Survived 2 Ns
Survived 2 Ns
Hello everyone. So glad to have found this website. And looking very forward to reading Lisa's book.
In the meantime, here's a little bit about my story. I was involved with 2 narcissists--back to back relationships. The first one was somatic, the second cerebral. After surviving the somatic, I was so attuned to their shenanigans that I thought I knew how to spot a narcissist from miles away. Boy, was I wrong. The cerebral has more stealthy tactics but eventually reveal the same underlying narcissism once the "mask" comes off. I almost married the cerebral N two months ago but called it off. I was left in shambles, trying to figure out what happened--how he pulled the jekyll & hyde without me seeing it coming. While I know they are great actors--especially the first 3-6 months, I now realize I ignored a few tell-tale signs. Both of my Ns had sexual dysfunction issues--which doesn't mean they're narcissists, but from what I understand narcissists usually have these issues (derived form intimacy problems).
Anyway, much more to say but wanted to share a little bit now and am looking forward to contributing more and helping others avoid these evil creaturees going forward.
how many of these 'gentlemen' are there?
