Individuals with narcissistic tendencies do not usually seek help until they have reached some crises in their life. If you have reached that point and perhaps lost your family, your business or your job I really feel for you and if you haven’t I really hope that we can encourage you to get help before you reach this point.

You should also be aware that these tendencies are not just present in men. If you think this can’t be you because you are a woman, think again. Are you honest with your partner? Do you take responsibility for your own bad behaviour, or do you blame it on your husband or someone else?

If you believe that the problems in your life can easily be blamed on others, what power does this really give you? Upsetting people to try and show your superiority does not make you powerful. ‘A man is as good as his word’, the saying goes and this applies to women as well. Can you be trusted? If not you will always (deep down) feel alone. Being able to count on and trust yourself would be a good goal for you to work on first.
