In case any of you are wondering where I disappeared to, I’m coping with the aftermath of a weird break up. It was a long term relationship; the guy has Narcissistic Personality Disorder in its classic manifestation. I’ve noticed people use the word ‘narcissistic’ very randomly, when describing a person who is rather full of themselves. Most of them are unaware of the debilitating effect of this disorder on the people around the narcissist and the narcissist himself. There is not a moment of peace. The relationship is very intense and after a while it just eats away at your self-esteem, your hopes, dreams, likes, dislikes everything until you are reduced to just a pile of nerves or, as in my case, a bitter and sarcastic individual who has lost all faith in love. Still, I’m trying to move on and rebuild, but I understand that this might take some time. Just wanted to share my experience.
