Narcissists live and work among us often going to great links in order to cover up who they truly are. What exactly is a narcissist? The term gets thrown around a lot regarding those with harsh personalities that have a tendency towards selfishness. But anyone who has dealt with narcissistic abuse knows a true narcissist goes far beyond that. Empathy is a completely foreign concept to these abusers. They are utterly unable to see a situation from a different perspective, they feel entitled to the attention, loyalty money and time of those who are unfortunate enough to get too close to them, exploitation is second nature. It's common for a narcissist to let others do the work. While they take the credit. The understanding of narcissism and narcissistic abuse is relatively new. Although there has been a lot of awareness regarding this type of person. As of late, it is still very difficult to recognize them for who they are until it's often too late. The abuse is so gradual that it's hard for the victim to determine what is happening. These egomaniacs know who they are, they are willing to do anything to cover up their traits and put on a good act upon first meeting. It typically takes about seven meetings until their true character shows, It is estimated that they make up 5% of the population. That means they number over 12 million in the United States alone. If each of these individuals abuses five people in their lifetime, that makes a little over 60 million victims. In the United States, that number is a conservative estimate. Many narcissists have large families, employees or subordinates working under them or a large network of friends or acquaintances that all have the potential to be victimized at some point in their life, emotional scars linger years after narcissistic abuse has ended, such relationships are very confusing, as the abuser can be so very loving and charming at times, residual effects go much further than depression and anxiety. The victim is left to unravel the complex and inexplicable behavior of the narcissist as they attempt to answer the question why they often think that there is something about their personality or behavior that invited the attention of such a cold hearted person. Questions of their discernment abound as they wonder if there were red flags that should have been detected, there is nothing wrong with a victim of narcissistic abuse. A narcissist is a master manipulator who can put on a convincing performance, which differs depending on the type of person they wish to draw into their life. Depression, anxiety and confusion are only the tip of the iceberg. The victim is also swayed into giving up many aspects of their personal life, such as their career, their friends and their family. Narcissists thrive on creating a situation that makes their victim dependent in some way. Often careers are given up because the narcissist needs someone to care for them.
