Do Narracist know they are a Narc?

cnaforevernalways – I can’t help but notice that he didn’t say that he loved you.

Some narcissists/sociopaths have been diagnosed and know their diagnosis. Many narcissists/sociopaths are aware that they are different from other people, even if they do not know that they have a personality disorder.

Here’s the key – if they are, in fact, disordered, then they are not capable of love. Plus, since they have always been disordered, they have never truly experienced love, and therefore do not know what it is. Some equate love with sex, so if they say they love you, they mean they want to have sex with you. When it comes to kids, some narcissists/sociopaths are willing to take care of them in the same way they will take care of a car — make sure it has gas, runs well, and put it through the car wash from time to time. They may consider providing maintenance as love.

Here’s another issue – even when narcissists/sociopaths know they are disordered, they still don’t feel like anything is wrong with them. In fact, they often feel superior to the rest of us. They do not experience distress, so they have no motivation to change.

Do sociopaths actually know what they are?

Good to remember.

Hi there! It is a great post! I would like to share my personal experience about my life in university. I have just finished my studying and like allmost all of learners tried to combine studying and a part-time job. But , if you know, it’s so tight to be in two places at the same time and to study well. Only this company helped me a lot to made my life so much easier than ever, so I highly advice you to click on their online free paper writing service webpage!

Yes I agree with Donna that they know they are different, even if they don’t know it is a personality disorder.

And agree that they believe it makes them superior to regular people. They see empathy and honesty as weaknesses to be exploited. So to them it is superior to lack empathy and to be free to lie whenever convenient. They are unburdened by morals or the law or a conscience. They can get very far in life because it is so easy for them to use and exploit people.

And I think they can love their children as an extension of themself. But that love will turn to hate if the child is “defective” in some way in their eyes.

These results suggest that narcissists do indeed have self-awareness of themselves and that they know their reputation. Check us out

Good post guys!
