How to heal or overcome Narcisism

4 posts in this topic

Hi
Ever since my last break up, I've been reflecting on the patters of thought, behaviour and action that I have followed most of my life. 
I've come to the conclusion that I am a narcissist, and or have narcissistic tendencies; throughout my life people have told me I am somewhat narcissistic, but I honestly thought it was just that they didn’t like me. But I realise I do tend to think of myself as special or more special than everyone else, I tend to be very charming when first meeting people but have problems keeping relationships, I am not able to be as empathic with others, I like to call attention to myself etc. I also tend to attract broken and dysfunctional people into my life – I would go on, but this is not a confession.
The point of all this is, that now that I know that I am the problem, in ways I perhaps don’t even realise, I want to heal and change so that I can be a healthy, functional individual, who can have a fulfilling life and have meaningful relationships with others.
Can you guys recommend any resources that I can study and work with to overcome this and work through this? Or give me any advice? (Yes, I already go to therapy)
Thank you.

Narcissist usually cant see that hes a problem and would refuse to go to therapy.Which means you are not lost cause,i have a belief that narcissism cant be cured completely but that could be a bs.

What i recommend is a book "Completion process" by Teal Swan, since narcissism is mostly trauma based so that could be a good place to look.


There is nothing safe with playing it safe.
