As a therapist, most of the clients I've seen with personality disorders are very broken and depressed folks. It's an incredibly lonely road and they are often very stuck in it and miserable. They know something is wrong but their defensiveness is so strong it's almost impossible to do talk therapy with them. Narcissism typically stems from severe emotional trauma so I hope people will see that it's often out of their control.
What about the scenario wherein you achieve something great in your life but you fall as away of nature's balance, you start climbing again but reach a step consideraably lower than your previous one and fall, again get up and climb up, only to fall short yet again, and this cycle continues to a point where you fall while taking your very first step? This is what is happening to me. With every time me trying to do better, I have ended up performing the worst. The more I try to reach my goal, the further I fall every time after a failure? I am honestly tried of trying. The whole world just blindly trusts me I can do good, but no one is able to notice that I am underachieving after every bad phase. I feel saddened to see people wasting their hopes on a loser. I should just quit and fall into the pits of failure once and for all. I can't bear to disappoint any more.
I feel weak and broken for my inability to recognize and deal with my narcissistic friend who has been dominating and controlling me for 10 years. I've been studying psychopathy, sociopathy, and narcissism for awhile now and this video nailed it. My violent and controlling 'friend' dismisses what I say, talks over me, dominates every conversation, and gaslights me when I get mad at him for him for being an a-hole. He never does anything wrong and is always right. My therapist says I am being psychologically abused.
Many people believe the trampoline is an advantage but if u look at different perceptive you could hit the trampoline and still decide to stay down, the ability to raise your foot to reach the stairs is you and and your determination 💪 and the trampoline will always be there,,, it doesn't necessarily need to be money, if you look closely you will see, it could even be someone's prayers for you or the experience you got from the previous failure
but i didn't have a trampoline. when i fall, i slam into the ground and it takes me a long time to recover. and then my stairs caught on fire and i had to rebuild them myself. but then government decided that my stairs needed to be taxed.
This actually shows the progress of someone having money. The one who doesnt have money, doesnt have stairs. He needs to climb one huge mountain to make progress.
