past the catalytic converter into a small black plastic box, where they meet the wires from the front sensor, or your car's "computer brain", also called the ECM.
While you're down there, grab that metric-10 wrench and take that plastic cover off. You'll see a reddish connector for the rear sensor and a black connector for the front. Take a moment and count how many wires come out of the two connectors.
In my case, it was front= 5-wire, rear = 4-wire. I used a universal, and it's wires were color-coded exactly the same as my original part. Had the colors been different, the universal sensor also had a matchup chart
I ordered mine online and payed only about $150 for both.
Change out the rear sensor first - unhook the rear sensor wire. Then take your crescent-wrench and twist that sensor out of the pipe. It will probably take some mild pressure, or even light tapping on the wrench to break it loose.
If your new rear sensor is Univ - go make your splices in a more comfortable spot. If you bought rear-OEM, just screw in the new sensor, plug it up, and stuff the wires back into their little clips.
Ok front sensor time - this one is a little harder, because there's a lot less room to work. It's located under the hood, on the back side of the motor, very close to the firewall. Your local auto parts retailer might be able to rent you a specialty tool for changing this sensor, but beware - in many cases the rental price is within a few bucks of buying the tool to keep for yourself and your car.
I ended up using a very stout handheld cutting plier to chop the old sensor in half, trying to make the cut as near to the bottom of the sensor as possible - ratcheting-out the remains of the old sensor, spinning in the new one, and routing those wires back to our friend the black plastic box. Once those wires we're tucked and Mr Black Box remounted.
Where is the 02 sensor located on 2008 Chevy trucks?
That year has 4 of them and 2 of them will be up close to the engine where the exhaust pipes bolt to the exhaust manifolds and the other 2 will be back towards the muffler. They are about 3 to 4 inches long with an electric wire coming from them.
Where is bank 1 sensor located on 1997 Ford Explorer?
Bank 1 is the passenger side of the engine in your 1997 Ford Explorer ( V6 engines and V8 engine )
Sensor 1 is before ( upstream ) the exhaust enters the catalytic converter
Sensor 2 is after ( downstream ) the exhaust leaves the catalytic converter
Where is o2 sensor on a 98 Chrysler town and country?
There are two, one on each side of the catalytic converter on the back of the engine.
What is knock sensor 1 circuit malfunction bank 1 or 1 sensor mean?
knock sensor is a very sensitive small microphone usually on the engine block or sum times on the cylinder head , it listens for any pre detonation going on in your engine . pre detonation is nasty early combustion you dont want, if you get pre det it causes a pre knock sound which the knock sensor microphone detects.
your probly not getting pre detonation but thats what the sensor does 8)
"sensor 1 circuit" means the ecu has detected it cannot make connection to the sensor, the sensor could be dead or you could have a wiring issue to the sensor IE chaffed wire, bad connection at the plug ect.

Code for PO137 Bank 1 sensor 2 Where is this sensor located?
The sensor is left bank 1/1 is ft and 1/2 is the rear
NEW ANSWER: Bank 1 is the drivers side of the engine. Sensor 2 will be the second sensor in the exhaust pipe on that side of the engine. Start were the exhaust pipe bolts to the engine and work your way down the pipe until you see the second sensor and that will be the 1 you need.
Where is the map sensor locate on a Bonneville?
How do you fix the speedometer on a 1991 Nissan Maxima?
Where are the oxygen sensors located at on a 1999 3.8 Pontiac Firebird?
There is one is each exhaust manifold, and one before and after convertor. The convertor can be seen if you lay on the ground and look under pass side of car. Follow that towards the front of car and you will see a pipe that makes a "y". The "Y" leads to manifolds on the drivers and pass side of car. In there you will find the sensor.
How do you reflash the computer after installing a catalytic converter on a 2003 Toyota corolla?
You really shouldn't have to reflash it. Reflashing is a process that basically erases everything on the computer, and then reprograms it. In order to reset the "Service Engine" light, you should be able to disconnect the negative side of the battery for 15-20 minutes and then reconnect it.
Where is the O2 sensor on a Ford Explorer and can a backyard mechanic replace it?
There are 4 total oxygen sensors on a ford explorer. Two of them being before the catalytic (Pre-cat, closest to the front of the vehicle), and the other 2, after the catalytic (post-cat). You have to first figure out which bank the bad reading is coming from, then you have to determine if its post-cat, or pre-cat, most autoparts store will be able to tell you if your "CHECK ENGINE" light is on. ?ake sure when purchasing an oxygen sensor for your explorer, that it is HEATED, otherwise nothing will match up underneath. There are 2 sensors between the converters and the manifold. Also, between the catalytic and the muffler. Hope I could help!
Is the bank 1 sensor 1 o2 sensor on a 97 Chrysler lhs upstream or down stream?
Bank one is the same side as cylinder number one. Sensor one is upstream or before the catalytic converter.
Where is the oxygen sensor bank1 sensor 3 on a 1999 chevy s-10?
That would be the O2 sensor after the catalytic converter.
Where is the oxygen sensor located on a 1998 Pontiac Sunfire?
The upstream O2 sensor is mounted in the ehxaust manifold The downstream O2 sensor is mounted in the exhaust pipe after the catalytic converter
Can you change the o2 sensor on a venture yourself or is it too hard to get to the exhaust manifold?
if you can replace it yourself but do it right look on the web for info vids
On a 1997 ford explorerWhich oxygen sensor is bank 1?
Bank 1 is the passenger side of the engine
Sensor 1 is near the engine before the exhaust enters the catalytic converter
Sensor 2 is after the exhaust leaves the catalytic converter
