NOMINATIONS CLOSE TONIGHT
Let's all have fun. There are some truly amazing posts and marvelous sites nominated. I hope everyone who sees this takes the time to really look at some of the nominees. I haven't seen one blog that was nominated that isn't worth some of your time and thought to at least take a look & appreciate!
My thanks to JBlogs, which has helped me find a whole new world of stuff to read and consider That's what blogging is about, after all.
That said....
Pathological Competitiveness
by Kathy KrajcoI often describe narcissists as essentially mental three-year-olds, and troubled ones at that. But, as with anything, you can view it from different angles to see more about it.
Another way to understand narcissists is as pathologically COMPETITIVE. They compete for every bit of ego gratification as if it were the last bit on earth. As if they were starved for it. They gotta have it all. All the attentions, all the respect, all the sympathy, all the credit, all of everything that makes life worth living, all that makes people feel good about themselves. They gotta have it all and would rather die than see you get any.
Of course, that is childish, isn't it? As everyone knows, one must teach three-year-olds to share, because they won't if we don't make them.
That's why life with a narcissist is a never-ending fight. The spoiled narcissist knows that if he grasps at and fights over what he wants (or wants to deny someone), the normal people will just let him have it rather than fight with the imbecile.
