10 Eye-Opening Quotes on Narcissism to Aid Your Recovery
The journey to healing after a relationship
with a narcissist can be very confusing
and lonely because you don’t know what to do and where to start.
Seeking professional help is the best recommendation
if you just broke free from a narcissistic relationship.
I collected these quotes to help people
who are already in the process of healing hoping
that they never get back to what broke them
and finally, heal both emotionally and mentally.
Here are the 10 Eye-Opening Quotes on Narcissism to Aid Your Recovery:
1. But the line between moral behavior and narcissistic self-righteousness is thin and difficult to discern.
It may be hard to differentiate between
both but always look for the motivation.
Moral behaviors are motivated by the moral conviction
and narcissistic self-righteousness is motivated
by the need for validation and superiority.
2. Narcissists, however, are similar to a spider that has built a web for its prey to bring itself.
Their main goal is never to form a connection
and they are not being themselves,
they use manipulative tactics
and charm to lure people in just to later exploit them.
A friendly reminder to keep your distance from them
once you spot them.
3. Narcissistic love is riding on the rollercoaster of disaster filled with a heart full of tears.
Love influenced by narcissism is tumultuous and emotionally destructive.
It is characterized by constant upheaval and heartbreak,
as the narcissist’s need for validation
and control creates a chaotic and painful relationship dynamic.
4. The narcissist devours people, consumes their output, and casts the empty, writhing shells aside.
Narcissists exploit others for their resources and energy,
draining them emotionally and physically.
Once they have extracted what they need, they discard their victims,
leaving them exhausted and devalued.
5. A man who loves others based solely on how they make him feel, or what they do for him, is really not loving others at all — but loving only himself.
That’s one of the narcissistic behaviors that will surprise you.
The love they show at the beginning is not really true
and most of the time they want you to admire them.
6. People, no matter the economic class, find ways to feed their narcissism.
We all have egos that need to feel great and important.
One of the human desires is to feel important,
it is not a bad thing.
That’s why people try to do great things and are competitive.
7. A narcissist wants you to adopt his version of himself.
Narcissists seek to impose their own idealized self-image on others,
wanting them to see and interact with them
through the lens of their own inflated self-perception.
This control helps reinforce their own self-importance.
8. But that’s the thing about narcissists. They can try to fool you, with all their heart, but in the end, they’re just fooling themselves.
Narcissists may be adept at deception, but they are
ultimately deceiving themselves more than anyone else.
Their self-delusion prevents them from facing the truth
about their behavior and its consequences.
9. Whoever loves becomes humble. Those who love have, so to speak, pawned a part of their narcissism.
Genuine love is entering the spirit and world
of the other person and letting them inside yours.
This involves humility, vulnerability, and selflessness
which are values that destroy all our narcissistic tendencies.
10. It is not love that should be depicted as blind, but self-love.
Yes.
