>>40777299 (OP)Narcissists (genuine NPD) are actually something of a blessing to be around. I know this is going to sound a bit weird, but the narcissist serves a divine purpose.
This might reshape how you interact with these types. The main purpose they serve are to as a personal catalyst for growth. They “force” you to grow and to live up to your greatness good. I can expand more on this, but i think this will suffice as only you would ultimately know what your greatness personal good is.
Secondly, They are a mirror of the “collective” shadow. They force us to confront our own behaviors we see in them and dislike (they act as a mirror of our own bad behaviors). They are a bit of a disruptive force that unstablizes us and makes us find a new sense of balance. One could say there is a chance to “transmute” chaos into order.
Last thing i would say about these narcissists is they offer us one of the most difficult tasks in our souls “circulum”; unconditional love. It may sound cheesy but if you can practice forgiveness without forgetting they are a deeply flawed individual (who was likely a product of disfunction themselves) then you have reached a level of heart-mind congruency that will align you with your highest potential self (this is the precursor to the christ/unity consciousness).
Take the time you need to fill your cup back up; I too have been a lighthouse for these fractured souls, love doesnt mean you are a doormat. Practice discernment, trust your intuition, create/enforce boundaries, protect your privacy, and most of all - love unconditionally!
May God bless you on this journey, its not for the faint of heart.
