   ============================================================================   
      
   Narcissists Really Are Pathetic And Broken   
      
   Imagine that the only way you could feel better about yourself is by putting   
   other people down, sabotaging them, crushing them, turning others against   
   them. Entering them into a competition that they did not sign up for and   
   beating them at any and all cost. Imagine having such poor, pathetic character   
   that that's the main way that you operate in life. That's all you're capable   
   of. That's all you stand for, taking away the joy and fulfillment from other   
   people.   
      
   That's just pathetic. How empty, how shameless do you have to be to behave   
   like that? To treat other people as only existing to be a means to your end?   
   Being utterly incapable of ever truly wishing another well? That is a sad,   
   desperate existence.   
      
   They are emotionally stunted. They are not capable of the full depth of   
   emotion you and I am. They will never truly know love. At best the mimic the   
   appearance of love and think that's what it is. Now that is truly sad.   
      
   The narcissist already knows that he is broken. The narcissist hates himself,   
   has massive shame and expects everything he touches to turn to shit. His outer   
   defense is to deny and avoid that shame, because he won't get the attention,   
   energy, admiration and sex that he requires if he steeps himself in that toxic   
   tea.   
      
   To be clear, I'm NOT talking about covert narcissists, because I have no   
   experience with them.   
      
   Therefore, the overt narcissist presents a confident, powerful, indifferent,   
   ego-centric public profile. No matter his stature/height, he will be "Large   
   and in Charge," larger than life. In this case, the narcissist is 5'6", ugly,   
   badly-groomed, sloppily dressed and with an unseemly figure.   
      
   He's chronically depressed, frequently sunk into a pit of despair that he   
   tries to remedy by watching porn and being addicted to his image on Facebook   
   (mysterious, twistedly funny and politically "out there") with frequent rants   
   that were childish and offensive to many people.   
      
   So, narcissists don't have to "find out" they're broken. If you are hoping   
   that helping them discover their brokenness may lead them to an epiphany that   
   will turn around your Usenet relationship, don't.   
      
   Their brokenness is not fixable.
