How to Tell if YOU Are the Narcissist

Narcissistic Personality Disorder-Narcissism
Are YOU the Narcissist? How to Know For Sure. There are many thousands of reasons why being married to a narcissist just plain sucks. I can personally attest to that. The sheer number of abuse tactics used against you is enough to drive anyone to the very edge of insanity. And yet, once you're at that edge, the abuses just keep coming. One push, after another... just to see how long it takes before you topple over that edge. Narcissists are relentless that way. Here is a little irony for you… Even though my husband had approx. 77,348 different ways to annoy, enrage, confuse, devalue, manipulate, and objectify me- in the end, none of that is what made the narcissistic abuse experience so terrifying for me.

He had to travel to a nearby city for a week, in order to attend a training intensive for the job. but managed to to be late on his very first day, showing up unprepared, and without the company uniform.
