BEST MOMENTS

Children of narcissists learn that love is abuse. The narcissist teaches them that if someone displeases you, it is okay to harm them and call it love. –M. Wakefield

Narcissism is not about self love. It’s a clinical trait that belies a deep sense of emptiness, low self-esteem, emotional detachment, self-loathing, extreme problems with intimacy. –Drew Pinsky

Narcissists purposefully target people who have high levels of integrity.

–from IforHer.com

Narcissists install a mental filter in our heads a little bit at a time… ‘Will he get upset if I do/say/think this? Will he approve/disapprove? Will he feel hurt by this? Until we can uninstall the narcissist-filter, our actions are controlled by narcissists to some degree. –Sam Vaknin
