How Narcissists Impact Mental Health

Narcissists impact mental health when they mainly focus on themselves and their personal needs, this will have a profound effect on the mental health of those around them.

Are you living or interacting with a narcissist? This can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.

Narcissists will prioritize their own desires and needs above anyone else's, which can result in emotional neglect especially if you are close to them.

This can lead to feelings of unworthiness and inadequacy causing you to doubt your every action, lowering your self esteem and self worth.

In order for them to feel in control, they will identify how to manipulate situations or people, guiding the situation to end in their favor.

Common tactics they will use are gaslighting, guilt-tripping, and emotional manipulation which is obviously harmful and can lead to confusion, self-doubt, and a distorted sense of reality for those on the receiving end.

When you are dealing with a narcissist be careful not to find yourself walking on eggshells around them and avoid their disapproval.

This constant fear of setting off the narcissist's anger or displeasure can lead to chronic stress and anxiety, which can take a toll on mental and physical health over time.

When you are in the presence of a narcissist in your life, it can have harmful effects on mental health, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and chronic stress.

It's important to seek support from friends, family, or mental health professionals to regain a sense of self-worth and well-being.

Reading and equipping yourself with knowledge will allow you to become stronger and reclaim what has been taken away from you.
