Mostly doing pretty good in my world. Can't complain too much. Just super busy with work.
Unfortunately, though, I - while doing my best to not engage anymore - have been dealing with somebody who possesses the signs of narcissism.
It makes me sad that the person is that way, but all I can do is to continue to try and pray for them although I don't know if my prayers are really being heard.
Nonetheless, I'll keep trying.
I have a high school friend whose husband committed suicide from the abuse an ex of his dished out on him. This isn't the same for me, but I can't even imagine what they felt when I can identify with some of the feelings that I have read about the victims who are the target of a narcissist.
It takes a lot of effort to fight them off.
Last night after watching a movie here at home, I typed in "narcissists use people" into Google and the first thing that came up was the following:
“Narcissists use other people — people who are typically highly empathic — to supply their sense of self-worth, and make them feel powerful. But because of their low self-esteem, their egos can be slighted very easily, which increases their need for compliments,” adds Shirin Peykar, LMFT.Jan 30, 2019
I've experienced that unwittingly.
And it hurts to know that my goodwill was taken advantage of.
Keep pressing on though.
