3 things a self-aware narcissist cant imagine doing that a normal person can
When there’s so much dialogue around narcissism, you can’t help but wonder if you’re one, too. Who could answer that better than a self-aware narcissist?
Learning about narcissism isn’t only to enhance your knowledge about different mental illnesses – which isn’t bad. However, being aware of the antagonizing personality type can save you a lot of pain and suffering. We’ve already told you about things a narcissist says or does to their supplies to get what they want; they are incapable of doing some things that a normal human can.
3 things a narcissist couldn’t do
People who have the mental condition, NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder), are wired differently. They don’t see and perceive anything like a non-narcissistic person does.
Diagnosed narcissist, Jacob Skidmore Aka The Nameless Narcissist, discusses three ways to know for sure that you aren’t a narcissist.
Genuine emotions
Narcissists are infamous for lacking empathy among a lot of other emotions. Therefore, they don’t understand and experience happiness, pain, or sorrow like you do. They are masters of mirroring.
They imitate others’ emotional reactions to fit into a particular situation and the mask slips once again when they are on their own. If you are one with your feelings and feel genuinely about them, you likely are not a narcissist.
Equality
Narcissists don’t see everyone as equal. They live in a delusion or an alternate reality where not everyone is seen as equally worthy.
“It’s inconceivable that two people can inherently have the same worth. For me, one person is better than the person below,” he says. People who believe everyone deserves to be respected as a basic right don’t have to worry about being a narcissist.
Self-love
It’s a huge misconception that narcissists love themselves, The Nameless Narcissist says. Even though people with the condition think they are “better than others”, which comes from a place of enlightenment, they are often self-critical.
As they are incapable of loving themselves, there’s no self-compassion. “It’s just grandiosity,” he says.
Self-aware narcissist Jacob makes content around his condition and other mental disorders. He combines his personal experience with research to bring more awareness to NPD.
