i’ll wait like a dog for you
crawling at your feet
begging for scraps from the dinner table
but i’m happier here
because you told me i should be
looking up at you from my shallow grave
my body grows cold as i wait for the next time you’ll want me
you’re the one who haunts me at night
watching as i call your name when i cum
Fact
*Narcissistic Personality Disorder* (NDP) is a mental health condition in which people have an unreasonably high sense of their own importance.
○ They need and seek too much attention and want people to admire them.
○ People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others.
*How do narcissists act?*
*Narcissistic Personality Disorder* (NDP) involves a pattern of self-centered, arrogant thinking and ones behaviour, a lack of empathy and consideration for other people, and an excessive need for admiration
Others often describe people with NPD as *cocky,*
*manipulative,*
*selfish,*
*patronizing,*
and *demanding.*
*How does a narcissist apologize?*
*If* they do apologize, it's often insincere and accompanied by excuses or justifications for their behaviour, says Dr. Michael Kane, chief medical officer at Indiana Centre for Recovery.
*“They often & seldom shift the blame onto someone else or make empty promises to change in order to appease the situation,”* Kane notes
Here are some signs of *Narcissistic Personality Disorder Narcissism* vs. *Narcissistic Personality Disorder*
● Having narcissistic tendencies -- like bragging or making themself the centre of attention -- are normal when they occur occasionally.
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is different.
● Symptoms are more severe, occur across different situations and environments, and make relationships with others challenging, if not impossible.
Here, Zachary Rosenthal PhD, a clinical psychologist at Duke Health, answers questions about NPD and what you can do if you suspect that you or a loved one has the condition.
Dr. Zach Rosenthal discusses the symptoms of NPD, how it is diagnosed, and the individualized approach he takes for treating the disorder.
*What are the symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder?*
Use the acronym *“SPECIAL ME”* to remember the signs of NPD.
1. SPECIAL ME
1. Sense of self-importance
Preoccupation with power, beauty, or success
Entitled
Can only be around people who are important or special
Interpersonally exploitative for their own gain
Arrogant
Lack empathy
Must be admired
Envious of others or believe that others are envious of them
2. How is NPD diagnosed?
○ Trained mental health professionals conduct a structured interview to learn more about an individual’s typical behaviour patterns. If someone consistently displays at least five of the SPECIAL ME traits, they meet the diagnostic criteria for the condition.
*Is NPD genetic?*
*No, there is no gene for NPD, and people are not born with it.* Like other mental health conditions, the environment is a major factor. Children who are encouraged to believe they are extraordinary and always deserve the best - sometimes at the expense of others - could later develop NPD. In these children, traits like confidence are rewarded, while qualities like empathy are not.
○ *Are narcissists bad people?*
Narcissists are not bad people; *it’s their behaviour that’s problematic.* They have been conditioned to believe that they are special and deserve to be treated better than others and approach the world accordingly.
*Can I have a relationship with someone with NPD?*
It depends. If your romantic partner, family member, or boss has NPD, they can make your life challenging. Because they put themselves first, you may feel belittled, and your mental health could suffer. Coping strategies include setting personal boundaries and gently walking away if they are breached. However, this is not always easy to do. Calling your partner a narcissist won't help either. Instead, you should focus on your well-being and decide what you are willing to tolerate.
*Can people recover from NPD?*
Yes, but changing a learned behaviour takes time and effort. People with NPD do not generally seek help on their own, and if they do, it is often because of a co-existing problem, like anxiety. Because there is no proven medication or therapy to treat NPD, providers take an individualized approach. Getting to know the patient and establishing a trusting relationship are key components of treatment. If a person is willing to change and their therapist can help them bridge the gap between their current and desired behaviors, there is hope for recovery.

I learned from my mother how to love
the living, to have plenty of vases on hand
in case you have to rush to the hospital
with peonies cut from the lawn, black ants
still stuck to the buds. I learned to save jars
large enough to hold fruit salad for a whole
grieving household, to cube home-canned pears and peaches, to slice through maroon grape skins, and flick out the sexual seeds with a knife point.
I learned to attend viewings even if I didn’t know the deceased, to press the moist hands of the living, to look in their eyes and offer sympathy, as though I understood loss even then.
I learned that whatever we say means nothing, what anyone will remember is that we came. I learned to believe I had the power to ease awful pains materially like an angel.
Like a doctor, I learned to create from another’s suffering my own usefulness, and once you know how to do this, you can never refuse.
To every house you enter, you must offer healing: a chocolate cake you baked yourself, the blessing of your voice, your chaste touch.
