Narcissistically Speaking
She was as sincere as a hangman’s
good morning might seem
and as tight as the noose that he waves
..
Yes the bitch she would lie
like a psychopath
without doubt, she could lay like a whore
…
Yet with no possible way to avoid those webs
of deceit she might skillfully weave
there was simply no way, to even the score

Narcissists also lie to themselves . They think everything is about them
.
I have spoken to someone in the past who I felt was somewhat narcissistic ‘ …
Your opening statement is an interesting one my friend & the answer is not as straightforward as many might imagine .. In reality, a narcissist may not be aware of his or her unconscious distortions and heightened defenses .. but may be somewhat cognizant of his or her behavior. it depends on the individual .. The main problem is, in the narcissist’s mind, the distortions justify the negative behaviors. .................................. I guess we all know one maybe ... I tend to work with loads of em .............................. Bless ya & stay safe and well ................. Neville
Thanks N. Oohh, have I met her yet?! I can't remember. lol.
I think even a Guinea-pig would remember Mr. O ...................................... you tell me 🙂
A friend of mine has suffered at the hands of a narcissist for many years, she has at last managed to get him from the house but he still thinks all is ok, he is an absolute swine as all who know him know too darn well.

the narcissist considers everyone a potential victim ... whilst believing themselves to be one .. cheers Andy .................................................................................................................................... 🙂
I knew her for about eighteen months of one 2 one. Finally i walked away from the best physical relationship and found someone else to do.
.. I am not only proud of you, but beneath this hard tho' otherwise shy exterior, just a little envious .................................................... maybe 🙂
So skillful your words Nev on the unassailable nature of the true narcissist who distort and are often quite unaware of it - -- I like the honesty too in the final line. A victim maybe of much painful past. history - - still smiling however at your opening clever comparison ........................x
just reading you here made me smile too ......................... thank you Fay .... x
great title, lol
I think you managed to capture
the hypocritical misogyny
in your portrayal, very well
mission accomplished cap'n Mek .................................................... 🙂
An invisible enigma of sorts, narcissism. I read somewhere that we all have a little narcissist somewhere within us. Very well written work sir. Very impressive.
I am indeed most grateful to you sir .................... thank you so very much ... N
It took a long time to acknowledge
It wasn’t me who was wrong but the one in front
Who thought always himself above me
He was a narcissist
And never knew when others around turned victims and lost themselves in self doubt
Beautifully put dear poet
I am torn between feeling sorry you could share such a personal experience & glad that you felt able to do so here on this particular page .. I am delighted though with your new found insights and of course, concluding remark ...................... thank you my friend ... Neville
Many a times a poet can make us nostalgic, overwhelmed and at times make us self aware
Thank you so much dear poet to make us emotional and courageous to air our thoughts
