“Narcissists are unable to regulate their self-esteem without ongoing external validation.”
“Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is the name for a series of coping strategies that began as an adaptation to a childhood family situation that left the person with unstable self-esteem, the inability to regulate their self-esteem without external validation, and low empathy.”
“People with SPD do feel emotions. They actually feel more emotions than they can handle.”
“Everyone I know with SPD has yearned for a close, safe, intimate, and loving relationship. The problem is that they do not feel safe around other people. They have no basic trust.”
