BEST MOMENTS

A narcissist paints a picture of themselves as being the victim or innocent in all respects. They will be offended by the truth. But what is done in the dark will come to light. Time has a way of showing people’s true colors. –Karla Grimes

A narcissist doesn’t want to discuss their actions. They want to provoke your reactions. So they can use your reactions as distractions from their actions. –E.S. (Abuse Warrior)

What narcissists can’t stand: When you ignore them, when you show confidence, when you’re happy without them. -unknown

Narcissism is not about self-love. It’s a clinical trait that belies a deep sense of emptiness, low self-esteem, emotional detachment, self-loathing, extreme problems with intimacy. –Drew Pinsky

Projection is a major function of the narcissistic shell. Anything the narcissists don’t like about themselves is projected onto others in order to keep their false image intact. –Diana Macey
