Signs That Your Partner Is Nacissistic
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is not the same thing as self-confidence or self-absorption.
When someone posts too many selfies or flexible photos on their profile or constantly talks about
themselves on a first date, we might subject them to be a narcissist.
But are true narcissist is one with NPD, which is a mental health problem that is classified by;
This is what this post is all about, the awareness to empower you up and out of a narcissistic
relationship. Also note that this post applies to absolutely any narcissist in your life, other signs apply
to any toxic relationships such as a spouse, lover, friend, family members, neighbors, etc.
So, without further ado, let's dive in. Here are 8 signs that you are dealing with a narcissistic partner.
If your partner is a self-centered narcissist, the only thing there ever want to talk about is
themselves. They will always find ways to make themselves the subject of every conversation.
Every reference leads back to them and every story revolves around them. everything is always
about them; they are constantly the center of attention and they love it that way.
All narcissist has one particularly very annoying habit they do in a relationship. Every narcissist
rumble and talk about their great qualities. But a narcissistic partner wants to hear you always talk
about them too.
They’ll ask you questions like, what is you like most about me? Which of my personality are you most
attracted to?
Do not get me wrong please, as humans it’s normal to ask these questions every once in a while,
your partner might be honestly curious about how you feel, but if your partner drops this same
conceited question regularly, you’ve got a problem to handle. Because there is a big chance that you
are dating a narcissist.
2. EXAGGERATED LANGUAGE:
It is not just the conversation that comes up as self-centered. You’d probably notice the arrogance or
self-importance in the way they talk about themselves. The kind of stories they tell about
themselves, the word they use.
For instance, let’s say your partner tells you a story of finding a bag that belongs to someone by the
roadside, a normal person might say they want out to get something a found a bag by the roadside,
and they were relieved to later find the bag’s owner.
But a narcissist, have a very particular way of characterizing themselves, they want to look in every
story. They want every story to give a reason to admire them, to feel attracted to them. they want to
leave behind an image of confidence and achievement, especially when they are talking to a
significant order. That’s why narcissists exaggerate almost every detail.
They spice up the actions, raise the stakes, and emphasize their heroism just to impress you.
Suddenly that story is not about finding someone’s lost bag, it’s just another opportunity for your
partner to brag about how great they are.
3. INFLEXIBLE EMPATHY:
One of the major characteristics of a narcissist is that they lack empathy and ability to feel what
other people are feeling.
“They cannot make people feel comfortable, validating, seen, accepted or understood because they
do not quite understand the concept of feelings”
Let’s say “they don’t do emotions that belong to others”. Narcissistic partners might have
unreasonably high expectations from you.
Many narcissistic partners are extremely unforgiving. For instance, let’s say you’re 5 minutes late for
an event you’re supposed to go with them on a date, they will yell at you like you just crashed their
car.
Narcissists expect you to be perfect at every turn and what you to do every single thing they ask no
matter what.
So, the moment you fail or disappoint, your narcissistic partner is going to let you have it.
There’s no doubt that the inability to empathize or even sympathize is mostly the reason why many,
if not all narcissists relationship doesn’t last even if they are very romantic.
4. GASLIGHTING
Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse and manipulation and it is a major trait of narcissism.
Narcissists can spit out outright lies, falsely accuse others, distort the truth, and ultimately distort
your reality.
They gaslight you for you to doubt yourself as a way for them to gain superiority and make
themselves feel better.
They thrive off of being worshipped so, they use manipulation tactics as a way to get you to worship
them.
Signs of gaslighting are;
5. FALSE ENTITLEMENT
One common trait among narcissists is that they get mad when you tell them “NO”. They lash out
because they feel entitled to everything you have.
They always expect you to willingly give up everything for them at the drop of a hat. “if they need it,
you’re alleged to provides it to them”.
Narcissistic partners act entitled towards everyone around them; they get angry at servers for
making them wait a few extra minutes.
They yell at store-clerks who make some quite tiny mistake. So, if you notice a pattern of disrespect,
you’re probably dating a narcissist.
As soon you attempt to back away, a narcissist will do everything in their power to keep you in their
life.
At first, they’ll show you all their love, they might even want to choke you with it. They will go extra
just to keep you around, make you happy, and all just to prove they’ve changed.
But as soon as everything is back to normal, they’ll go back to their usual self to show you they never
actually changed.
And because of this behavior, many narcissists find themselves in and out of relationships. They are
on-again, off-again until they find themselves in a whole new romantic relationship.
7. THEY LASH OUT WHEN YOU SHOW THEM YOU ARE REALLY DONE:
Most narcissists will make it their goal to hurt if you insist on leaving the relationship.
“Their egos are so badly beaten that it makes them feel anger and hatred for people who have
wronged them. This is because everyone is to blame, even the break-up.
It might in them bad-mouthing you to save their ego, or they might even start dating someone’s
immediately to get you jealous and help heal their ego and they might make attempt to steal your
friends.
The reason for this is because for them, a good reputation means everything to them and they won’t
allow anything or anybody to jeopardize it for them
8. WILLING ADMISSION
I know this might sound strange to you, but most narcissists would recognize their narcissism. They
would willingly admit to some of the most common and self-destructive symptoms.
Fact is, narcissists are not blind to their behavior, they know exactly what they are doing and why
they are doing it.
They know what they are doing wrong, they know they are being manipulative and entitled. They
know they are not being supportive of their partner as they should, but they have too much ego to
do anything about it.
What that means is that they are however self-aware. If you show a narcissist the symptoms of
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), they’ll be able to recognize the symptoms in themselves.
This was proven by a recent study. Researchers educated people who tested positive for NPD and
they find that most narcissists can relate to their narcissism.
So, if you think you’re dating are narcissist, don’t be afraid to come out straight and ask your partner.
There’s a better chance that your partner would be able to tell you everything you need to know.
