CHRISTIAN SINGLE’S GUIDE TO PERSONALITY DISORDERS
WHICH CAUSE DEPRESSION FOR BOTH THE PERPETRATOR AND THEIR VICTIMS
Chapter 24. Narcissism: “I Love Me, I Love Me Not”
The Secret Life Of The Narcissist
Christian singles should take special note; these are some of the
warning signs of the abusive narcissist. Not every narcissist will
exhibit every sign, because their descent into narcissism varies, and
the roots of the disorder can vary from a childhood of abuse and
neglect to a childhood of extreme parental permissiveness, where the
child was never told “No” and was allowed to break every rule,
having no boundary or limits. Christian singles, if you are dating
someone like this, please study this person carefully and do not marry
him or her unless they can be brought back to sanity! In cases where
narcissism hasn’t reached the violent stage, and the person doesn’t
fly into a rage, verbally abusing everyone in sight, there is some
hope. Later, I will tell you about some therapy that can “break the
spell of self-deception” if it is not too late and the person can
begin to understand that they do not need to wear a mask of perfection
to receive the praise they need so desperately. But it is questionable
whether they can ever be free enough to truly love others, and not
look upon a spouse, their parents or their children as possessions;
sort of like stage props to exhibit their superior qualities to
whomever they want to impress. Stage props is indeed a good
description for the people who depend upon them, especially their
unfortunate children. Literally, “all the world is a stage“ to
their parent. Narcissists usually chose one or more persons whom they
respect, and they will do anything to impress these authority figures,
(usually a pastor, superior at work, doctor, or someone with
specialized knowledge.)
