Why Am I Behaving Like the Narcissist – Am I One?
Why am I behaving like the narcissist?
This is a common question that I read and that I am asked.
It causes worry and anxiety, it also leads to holes occurring in the No Contact Regime because an empathic victim lays blame on themselves and then engages in remedial action which damages that all-important No Contact regime.
This material provides you with a pillar for your Logic Defences so that you understand what is happening and you start maintain theNo Contact regime.
This material addresses the following :-
Why am I behaving like the narcissist?
What is driving that behaviour?
Can I stop this behaviour and how does that happen?
Am I turning into a narcissist?
Is there such a thing as “narcissistic fleas”?
How the narcissist´s Campaign of Projection is involved
Does Emotional Thinking play a part and if so, how?
What should I look for to distinguish my behaviour from that of the narcissist?
Am I instinctively behaving like the narcissist and if so, why?
Am I consciously behaving like the narcissist and if so, why?
Is this behaviour towards the narcissist only or can it be demonstrated towards non-narcissists as well?
Delivered as an audio file through email, this material, as always explained using HG Tudor´s unique and effective lexicon, will enable you to understand more about your behaviour. Understanding is the key to achieving freedom and it is just as important to understand you as it is to understand the narcissist.
I am able to act like a narcissist. Because I was abused by my narc partner I learned to play his game that you can win only if you turn off your emotions. I also learned a lot from this blog. It gave me a lot of self awareness. I know how to manipulate, push buttons and how to protect myself with cold head
You are being conned.
Hello HG
The only way to win is not be there, I learned that yes I can behave in the same manner as one of your kind, yet this is where the lie I tell myself deceives me.
I don’t mean I AM playing the game. I mean I gained some insight about how empath’s emotions work, how my emotions work and how to control them when neccesary. My ex (narcissist) doesn’t have this insight because he is not able to see what he is. I know what I am and what my weak spots are. I know what are narcissist’s weak spots. And other empaths. Because now I have this knowledge I see how easy one can manipulate an empath who knows nothing about narcissists or other empaths. Because of that I am able to act like a narcissist. I know what narcissist would do and what reaction from empath he/she would get. It doesnt mean I do it. Not often at least, but done that a few times with some empaths, it gave me short lived satisfaction “oh god, what a fool”, “look how angry he is, the outcome is better than I imagined” but after a while I feel embarrased I did it because I am empath after all and prefer to have true relationships without any manipulations or in other (more accurate) words – I dont like to feel bad about myself and what I do to other people, esp to those who are “pure” and trust me.
Hello Fellowgirl
This is a contradiction
“I don’t mean I AM playing the game. “
“It doesnt mean I do it. Not often at least, but done that a few times with some empaths,”
Twice you said you do not play the game then you say you do it not often then give yourself the I feel bad to excuse the behavior.
Manipulating another is playing a game to benefit you in some way.
Trust you, I don’t think so.
