The Truth About Narcissism, How It Works + Overcoming it!

[Rochefort6]

Narcissist are just people with an over inflated sense of self. Don't mistake it for high confidence. The narcissist uses their high confidence to coverup insecurity. On top of that they need people to validate that
grandiose image.

Here is a talk about the different forms of narcissism and 4 ways to overcome it! (The Second way is my favorite!)

Be sure not to generalize, not all forms of narcissism as the same.

Is lack of self-awareness also an evolutionary advantage?

Pretty obvious. Narcissism isn’t good for the narcissist or those they interact with in the long run and there are things that can be done to change that.

Narcissist Don't mistake it for high confidence. The narcissist uses their high confidence to coverup insecurity. On top of that they need people to validate that grandiose image.

Confidence, is such a flaud concept/word imo.

To be precise.
Confident usually means: Extraverted + calm/collected/low in neuroticism in soical situations.
Unconfident usually means: Introverted + anxious/nervous/high in neuroticism in soical situations.

Narcisists, the gandious type at least, are generally more extraverted and more collected/low in neuroticism in soical situations. *1 . These 2 traits are proven to work well in attracting females (extraversion + calm (low neuroticism)
Which (these 2 traits) is what people often call the (cope) word of Confidence.

I know people whom feel very "confident" at work, when they perform their profession. Yet very "unconfident" in a soical situation, like a group party.
Reason, or the difference? Not confodence. But the difference then is anxiety/nervousness/etc.. levels in that person.

Add to it. That in studies I read:
1. narcistist look generall better, put more effort into looks
2. they are better at conveying they have certain traits or things WHEN THEY DON"T HAVE THEM; then a man is capable to convey it THAT ACTUALLY HAS IT! lol, that study was brutal, and lol at women haveing a 6th sense for lies.

With ALL Above.
We can see, why the "grandious" type of narcisist is such a success in general with dating/womens

*1 proof: Narcistists are MORE extraverted and MORE calm/collectedin social sitiatuions:
"Specifically, grandiose narcissism correlated mainly positively with Assertiveness (from Extraversion), and Intellect (Openness/Intellect), and negatively with Politeness (Agreeableness), Industriousness (Conscientiousness) and Withdrawal (Neuroticism)."

Narcissism between facets and domains. The relationships between two types of narcissism and aspects of the Big Five

Grandiose and vulnerable narcissism have distinct personality profiles. Specifically, grandiose narcissism correlates positively with Extraversion and negatively with Neuroticism, whereas vulnerable narcissism showed a reverse associations with these traits. Additionally, both types of...

Not true. Way more nuanced than that. You can definitely be confident with those “unconfident” personality traits for sure.

No person is gonna say:

Here a bunch of examples people. Whom ALL could be confident according to OP, even being very high in anxiousness.

well i dont know if it affects dating, but psychopaths just have a better life, they are free of the feelings of guilt, empathy, are low inhib basically.
being FREE in that context is very good cause u are unchained of the shackles most people have.

Depends on the context. Example, shy anxious introvert can be confident, charismatic, whatever in a setting that triggers less of a fear based response and more of a reward seeking one etc like as the head of his dungeons and dragons club. Again, confidence, it’s more nuanced than what is in the lense of the big 5 personality traits, even though that model is very accurate for its purposes.

No, it’s an exhausting and flawed way to live. Proven to ruin relationships, real and consistent growth and is rarely a good strategy for actual success.

Narcissist are more successful? Maybe I could accept that, but what about their track record for long-term relationships or even feeling good in themselves without a steady and reliable source for their addiction to validation. Without that, they can’t be as charasmatic and confident without thoughts of inferiority surfacing. I’m one, I would know.

you are not a psychopath tho, are you?
i am also a narcy and ur original post has some truth in it but i wouldnt want to change with a non narcissistic person, never

No not a psycho unless I take drugs to induce psychopathic behavior in me, which I’m pretty much over doing.
It’s a scary thought to think that maybe you could lose your ‘superpowers‘, I get it, I’m going through the same thing. That fake charisma, confidence, only works with a steady source of validation to silence the thoughts of inferiority though, otherwise they’re too exhausting to fake. If you do find that source, then I find you lose control of your ego and do some pretty stupid shit and ruin your life to some extent.
Won’t get into a big rant, and I don’t think I could convince another narc not to be a narc lol. I know how we are.
Only life experience, pain, Rock bottom moments, will inspire change, but unfortunately due to the self-deluding nature of NPD and lack of self-awareness it seems that won’t be enough for most narcys because it isn’t as easy as quitting, for example, a drug addiction, because most wont even see that they’re taking a drug, if you get me.
Up to you bro at the end of the day. For me, I’d love to start from scratch and build real confidence and self-esteem, even though that is seemingly impossible at this point. I’ll try regardless

I am a narcy. Read my above comment bro. Narcissism can be useful in certain situations but at what cost? It’s like infecting your mind with a virus. Cons vastly outweighs the pros. And you might be a narcy and not know it, very common.

"Confidence" = aldo context based in your example.
Which is what I also observed in most cases, that "confidence" is corraleted plenty with envrionment.
Something that is such "context based"; I consider fluid. And thus much based on state, wich part of the bed got out off that day, flow of the day, etc...

No, it’s an exhausting and flawed way to live. Proven to ruin relationships, real and consistent growth and is rarely a good strategy for actual success.

It's true that narcisistist will constantly fuck up their lifes, and aspects of their lifes, and relationships. because of thair nature.
But they will way way lss likely be incel. And most likely slayers. Not that narcistists are more happy or happy at all.
they do regularly fuck up, or over, their life. Because their life is never good in their eyes. They also can be suicidal more.
Destructive tendencies they often have.
AND that's the sad part, about narcistists.

I am a narcissist

What type of narcisist? Like more the grandious one? Or more the vulnerable oen?

Did you do gaslighting and stuff also?

Or that doesn't feel natural to you to do?

Narcissist are more successful? Maybe I could accept that, but what about their track record for long-term relationships

The grandious ones can be successfull regularly. Due to haveing great network skills, and portraiting leadership type of "confidence".
I dunno about their track record for LTR, I think it will be bad. I never read studies, but from personal observations. Women seem to put up with a lot of shit from narcisists in LTR but still be okay/saty with him. But for such dudes, they can't see that and they still push further and further, untill the woman had alot of bad stuff happening and she can't take any more. Then she takes it out on the next dude, whom did nothing wrong, that next dude that accpets that are such fucking losers. Never accpet punishment, for what someone else did.

, but what about their track record for long-term relationships or even feeling good in themselves without a steady and reliable source for their addiction to validation. Without that, they can’t be as charasmatic and confident without thoughts of inferiority surfacing. I’m one, I would know.

I seem to see that also. From the few narcists I know. They are very unhappy in general. They are, and NEED, the next validation fix. Like an addict.
I haven't seen an narciostst being statisfied with his validation needs, by just 1 LTR perosn. because it wears off. They usually need fresh/new validation. They more often cheat, or need to cheat, to get their fix. or other ways of getting validation.
It's looking closely imo, often a struggling existence they have.
Looking at it from outside/superficially; most think they have it made and a great life. Because most guys struggle or can't get new bitches regularly.

Can you find pther ways to get your validation fix?
Religuous groups can be great for that, for some narcisists. When at high postition, pleople with same religion adoring you, and of course the status, plus you can help people actually maybe with the large network or good advice so they very happy and complim,entative to you. Plus ussually it's a decent size group, and renewals of new people, that you can get some fresh validation juice also.
