Narcissist jokes

Taken from Wiki...because boy do we need a laugh! xx

A light-hearted look at narcissism (to offer comfort)

It can be distressing to live with someone who has narcissistic traits and it may be best to start to understand the condition in a humorous way. The following jokes are intended to explain some of the psychodynamics associated with narcissists. They are not intended to make fun of the narcissist but to make light of a difficult situation, providing some comfort to the family, especially children and partners, of a narcissist. They are also intended to be accurate from the point of view of the psychologist or psychiatrist, thereby providing a gateway towards understanding the condition. One fact which the family of the narcissist is likely to forget is that while it is distressing to live with a person who has a narcissistic disorder, the person who has the narcissistic disorder is also suffering.

Heated conversation between a narcissist and his/her spouse

Narcissist's spouse: I'm not like you!

Joker: Why do narcissists indulge in projection?
