Who is a narcissist?
We use the word “narcissist” a lot these days, but if you ask me who is a person with a narcissistic personality, popularly known as a “narcissist”, I would say that such a person, among others:
- is completely self-absorbed
- has no empathy
- feels that he is "in the ownership"
- is defensive in a pathological way, you won't be able to get to its true core
- is not responsible for any mistakes because he believes that others make them, while he is never wrong
- will give you false promises, will tell you what you want to hear, especially at the beginning of the relationship you will feel that you have found the ideal who shows great interest in you and makes you feel really important. Unfortunately, it's like throwing a hook with a worm into the water, and once you catch the rod, sooner or later you will feel like mentioned fish, struggling in the water, feeling like there is no way out.
- follows twisted ethics rules, where his behaviour is always justified, regardless of whether it hurts someone or not
- considers manipulation and all kinds of lies, big and small, as a way to achieve what he cares about
- can create a perfect image of himself, and even a story of his past, sometimes it's unbelievable what a narcissist can come up with in order to achieve what he wants or impress the others
- he can have two faces, the one for the world, the ideal one, the leader, even the spiritual guide, characterized by all positive features, while at home, behind closed doors, he can be a inhuman person. Also in a relationship, he can have two faces, the loving one and the cruel one, where even the eyes of this person can be very cold, like he is someone else.
- in a relationship, he depends on what he gets from the other person

Navigating life after a narcissistic relationship: What to expect and how to rebuild?
Roughly translated, here are the main characteristics of a narcissistic person. It’s difficult to break away from a narcissistic person because you need to know how to prepare yourself beforehand.

Often court arrangements are needed too. Remember, there is always a way to sort it out. I will help you in all of the areas I can, and will refer you to other professionals as required.
Healing after narcissistic parental abuse: Recognizing the pain and reclaiming your life...
A narcissistic parent inflicts deep wounds, often escaping accountability, especially in environments where psychological or physical abuse is normalized. Despite increasing awareness around narcissistic abuse, many who experience it aren’t fully aware of what’s happened to them. Survivors of narcissistic abuse frequently blame themselves and may not realize the extent of mistreatment they endured. Once they encounter emotionally stable relationships or realize how happy they can be independently, they start to understand the depth of pain caused by the previous relationship. This awareness of abuse typically surfaces later as part of the healing process.
