Unhappy Sincere aplogies

Freelancer, I am sorry. I did not mean to infer that anyone suffering a mental illness is not suffering. I know mental illness very well. I was truly trying to be lighthearted about some poeple who just love themselves so much that usually, it is those around them that came the worst off. Absolutley not in the case of your family member.

I see these traits, lets say 'less severe' narccisistic traits, in many others. People who do not listen and only wish to talk about themselves and never ask questions of you. Nothing quite as serious. Again I do aplogise and wish your family members well. regards

She managed to hurt my unkle who took her in, took care of her when everyone abonded her. She managed to hurt another family member who also gave her shelter, food and even love. But most of all she hurt herself. Its funny but the more you hurt the people surrounding yourself the more it comes back to you. When I know see her, the life seems to be drained out of her. She's 17 years old but looks like a 30 year old. Her face is contracted to the point that she constantly appears to frown of misery. You can feel a dark energy emanating from her.

She's truly in hell.

You should feel compassionate for somebody in that position.



Great questions, although I've got no real answer for them. Personally I've avoided all contact and told my direct relatives to do the same. They are like a void pulling in all life energy around them.

Narcissim - me,myslef and I compared & acknowledged against the world
Evryone are narciss in some sort of a way
I could label myself as one.
Every single one of us grew in a different enviroment...
we all have diffrent levels and kind of knowledge...
what is knowledge-something you expirience-something you learn...
that creates your opinion....
how much you are convinced that you are absolutly right...
is how many opinions get along...
in how many you find yourslef...
comparing your self to others...
you became a narciss...
declaring your opinion is a narcissim to...
you declare,compare and seek acknowledgement...
shut down your comparing yourself to the ordinary or special,...
just be yourself.....if you lose your self cricitism you lose your conscience...
and you become a firm person(true narciss) in eyes of another...
and satisfied with oneself
