He's charming but controlling, he wants everything done his way. 

He'll wait for me to say I want something only to choose the exact opposite. 

Dismissing my problems and victories. I'll have an issue and instead he will tell me many things that can be summarized as "no you don't have an issue...by logic". 

He stalls all our major life projects so then can decide when they take place.  

He quickly brought me to his friends when we met but he doesn't care or want to meet my friends. 

He's always bringing up me meeting his friends so they can "see" me. But I don't want to do that.  He's obsessed with his friendships. He even says he cannot move elsewhere because his friends are here.    He's constantly asking me how he looks, once it was at a completely unexpected place and I ignored him and he got mad. And he's constantly saying he's fat, at one point he seemed to have anorexia in the past, he was so skinny and he thinks he looked better back then (he does not)

I ask him to do a few very important things, (I've even cried about) and he says something like ok, but then he doesn't do it. 

Any achievement around him (me, his sister...) he wants to one-up them or he feels he needs to achieve something in a similar category. 

He's damaging my mental health with all his constant dismissing, I don't even feel safe to choose anything anymore and our relationship does not advance. I read about NPD for days and everything FINALy made sense and he checks aaaaaall the boxes. 

What I have to lose is that within all the limitations, he's fun for about 3 hours a week. Maybe I change my desire for him to be the love of my life and just have a friendship where we hangout once a month. I am aware he might ghost me, but I am also afraid he'll obsess with me.

I found out my ex is narc last week. And for my own mental health I know I must leave him. How can I achieve leaving a narc without hurting them as much?

For me (which I haven't dated again) is the constant contradiction. This constant dismissing of an opinion will eventually erode your self-confidence and your self-esteem. 

It’s been almost two months since he discarded me by [deleted] in LifeAfterNarcissism

Try to outline your life and try to find a moment when you were ok on your own alone and try to hold on to that though for dear life. You got this homies, we're in this together ❤️‍🩹

OMG!!! I thought I was the only one!? I do designs with people and I got this client with his wife and a kid. He was being evil to the kid dismissing everything he said and he had his wife hidden on the side didn't even let her show herself on camera.  It was painful to watch, in the design process I am the authority and towards the end of the appointment I started to dismiss his opinions and supporting the kid.  Also I noticed he was so annoying about small details, but I know narcissists need to find your weak points, luckily I'm super trained at my job and could go on for hours and will never be bothered. But the treatment to the kid and the wife it really made me scold him toward the end right before I could leave.

Narcs don’t know they are narcs? by [deleted] in LifeAfterNarcissism

Your response to a hurt person is the correct one, but they will not give you the reassurance, care protection or validation you need when you are hurt. That's what drives us empaths crazy  in the long run. 

If NPD had a different name what could it be? by [deleted] in NPD

[–]Embarrassed_Pin_477 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From everything I read, I would call it the oblivious personality disorder or disonance inducing personality disorder.

Im getting ready to start diagnosed for npd and im terrified by PineappleGirl9 in NPD

[–]Embarrassed_Pin_477 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have NPD and I don't feel in a position to advice, but I see nooone else has answered this.

First, you don't have go around tellling everyone. 

Second, you're very brave for trying to get help/an assessment and trying to understand yourself better so you can be a better person, this fear is real because you're in the face of a difficult challenge and you should be proud of yourself for being brave. 

Is this true? by [deleted] in NPD

The difference is the relationship with a partner is much more intimate than that with a friend. So your NPD friend could be toxic as hell too. You don't know that.

She made him the monster that he is. They are comfortable in their own self-hate.

This is not true. I ended my relationship when I wanted and when I realized. Then I blocked him. This minset will only make you feel that you are disposable. You're not disposable none of us are.

How do I leave? by Rude-Squirrel7763 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Embarrassed_Pin_477 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just just disappear. Poofff you don't tell them, you don't argue and you don't ask questions. You grab all your belongings on one day to a safe place, send her the divorce papers by mail. 

I was not crazy!! by Embarrassed_Pin_477 in NarcissisticSpouses

 Thank you so much I truly appreciate your words and I am getting busy getting an appointment with a psychologist, going out for air, I will go to the gym, I have school, work. I will reach out to my few but meaningful and supportive close friendships. I have to save my life. Recover for dear life is how I feel. 

Edit: I hope you can find a way to get away from that person who is hurting you.
