What we’re about
Hello! I am a (non-medical) person whose life has been severely impacted by a Narcissist, as has my entire family. Trying to make sense of something that is so illogical to me, I recently dove into some of the research, including the five different "categories" of Narcissism. From this, I learned a lot about different symptoms and tactics of the Narcissist -- especially the Covert/Vulnerable variety. This knowledge has given me the my ability to protect myself and as needed, to push back hard.
Recently, I came to believe two things: [1] That I have gained some knowledge worth sharing -- especially with respect with to the "Categories" of Narcissism and specifically to the larely unknown "Covert/Vulnarable" variety; and [2] That it would benefit most of us impacted, to learn from the experience and wisdom of OTHERS who are like-minded. Therefore, I decided to look for a local, in-person "support group for Narcissism," and was quite surprised to come up empty. Thereafter, a very soft voice whispered into my ear: "Carpe*...Carpe Diem***..." and so of course I had no choice but to move forward.
Co-hosting this Meetup is a good friend who has been subjected to a different variety of Narcissistic Personality Disorder than myself. The two of us have done our best this past year to laugh occasionally, even while wading through the absurdity and consequences of what human beings will do to one another. We hope to facilitate a somewhat "Light" conversation on a very "Heavy" topic. Attendees may share their experiences and hard-earned wisdom on topic, or simply listen and empathize with the others.
** Finally, please keep in mind these three very Simple yetVitally Important Rules:
[1] Do not talk about Narcissism Club;
[2] Do NOT. TALK. ABOUT. NARCISSISM. CLUB;
[3] If you don't appreciate the first two rules, you MAY. NOT. LIKE. YOUR . HOST.
Peace
