    About this ebook

    In 1914, Sigmund Freud first introduced the idea of a narcissistic disorder, but that concept was not made official until approximately 50 years ago.

    Now, narcissism is a popular buzzword on social media, blogs, and online quizzes. But what is narcissism really about and how do you know if you're in a relationship with one?

    More importantly, if you discover that you are connected to a narcissist, what are the dangers, how do you protect yourself, and how do you escape?

    There is a vast difference between someone exhibiting narcissistic traits and someone afflicted with actual NPD or Narcissistic Personality Disorder. In addition, other disorders can seem similar to NPD. We'll show you what to look for so you can tell the difference.

    In Narcissism: Understanding Narcissistic Personality Disorder, we'll explore how one becomes a narcissist, and what happens to a person that suddenly robs them of empathy—a trait directly tied to our humanity.

    We'll uncover the different categories of narcissism, from the mild and generally harmless, to the extreme, malignant type—the one you especially want to keep a great distance from.
     

    This book can be especially helpful to those who are already in a relationship with a narcissist, because if you or someone you know is, it can be hard to determine what's real and what's been fabricated by moment after moment of devastating psychological and emotional abuse!

    We will also cover what to do and how to navigate the very tricky process of dealing with a narcissist long-term, for parents with ex-spouses, for adult children of narcissists, or those who have a narcissist in the family.

    How can you protect yourself or a loved one from falling victim to a narcissist? Narcissism: Understanding Narcissistic Personality Disorder can help you gain the knowledge necessary to survive the devastating results of narcissistic, emotional abuse. You'll learn what to look for in determining if someone is, in fact, a narcissist.

    You'll learn the devious ways a narcissist draws you in, before they turn around and systematically break you down, your ego, self-confidence and all, and most importantly, you'll learn how to escape the narcissist's power and begin the healing process towards a better life, utilizing tools and support to rebuild, relearn, and restore your strength, sanity, and sense of self.

    • Understand the difference between the various types and sub-types of narcissism, including which ones are the most dangerous.

    • Learn to recognize the red flags of an impending toxic relationship and how a narcissist will do anything to draw you into their web of lies.

    • Take a closer look at narcissistic families and the effects they have on children, as well as how children can cope with the abuse later in life.

    • Learn how to navigate an emotionally abusive relationship with your reality and your sanity intact, until you have the chance to escape from it.

    • Get an inside look at how a narcissist thinks and operates.

    • Understand the differences between a healthy relationship and a potentially toxic one.

    • Learn the differences between other personality disorders and narcissism, and how one can be grown out of while narcissism is usually permanent.

      Introduction

      Congratulations on downloading Narcissism: Understanding Narcissistic Personality Disorder and thank you for doing so.

      The following chapters will discuss the very real danger of getting close to a narcissist. Currently, narcissism is such a popular buzzword that it can be difficult to discern narcissistic traits from actual malignant narcissism. Almost everyone knows somebody who displays traits of arrogance, selfishness, and who loves to be in the spotlight — but how do you know if you’re actually face to face with a narcissist?

      We will discuss the various tactics and techniques the narcissist employs to keep their victims subdued and under control, and never really knowing what’s reality and what’s an illusion. Terms such as gaslighting, projection, misrepresentation and sweeping generalization, and freezing out will be discussed as well.

      We will cover the dynamics of a narcissistic family and how such a structure can be at its heart the most devastating environment for children to be raised in. It is important to know how to protect yourself and your loved ones should you find yourself in a tug of war with a narcissist — be it a family member, spouse, or parent. Once you recognize the signs of narcissism in the family dynamic, you can take steps to get yourself and your loved ones to safer shores and begin the healing process as well.

      This book will reveal to you the different types of narcissists and discuss theories about how narcissism might come to be in an individual. It will also detail emotional abuse and show the comparisons between a healthy relationship and a toxic one. It will break down the process of healing from emotional abuse, and what to expect when you’re trying to separate yourself from a narcissist’s tangled web.

      There are plenty of books on this subject on the market, thanks again for choosing this one! Every effort was made to ensure it is full
