Hi there! I am someone who if given the option can read books all day, without even sleeping. I love binging on TV shows, with Game of Thrones being my favorite (duh!). Apart from that, I am passionate about writing and can write anytime and anywhere.

The Minds Journal i think you are misunderstanding the meme, it does not mean the same thing the way YOU said it! while yes narcissists keep their ex’s around probably so they can still use & control them. however, it does not mean that EVERYONE who is friends with an ex is a narcissist!
Stereotyping Propaganda. I hate these articles that generalize the hell out of a condition. My xn hates me and has his heart set on destroying me. Pure nonsense.
Psychopathy: A Misunderstood Condition Psychopathic personality is widely misunderstood, and there are a host of misconceptions regarding this condition. Psychopathic personality (psychopathy) is NOT equivalent to: • Violence • Serial Killing • Psychosis • Mental Illness (Psychopathology) in General • Antisocial Personality Disorder
Psychopathy IS: A constellation of traits that comprises affective features, interpersonal features, as well as impulsive and antisocial behaviors. The affective features include lack of guilt, empathy, and deep emotional attachments to others; the interpersonal features include narcissism and superficial charm; and the impulsive and antisocial behaviors include dishonesty, manipulativeness, and reckless risk-taking. Although psychopathy is a risk factor for physical aggression, it is by no means synonymous with it. In contrast to individuals with psychotic disorders, most psychopaths are in touch with reality and seemingly rational. Psychopathic individuals are found at elevated rates in prisons and jails, but can be found in community settings as well.
To label someone ether of those is extremely ignorant and irresponsible. Psychopathy involves a rigourus checklist to determine whether or not some is. To say some one is based on one stupid thing like the above mentioned is beyond simple minded. Educated yourself, it’s more productive.
Because they don’t have friends! They may have associates through work or spouses. They don’t have friends because they point out any and all deficiencies in others, or, they make them up. They do love to invent! They are very very evil cruel people.
No, true psychopaths create an illusion to keep the friend/lover coming back to them, but eventually they will turn it all around by making the other individual feel bad enough to keep them away from them, but still torture them with other semblances when they do come back, such as showing off an engagement ring to one who they know likes them, or the flowers or nice cards that someone else has given them. While that is a form of jealousy in and of itself, there is also the rationality that when they show off these things, it hurts the other person’s emotions, which they typically do not care about. This sadism allows the ego of the torturer to rise, and instead of quitting, they do it more. So when something of this nature occurs, know that it will most definitely happen again. Don’t waste your time.
Friends??? Ahhhh , i would say i’m civil…past is past i have move on already. Just respect each other for having separate lives. All i want is for him to be happy for me and the kids. Anything that deals with the kids is fine beyond that a big NO
These Damn studies, they do on adults and kids ,the ones who do them are the ones who have the problem and are the problem. No wonder kids today are a mess,
Of course not!!! If you tend to move on and being happy for each other’s lives now, then that’s good. Treasure the good memories and let go of the bad ones. I always believe that if things won’t work out good for both of you then you don’t have to force it. I have experienced some breakups but I always move on to give more value to myself. I always want to stay friends at least to my ex’s. I would be happy if he’s happy after us.. and I also want him to be happy for me.

Nonsense
Agreed! The opposite is often true.
Or maybe they are just mature and don’t feel the need to hold on to hate?
I would have remained friends with all my ex’s. There was no reason to hate just because we are different and don’t agree on everything.
Some people work better as friends as opposed to couples. It definitely requires maturity though.

Not necessarily. Sometimes friendships are just more important than romantic relationship of any sort.

Seems unlikely to me. I’ve known people who were able to do this but they’ve all seemed pretty well adjusted and emotionally healthy individuals
Anna read this lol

…they continue feeding off each other…{if there are no kids involved}…move on…otherwise you will encounter trust issues in new relationships…
This is bull shit..narrow minded stereotypical theory..oh yeah..I’m psychotic..Hahaha..

I can see it, because narcs get supply from any kind of attention, positive or negative, so it’s possible for 2 narcs to stay connected.
What bs
Nah…..sometimes thats all they were to begin with ?
