Features and signs of perverse narcissism

In modern medicine, various kinds of psychological disorders that this or that person may encounter are described in sufficient detail. To such disorders include perverse narcissism. The condition when a person does not notice anyone but himself, sometimes can go beyond and in this case can already be considered a pathology. It is difficult to diagnose this psychological disease, because it is impossible to diagnose a person for sure without the appropriate knowledge in psychology and psychiatry. This article will describe in more detail the features of this disease, its symptoms and treatment methods.

Perverse narcissism is a specific personality disorder and certain behaviors that can be manifested to the same extent in women and men. People with such a disorder are called "daffodils." However, it is not worth calling every person who is overly self-loving, because this disease is difficult to determine without being a professional doctor. Moreover, this disease has various forms when a person suffering from this disease does not pose any danger to society. The features of perverse narcissism also include:

• unreasonable high personal self-esteem;
• lack of feelings of regret or anxiety towards other people;
• a feeling of superiority over all other members of society.

Speaking about the man "narcissus", who suffers from severe pathology, we can mention the fact that such individuals "play" their own games against the opposite sex. Which, in turn, often negatively affects the latter. Women begin to suffer from depression, and sometimes receive more serious psychological trauma.

Perverse daffodils have a peculiar and even specific manner of behavior that they develop in more than one year. Such people very often deny their actions and often do not do what they promise. These people almost always try to subjugate the will of their interlocutor or partner.

To date, there is no clear answer from experts why this disorder occurs. But, like many other disorders and complexes, it can have roots in childhood. This may be due to the inferiority complex, dissatisfaction with their appearance or position in society. The provocation of this disease can be caused by improper upbringing or insufficient attention paid to the child.

Sometimes experts even talk about the genetic predisposition of this type of disorder. And sometimes this disorder can be a symptom of even more dangerous diseases, for example, it may well be schizophrenia.

It is quite difficult to list all the signs of a "narcissus", because each person is inherently very individual, and therefore the disease can manifest itself in one way or another in different ways. Nevertheless, the most significant common points due to which you can recognize the "narcissus" include:

• very strong fantasies of great success, about which the alleged narcissus is constantly talking;
• the presence of desires for reverence from specific people and society as a whole;
• arrogance and excessive ambitiousness, not supported by any action;
• open negativity to any criticism in their favor;
• every concealment of complexes;
• the use of other people for their own selfish purposes.

Men and women with this pathology are never interested in the successes of other people, including loved ones. They often talk about idols, and then they scorn them in every possible way. There are certain characteristics that have a gender nature. So, narcissistic men are always very arrogant, have the desire to become very rich and famous no matter what.

Such men, as a rule, do not deny themselves anything, even if opportunities do not allow them. They very often neglect the attitude of the fair sex. Moreover, men are very demanding and proud. Typical male daffodils are financially dependent on their parents or the lady of the heart. As a rule, they think about the family at the last moment or do not think at all, putting themselves in the forefront. As for women, their pathology of perverse narcissism is manifested in the following:

• they overly watch their appearance, reaching the point of absurdity;
• looking for rich and wealthy partners, even if they understand that they are not a couple;
• admire themselves at every opportunity, praising themselves in every way;
• very often, in pursuit of an ideal appearance, women daffodils resort to plastic surgery, other surgical interventions and too abundant use of decorative cosmetics.

Despite the fact that a lady may have a pathology of this type, it is rather difficult to identify it. In appearance, such well-groomed persons do not seem to be mentally unhealthy and seeking their own benefit, on the contrary, they are often admired.Such girls, like male daffodils, do not prefer to earn on their own, most often they are financed by their parents. In any case, some people may simply have excessive self-esteem and this does not mean that they are sick.

Many individuals, having a conversation with interlocutors, cannot immediately recognize the narcissus. It is also very difficult to identify, just by looking at it. People with pathology are very gallant and often make a good impression at first glance, as a result of which it is quite pleasant to communicate with them. Suspecting something until a certain time is almost impossible.

The first stages of a relationship with a man or woman suffering from perverse narcissism may seem very “sweet”. Many researchers even call them the “honeymoon,” but then everything changes radically and the relationship begins to be completely different. Since people with narcissistic perversion have a serious personality disorder, they very often feel dissatisfied, although they do not show it. But, when their partner bothers them, they stop hiding it, showing their true essence. Then the relationship in the literal sense can turn into a real nightmare.

It is difficult to say whether it is hard to establish friendships with such people, it all depends on the form of the disease and how neglected the behavior itself is. But if we talk about serious pathology and directly about the relationship of the couple, then this relationship is a dead end. If they will develop a certain time and bring some pleasure, then in the future they will not bring anything good.

Despite the fact that the behavior of the narcissus is difficult to predict, experts note certain cliches and specific techniques that people with this pathology skillfully use. So, the technique is referred to as data.

• Exaggeration of any problems, embellishment of situations in their favor.
• Reluctance to listen to a partner, understand his feelings and emotions. Frequent “switching” of full attention to himself, while the partner discusses something important and urgent. At the same time, the daffodil can use ridicule, dramatically changing the topic of conversation.
• A wake-up call may also be that a daffodil partner will misinterpret the words of his interlocutor.
• Also, people with such an ailment can simply boycott those with whom they communicate, without explaining to them the reasons.
• And finally, they can show sudden bouts of aggression, even in relation to close people and relatives. They can often be angry when something went wrong.

The perverse daffodil will always try to destroy another person in order to gain all power over him. And many weak personalities, unfortunately, succumb to such an influence.

The diagnosis and any therapeutic measures should be prescribed by a professional. This disease, as a rule, is not detected at the very beginning of its occurrence, and therefore it becomes chronic, as a result of which therapy sessions can be problematic. As a rule, specialists develop a certain course of treatment, trying to interest the patient and push him to self-healing. It is the psychotherapy sessions that show the best indicators of cure, and not medication. The latter should be prescribed if, in addition to one disorder, a person has depression, panic attacks or any phobias, all this requires mandatory adjustment.

In any specific situations with mixed disorders, a specialist can prescribe tranquilizers, antidepressants, other sedatives and herbal remedies to the patient. However, medications dull the symptoms of a disorder to a greater extent, without curing the disease. To achieve the best result, complex therapy should be applied, which necessarily includes meetings with the therapist.

Of course, the best option to avoid problems is not to contact such people at all, since it is very difficult to resist them. Perverse daffodils seem to feed on the energy of those whom they have set their sights; it’s difficult to do anything about it. As a rule, if a daffodil man neglects his woman in everyday life and in many other respects with regard to the family, then it is difficult to do anything here. Most often, specialists and family psychologists solve the problems of simpler situations related to domestic quarrels.

But if we are talking about a daffodil, then here either long-term therapy will be required, or people will have to disperse. Sometimes women choose humility, but again, for a long time they are not enough. A woman should realize that if it so happened that her chosen one suffers from this pathology and is a tyrant, then this is not his fault. It has already happened. But this is not a reason to endure and allow in every possible way to mock yourself.

In rare cases, correction of behavior with the help of a specialist yields results, but only if the narcissistic pervert himself is interested in this, and not his victim. It should also be understood that narcissistic people very often suffer from sensations that destroy them from the inside. Some of them even suffer from loneliness, because they can not control themselves.
