One moment, you feel loved and adored. The next, you can't do anything right, and nothing you do is good enough. Narcissists have often been described as having a \u003ci\u003eDr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde\u003c\/i\u003e personality. They are unpredictable and unstable. You find yourself walking on eggshells around them, worrying about what may set them off next. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIf you're in a relationship with a narcissist, it's critical you understand the pathology of their personality and why a relationship with them will inevitably drain, exhaust and confound you. Underneath the flashy exterior of the narcissist is a fragile ego, which requires constant attention and validation. The implications this has on a relationship are far more damaging than you may realize. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe narcissist will only cause you pain because they are incapable of love and terrified of intimacy. They will push you away when your relationship becomes too serious, and manipulate and abuse you, for as long as you allow it, or fail to recognize it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the beginning, they put on a brilliant act to secure your love. However, the only reason they enter into a relationship is to ensure they have a constant source of narcissistic supply (i.e. YOU) to stroke their insatiable ego and indulge their obsession with themselves. They are secretly sadistic and enjoy frustrating you. You need answers to understand why this relationship is so difficult, yet intoxicating, at the same time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSurviving the Narcissist\u003c\/i\u003e provides the answers to these questions and more: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat is a \u003ci\u003epathological \u003c\/i\u003enarcissist?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy can't they love or accept love?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy do they dread intimacy?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat is \u003ci\u003egaslighting\u003c\/i\u003e?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy do they keep coming back?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy can't I stay away?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition, \u003ci\u003eThe Six Steps\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSeven Mantras\u003c\/i\u003e within this book help you reconnect with yourself on a deep level and begin to practice the kind of self-love you deserve.
