How to get away from a narcissist
Post reply image
on May 07, 2019 (Read 251 times | Comments: 3)
Hi everyone, I?ve been dating this guy for awhile now and he shows all the textbook signs of a narcissistic personality. The thing is when it?s good, it?s really really good, but I?m really not sure if the negative outweighs the positive anymore. As much I love him, I know I love myself more but trying to break free of his ?Prince Charming ? ways just seems to be more than I can do. He knows exactly what to do and when to do it. Does anyone have any advice?

If you are still with him, and you truly believe he is a narcissist person, RUN! A narcissist believes very highly of themselves, they believe others are inferior, they cannot have a normal relationship. He will manipulate you and control you to get what he wants. In the end you will have no self worth. So if you are still with him, RUN FAST! Imagine if you had a family, what he would be like towards your children? Not what you want him to be like, but what he really would be like! Imagine if you had a daughter, and she brought a guy home that was a narcissist, what would you tell her?

i dont think so it is a good idea to leae someone who is going through a mental health condition. Narcissism is basically is a mental health. You may read about it from these depression treatment blogs like https://www.ridofdepression.com/depression-affect-lives/

RN with mental health experience here. Yes, narcisssism is a mental health condition, but it's not the same as depression. Not all mental health conditions are created equal, and there are verying degrees of severity. Without having ever met you or him, it's hard to give more specific advice than what I'm about to say. First of all, it can be difficult for some people to tell if they truely care for the person despite their mental health problems, or if the narcissist is manipulating them. Narcissists are master manipulators, and will pull you in deeper the longer you stay with them. This will make it that much harder to untangle yourself.
Assuming you do want to leave him, the best thing to do is to confide in at least one trustworthy person who cares about you and is willing and able to help and protect you if necessary. Then just get out. If you do this and feel that there is a chance of danger, a local social worker would know about more recources than me.
