    Coyote,

    What is it that makes you think you’re a narcissist? I’m curious because this is a very complex issue that requires professional counseling specializing in that area.

    The fact that every relationship will sooner or later end up in abusing the other one. Also the broken self-esteem with huge need to play others off the board while boosting my own ego. I don’t always realize I am doing such things, but sometimes there are brief moments when things clear up due to my stupid actions or things other people might say.

     

    Thank you, friend

    Dear Coyote:

    You wrote: “In the past months I have lost nearly all my friends due to my actions”- can you elaborate on what your actions were, your actions leading to friends ending their friendship with you?

    You wrote: “I was in a relationship, that after the lovely start turned into an abusive and destructive prison for my lover. After all, I ended up leashing him emotionally and economically”- can you elaborate on how you abused your ex lover, and what you mean by “leashing him emotionally and economically”?

    Coyote,

    You wrote, “The fact that every relationship will sooner or later end up in abusing the other one.” with the operative word being “every.”  First, this is not a “fact.” Plain and simple. The word “will” is an absolute so I have no reason to believe that “every relationship will sooner or later end up in abusing the other one.”

    Narcissism is a profoundly destructive personality trait yet for one to want to change one must be willing to invest a sincere effort to undergo professional counseling and it may take some time. At some point in counseling some memories, issues, may present themselves to the point where you are tempted want to quit. Embedded images stirring the pot of fear, anger, and whatever issue that may arise is a HUGE opportunity to confront your fears. Have no fear my friend. You are stronger than those fears. I forgot who said this, “Learning has no value if change is no longer necessary.” If you want to change, Coyote, you first must learn. In your self diagnosed case of narcissism, I am not sure if you can learn from any advice I can give. I apologize profusely to you if that seems harsh. Find a professional who employs a mode of therapy that has many years experience in this area. They can teach, you can learn, and you can change.

    I wish you the very best of luck my friend.

    Pearce
