What it would mean 'highly motivated' in this case?

Back and forth behaviors occur in attempt to gain something- a profit, person’s interest, forgiveness...if the goal is not achieved there comes punishment in various forms- silent treatment, revenge, mockery etc. This however is common also for borderline people, so careful there

My mother is a narcissist n she is destroying everything

You make me remember Donald Trump 😂

Excellent read and so pertinent in this time of skewed POV

🤯

Ego-centric people can be difficult to deal with. They often need to be confronted on their behaviors and this is difficult for the average person to pull off. Psychotherapy does help.

Amazing insight; spot on!

We all distort reality and justify our behaviours.

In addition, a narcissist skillfully uses the right to self-defense to justify their aggression towards others through victim mentality.

This is a very interesting article, but in my recent studies and research I think that someone with Aphantasia may come across as narcissistic (or could be) Having difficulty in viewing others perspective & not able to see/understand own behaviour being two key points I observed.

realDonaldTrump some light reading. No reason

Define narcissism, would you?

Lack of empathy is what they truly lack. That and I also believe people toss the term narcissist around very loosely. It’s a blanket statement to make to someone or about someone. Especially, since 99% of aren’t psychologists or professionals who can accurately diagnose anyone

👍🏻

The main problem of narcissists is a vulnerable ego. Narcissists often lie, due to the inability of introspection. An introspection for them involves painful results, which they will never want to admit.
