Dear friends in #LinkedInFamily,
Today I wish to share a personal perspective.
This is not easy for me.
But I truly believe this will also help #AddValue to people’s lives.
The topic is #Narcissism.
This is a very complex subject, like an addiction of some form, where they search for their "supply", which we do not see.
During my days with COVID in December 2020, I asked myself many questions, about where my life has gone, and I started to ask deeper questions.
In the last few months, I followed linkedin.com/in/dr-ramani-durvasula-49105632
Read two of her books, “Should I stay or should I go?”, and “Don’t you know who I am?”.
And viewed dozens of her YouTube videos. Yes, this opened my eyes.
I urge you to take few minutes to read or watch any of her work.
It will blow your mind.
We seem to give excuses, but this mess never ends.
It’s sad to realize that I have wasted most of my life.
Maybe one good thing about being close to passing away, was that you start to realize the mistakes and wake up.
This is extremely personal, but I wish to share to help anyone out there.
1. Yes, I used to think that if I gave more, accepted more, done more, sacrificed more .. it would fix itself. Sorry, but I was fooling (and killing) myself, and no matter how hard or how much I did or gave .. it was never enough, and in the end .. guess who gets completely destroyed in every way possible, and gets the blame?
2. Yes, I used to think that I was smart enough to find the “root cause” and reverse this. But once again, even when I thought I uncovered the cause .. I was not able to repair or reverse anything.
If you are in a toxic work situation => leave and do not throw away your life for someone else’s parade.
And if you are in a toxic relationship => get help, you CANNOT do this alone. Please read the books, watch the videos, and take a step back to take a good look at your life.
Yes, many caught in this cycle may see themselves as victims, but you were just perpetually easy targets.
And once you get out and recover, you will suddenly have a clear mind and will unleash your true potential, and soar in the sky.
Please read the books.
Please watch the videos.
Judge for yourself?
Please don’t throw your life away.
Yes, I am here to help, if possible.
Sincerely,
Aroop

4 年Dear connections at Psychology Today, I had just seen your recent article and felt triggered to share this with you. There is "so much" that simply slips under our radar, and even then .. we tend to write it off as "it's normal". But it's not normal, we just get told over and over again .. and its how we allow bad behaviour to grow even further. Do share your thoughts as well on my article, as I am trying to raise awareness, and help people. Sincerely, Aroop
