High Level Classic Narcissists Demean Yo...

Linda Martinez-Lewi, Ph.D., LMFT
About this episode

Classic narcissists, larger than life, bombastic, charismatic to some, sail through their days in the fast lane---always moving to their next cascade of narcissistic supply. If they are very successful they have more opportunities to be adored, praised and rewarded handsomely in this current world of rampant pathological narcissism.  Those at the top of their games don't do the hardest work. They have adoring followers, psychologically dependent individuals, hangers on, at their beck and call.

If you have narcissists in your family, you are too keenly aware of how they demean you and/or ignore you or bith. If you are having a difficult time, they completely ignore what you are saying or they wonder what is the matter with you that you have caused such trouble for yourself. 

Narcissists are peripatetic---They always have their engines running. They go from one project to the next, one trip to the next, one aquisition to the next, one full makeover to the next, one partner to the next, etc. 

They get a kick out of running circles around you. They don't care about you one whit. They jauntily move along to constantly brag about themselves. 

On some occasions the narcissist wonders out loud about what is wrong with you that you can't overcome your problems. After all, they did!

At a point of awakening you recognize that you are an adult in the process of healing and restoration from the classic high level narcissist. 

You are entitled to practice self care each day. Rest, sleep, self love, Nature in all of its beauty, the gift of music. Do the work of healing every day. You deserve deep inner peace and the fulfillment of your many unique creative gifts.
