The Narcissist In Our House

The Narcissist In Our House

There is a person with narcissistic personality disorder
In our house.  This fellow is loved by some who want
To keep him where he is.
How do we know he suffers from this disorder?
Here are some tell-tell signs of this person:

No Empathy

 This person can put on a good “caring” show in his effort 
to manipulate others for their own personal benefit.

No Remorse

He doesn’t feel bad about any wrongdoings Why? 
        There is no conscience, no compassion, no concern about the impact of their behavior on others.

.
Entitled

This person hold rights in his perverted thinking that others would never assume.
He lives in a world in which he has privilege which is
beyond your imagination. 

Whether he is objectifying you, raping you or ruling your life.
 He believes he deserve what he seeks when and where he seeks it because it is already his, before he asks.

Deceptive

He will tell you whatever he believes you need to know in order to get what he is attempting to extract from you. 

To him, a lie is not a lie; it’s a mechanism to leverage outcome. 

A misrepresentation of information is the twisting of facts designed to convert another into compliance with respect to that which he pursues

Emotionally Dependent

He require the emotional support and admiration of his narcissistic supply as oxygen to sustain him. 

He truly cannot function naturally and normally without the object of his narcissistic abuse serving as the foundation for his existence.

Uses Battering for Control

And when his narcissistic supply is in question, battering becomes the way to level the playing field. 
It is his means to shift the power and control within the relationship. 
It’s his way to tip the scale, so he gains the advantage he needs to feel on top again.

This battering may present as verbal abuse, emotional abuse, financial abuse, sexual abuse or physical abuse. 

It’s the striking, maneuvering intended to diminish and dis-empower so as to nourish the deficiency in himself.

Wonder when our family will take the necessary action to get him out of our house.

I was drawn to the title of this poem, and I sense this is analogous to the current state of the US. Great poem, and I do believe the description fits. Blessings.

Eileen, don't understand how I missed your comment. It is as if it is just a dream to hame someone like him in our W.H.

A very accurate description of a narcissist. Get rid of the person. Could the house be our politicians and the perpetrator Donal Trump? A fine poem. Kai

Kai, our politicians dance to the tune of the person in charge and not to the people who got them to our house. Its sad to see our house full of small minded people. Thank you for your comments.
