Why is narcissism so detrimental to relationships? The answer: because narcissism is a condition of separation, distrust and ‘me versus you’. Such states make a relationship (which requires by definition: teamwork, trust and co-operation) impossible to sustain. Narcissistic Personality Disorder is more common than you think. It’s identifiable firstly by understanding certain individuals struggle with humility. Have you loved a person who is never wrong, never sorry and believes it is always someone else’s fault? Have you ever experienced an individual who’s non-accountable for their behaviour and doesn’t learn despite the mayhem and pain they produce? Have you witnessed an individual who has no tolerance for the slightest criticism, even when given constructive advice? Read further because this person may well be suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Maybe you’re starting to see this behaviour, or can relate it to an ex-partner. The most massive (and initially devastating) realisation that’s necessary to assimilate, in order to pull away and create authentic love, is that the narcissist is incapable of genuine love and empathy. His purpose for creating a love relationship is for two reasons. Firstly to secure narcissistic supply (attention), and secondly to have an outlet to project his internal pain and torture onto. Relationship partners who are hooked and ‘hang on’ make the perfect subjects to abuse. Additionally many narcissistic are very ‘loose’ and struggle to do the necessary tasks in life, such as be accountable for bills, and play by the rules. Love partners who have good integrity, ethics and are solid citizens grant them the safety net of survival in society. Narcissists believe that being accountable and ‘solid’ makes them disgustingly ‘normal’. Mundane tasks that don’t offer narcissistic supply are avoided and even resented.
