What is a narcissist?
A narcissist is someone who has Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), which results in a person with an incredibly high sense of self -meaning.
NPD is defined as a mental illness And is generally associated with an “ubiquitous model of grandiosity, a need for admiration and lack of empathy”, according to the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM-V).
One of the best windows on what a narcissist comes from a narcissist themselves.
Jacob Skidmore I received a diagnosis of NPD and began to explain what it actually looks like because it satisfies people’s curiosity for life as a narcissist.
Diagnosed with NPD, Jacob Skidmore can correctly explain the prospect of a narcissist (Instagram/@the.namless.narcissist)
What does Jacob Skidmore say about narcissism?
Jacob previously opened in Ladbible About living with narcissism And how it affects it.
He said: “Nowadays, I am (obviously) very open to my state, but, as I am aware of the opinion that most people had on this subject, I haven’t talked to anyone for about two years.
“I know some people with NDPs who have spent decades without disclosing it for fear of judgment. It is the problem of having such a motivated disorder.
“It is difficult to tell someone you think they will judge you.
“Whenever I try to be vulnerable with my friends, it’s as if the shame caught the words in my throat and I can’t say it psychically.
“It is a palpable terror at the idea of something that thinks of something bad about me.”
Speaking of the way you could say if you were not a narcissist, Jacob previously made a video where he explained three main signs that you could use to tell you that you had no NDP.
Jacob explained that he had never met a narcissist who did not “do these things”, although pointed out that if you did not think that the signs applied you, that did not mean that you were not a narcissist.
“Do you feel like your emotions are authentic?”
It was his first question for people if they wanted to know that they were not a narcissist.
“Because for me, whether it is funeral or my friend who crosses a breakup or that I appear to make someone, I do so pretending to emotions, because I know what we expect from me,” he explained.
“The narcissists do not have these normal emotional reactions, we must imitate them half of the time.”
“Do you think everyone in the world has an equal inherent value?”
According to Jacob, this is the second thing you need to think if you want to know that you are not a narcissist.
He said: “Narcissistic, think hierarchically. It is an inconceivable for us that two people can intrinsically have the same value. For me, there will always be a better person and a person below.”
Then there was the third and last question …
“Do you love yourself?”
“Many people think that narcissists love each other,” said Jacob about the common perception around NPD.
“No, we think we are better than everyone. We could like what to look like. We could love our intelligence. But my internal monologue is a constant flow of ‘you are so stupid. Why did you do that?
“You are better than all these other people. How could you be so stupid? There is no auto love.
He stressed that he was “not a clinician” and could only speak of his own experience, so whoever wanted to know if they were narcissistic or not should go and seek a diagnosis instead of trying to resolve it themselves.
