The best way to avoid a narcissist is to pay attention to the warning signs. A narcissist is someone self-centered and selfish. He is someone who admires himself and generally believes that people are bad.
Narcissists are also very concerned with how others perceive them. Having self-esteem or self-esteem is healthy. However, when it is taken to the extreme, such as when someone is completely self-absorbed, it becomes a problem.
People who have studied this behavior found that most narcissists have experienced a traumatic event at some point in their lives, usually in childhood. The way the narcissist dealt with trauma was to create a different person or adopt a different personality. Some narcissists can change their identities to suit a certain situation.
A woman with a bad marriage described her husband’s personality as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The husband was extremely abusive, both physically and emotionally. The husband had high expectations and if the wife did not comply with his demand, he would beat her. However, when family or friends came, the narcissistic husband acted like the marriage was great and no one knew about the abuse. In fact, they adored the husband and thought he was a wonderful person.
When someone lives with a narcissist, they know how difficult it is to predict the narcissist’s behavior. What generally triggers a narcissist’s anger is a loss of control. Once a narcissist feels like they have lost control, they take out their anger at those they supposedly love. The narcissist can be extremely nice and caring and seconds later mean and angry.
In the business world, narcissism is a person who does well at work, seems like a kind, loving person but does not really care about others. A narcissist will pretend to be your friend, but they have an ulterior motive. Maybe you have money and he wants to keep you close for your money. Or maybe you have a valuable skill that the narcissist can use. Once the narcissist gets what he wants from you, the relationship ends.
When you think about the people who have come and gone in your life, it is very likely that you have come into contact with a narcissist. The important thing is to be able to determine who has a narcissistic personality in order to avoid these people.
Narcissists don’t like confident people. They tend to prey on vulnerable people and succumb to the common tactics they use. Shy people who are afraid to speak their minds are a perfect target for a narcissist. Ask a narcissist personal questions, and if you avoid them, it is a sign of narcissistic behavior. As a result, the narcissist will not be attracted to you because he does not like to answer personal questions.
When you exude self-confidence, you won’t be on the narcissist’s radar. When you are comfortable with yourself and are frank, you will not be a target. If you are successful, never apologize for it. If someone is not comfortable with your success, that is a problem. Someone who really cares about you will be happy for your success.
