Anonymous Coward User ID: 78693212 Romania 12/06/2022 03:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well this is true, I also worry about if I think I'm a nice person that maybe really I'm the narc and imagining the hurts by other people. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84886791 But yeah, moving too fast is a huge red flag. And don't forget how they treat others such as clerks and waitresses and cashiers and flight attendants. Or if their children are willing to talk to them. I think if their children have cut them out of their life, that's another red flag. And speaking hatefully about their exes, still harboring anger even years later. Unless the ex was the NARC this |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78956429 United States 12/06/2022 03:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wow, this thread has me wondering if I'm a weirdo. I have done phone/internet business several times with a small business in a neighboring state. All of the staff (6 people) has been really nice and really helpful, so it occurred to me that it might be nice to surprise them with a box of small presents for them. I've never done anything like that for any other business, and I was thinking that nobody had probably ever done that for them, either. My goal was just to totally surprise them and make them smile, as a thank you for them helping me. Now you've all got me wondering if I'm some sort of narcissistic weirdo and whether I'm doing some sort of bad thing. I didn't think I was a weirdo, I thought I was just being genuinely nice and thoughtful. Something else I'm now wondering: are threads like this actually part of the larger ongoing attack on society that is meant to dissolve/destroy societal bonds? It seems like the main thrust of this thread is to get people to be hesitant about doing nice things for other people, and to be extremely suspicious/uncooperative toward people who are nice to you. Yes, that defensive strategy seems reasonable if we're solely focused on playing defense, but if we look at the bigger picture of building/maintaining society, we see that it is also quite pernicious and deleterious. I wish I had great words of wisdom regarding these issues, but I don't. |

User ID: 82737365 United States 12/06/2022 03:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You realize, narcissists often dwell on other people's narcissism and call out other people in public forums to try to divert attention from their behavior. Subtly trying out ways to build that defense that malignant narcissists need to ply their craft. Basically, they use statements on forums like this one to probe the psyche defenses of victim archetypes. In short, the OP may very well be a narcissist. You got one, Op! Doom is not dead. |

I wish I had great words of wisdom regarding these issues, but I don't. I think you are on the right track. I don't think giving small gifts in the situation you describe is bad. There is a spiritual attack going on. It's on every level. Understanding Narcissism is a way to get a handle on the spiritual attack. They want us to lose faith in each other. Being smart and having faith in select people is a profound act of rebellion. Most importantly is "if you accuse you lose". The accuser is satan. Whoever accuses is playing Satan's game. That's why it seems everyone on this thread is narcissistic. Whoever said the answer is God I think what he means is you have to hold a generous and faithful frame and things will work in your favor. Narcissists exist to teach us discernment of who to trust and who not to. That's why Satan exists as an antagonist who catfises us and exposes our weaknesses. |

Unsolicited favors - “I can cut your hair for free” “I’ll feed your dog for you while you’re on vacation” when you didn’t ask. There are at least 7 red flag behaviors to watch out for when you meet someone new but I’m blanking on the rest. I’ll come back when my brain wakes up… if ever lol Great examples Something I've noticed, is that they didn't play GROUP or team sports as kids. Individual competitors. So ask about school days when you get talking to them. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81071520 It' never their fault and they can't conceive of taking responsibility for their own actions. The narc will do a 180 on you and turn into a victim in a milisecond.

I wish I had great words of wisdom regarding these issues, but I don't. Nope. If you are a nice generous person, then you be you. If you are an abusive person that hurts others and needs to step on others, always comparing and have a spirit of competition, then get counseling. Generous people are sometimes just that, the problem is not nice people. The problem comes from nice people being walked on and then expected to be nice again in return. Don't avoid being generous, you be you. Have joy in your generosity. Avoid people that demand your generosity and then proclaim you don't do things out of love. That person is projecting and it's not your problem they can't comprehend doing for others out of joy, they resent you for your joy. |

All true These people are nuts with a soul sickness Literally wanting to be or become their victim It’s straight from hell I know one who confided that he expected a new girlfriend to ″pluck him out of his miserable life and hand him their life″. He saw this successful artist at a pensione he stayed at in Japan, didn't think she was ″anything special″ at first (except noticed that she was drawing). He chatted her up, googled her...found out that she was very successful..... and moved in for the kill. He was very resentful that all her ability and the attention she generated didn't automatically transfer to him. He even admitted he didn't like her work enough to buy one of her drawings. (Doubtless would have told her this, as well). Although he was OK to look at, he exuded UGLY from every pore of his being. |
