There are tons of books and articles about narcissism, written by survivors. So why read mine? Because while all narcissists script from the same book and our stories sound similar, most survivors have only had to deal with one narcissist in their lives. Just one. I’ve dealt with at least four.
The purpose of this blog post is to bring about awareness that some of us, have had to deal with a number of Narcs. In this blog, I will tell of the two worst ones that entered my life. The other two, while their narcissism was obvious, it was also relatively mild so, I was able to escape with little to no damage, thanks in part to the experience and knowledge learned as a result from the other two.
This is important enough to talk about because while the horror of dealing with one, is more than many can deal with, two can lead to C-PTSD (complex) and is far less common. We are out there and it is about time we started speaking up and sharing our survival stories so that we can help one more person go from victim to survivor.
Disclaimer: before I jump in with my experiences, understand that names and other personally identifying information have been changed. Also note that in my case, none of the individuals I call Narcs, have been professionally diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD for short). So why then, am I calling them Narcs? Because like so many others, the experiences I have been through and the research I have done, on my own, lead me to strongly believe that these individuals genuinely have NPD along with other mental health issues. Sadly, like other Narcs, the diagnosis will never come because in order to be diagnosed with NPD, they must admit they have a problem. No narc I know of has ever willingly removed their mask and exposed their true selves like that.
So, like many others, this blog was born out of a need to do a bit of self-healing and a bit of sharing so that others who have suffered the same or similar fate, can begin their own healing process. I hope my journey can help others learn to break the cycle and finally be free.

Hi everyone I enjoy reading all of your article post. I wanted to write a little comment to support you. thank you
Normally I do not read article on blogs, but I would like to say that this write-up very forced me to try and do it! Your writing style has been amazed me. Thanks, very nice post.
Superb post but I was wanting to know if you could write a litte more on this topic? I’d be very grateful if you could elaborate a little bit further. Kudos!
Absolutely! I will be writing more in the near future. I took a break because sometimes life just gets in the way of things. But I am now back and I am focused on things. I truly do appreciate the compliments.
Fantastic items from you, man. I’ve have in mind your stuff previous to and you are simply extremely great. I really like what you have got here, certainly like what you are stating and the best way during which you say it. You make it enjoyable and you continue to care for to keep it sensible. I can’t wait to learn far more from you. This is actually a great site.
Wonderful blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Thanks a lot!
I deeply apologize for the late reply. My computer was down for a few months. I would highly recommend going through word press org and not .com as org is free where .com is not. I am just starting out myself. I just really love to write. Matter of fact, I just applied to go back to school in January. I am hoping I will be able to start college then. If so, I will be working towards obtaining my BS degree in English with my focus on non-fictional writing. My goal is to become a professional writer so that I can actually write a book about my experiences and get it published. Perhaps I can help others who are going through the same nightmare as I.
I would also like to write about things I enjoy doing, such as cooking and making things. I’m crafty and I have a love for teaching others how to do things. I also have my cosmetology license so if I can teach someone how to do their hair or their nails, I’m all for that as well. Best of luck to you!
