Well, first - your not that special. You might think you are, but no one else does. You bore people. No one likes to be around you. Do dogs like you? I doubt it. So you want to change. Change to what? To someone that really is special, but does not know it or believe it? Here is how to do it. Dedicate your narissistic life to helping other, instead of helping yourself - volunteer to help those less fortunate than you. I also suggest that you go out and buy "How to win friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. This book will teach you how to put your attention on other's and get it off of yourself. Take the Dale Carnegie classes. Join the military. Serve your country. I suggest the Marines. They'll beat the selfishness right out you. And you'll be a better person for it! |

Ya know, if you are truly a narcissist the above advice is excellent. However, the one thing I have never seen a narcissist do is try to improve themselves. I have also seen that they do not improve if someone tries to help them. In your case you may have a wrong diagnosis. Plus, most people will from time to time demonstrate some of the tendencies of a narcissist but it would be wrong to brand them as such. If you can stand to help others without it making you highly critical and vindictive you would be out of the narcissist ball park. If you get any joy from others successes you have some sanity left. A narcissist is really nuts!!! The problem could be in this area....If someone in your environment is making you feel unsure of yourself, invalidating you, not participating in any way in your agenda get rid of them!!! The narcissist is really off the beaten path of humanity. Perhaps 2 in 100 people fit the bill and I question whether you are one of them. A narcissist is in a hell-of-a-trap and their best bet is to go out and do hard labor and stay away from the rest of humanity!!! (quite like the advice above) There is a book called Self Analysis?see this page http://www.alibris.com/search/books/author/Hubbard,%20L%20Ron It is an eye opener as to the scale of human behavior and a good road map to self improvement. Don't join the narcissistic club if you don't have to!! |
