Inside the Mind of a Narcissistic Person and How to Counter Attack Their Behavior: Everything You Need to Know About Narcissistic Persons (ePub)

Relating to others and feeling empathy is necessary to keep bullying, self-praise, and arrogance at bay. With the lack of empathy that a narcissist experiences, they cannot always see the reverse side of the behaviors they are allowing to define them. Finding a way to see and understand this will be the key to finding a way to dampen their dominating nature. There has to be an equating idea, something they can see in the other person that they understand in themselves. At this point, they can then redirect their ideas to be more understanding and less critical.

Finding an escape from themselves and the people they constantly need to justify themselves to is also important in overcoming issues with narcissism. The biggest fight is for them to know that they are not as perfect or superior as they believe without them succumbing to self-criticism that is harmful to their personality. This is especially true if the main reason for their narcissism stems from the idea that they have an imperfection that must be quantified in a manner that causes over-confidence to come into play.

Reevaluating their approach to people and themselves is very important for Narcissistic Personality Disorder sufferers. The condition is based around the idea that they are always right in most cases. Because of this, there is no direct way to approach the issue, as they will feel as if others, to make themselves look better, are trying to criticize them. Thus the only true way to overcome the disorder is for the person to realize they have such disorder and take the steps to understand it more and regulate it better. Once there is an understanding, the motivation will come with how much they want to change. Often, this will be the result when someone they care about or is close to them is severely hurt by their words or actions. Difficult as it is to face, Narcissistic Personality Disorder can be managed through therapy and the use of hobbies and/or meditation to give them more perspective about things. The ability to open their mind to new ideas will be necessary to seek change. The biggest obstacle is making the change themselves, and finding a way to better who they are by being better to the people around them.
