Those who have an extreme competitive streak may have been raised by parents with toxic narcissistic qualities, have warned psychologists.
Being a chronic human pleasure is another meaningful sign that the parents of a person bear the disturbing personality traits that are linked to mental disorders and relationship problems.
Professor Wendy Behay and Dr. Craig Malkin say that there are six meaningful signs that your parents can have these characteristics and revealed in a recent interview how they can break the cycle and not copy.
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a mental health status characterized by a ‘penetrating pattern of grandeur, need for admiration and lack of empathy’, according to official sources.
It is estimated that a maximum of one in 20 people in the UK can, to a certain extent, suffer from the condition, whereby experts such as Profs Behay claim that it has been too little diagnosed.
Prof Hary, who specializes in the treatment of people with narcissistic personality disorder, and director of the Cognitive Therapy Center of New Jersey, warned that the first meaningful sign that someone was raised by a narcissist is that they are unable to say no.
“They can’t say:” I matter, I have needs, “she said Huppost.
Dr. Craig Malkin, a prominent psychologist, explained that children of narcissistic parents feel ‘sick, crazy or selfish to express the most elementary needs’, making them a complete push-over in later life.

Another important sign that a person was raised by a narcissist is proof that he himself has a toxic personality.
According to Dr. Malkin are these poisonous properties-inclusive manipulating situations to make others feel small, gas light and guilt feel-very learned behavior.
That is why it is not uncommon for ‘own will -powerful children, who are more extroverted from birth, to become narcissistic in a game of’ if you cannot beat them, add to them, ‘he said.
The experts added that children of narcissistic parents will often be overcompetitive with their brothers and sisters.
“Extremely narcissistic people like to put people on pedestals – almost as much as they enjoy to turn them away from them,” Dr. Malkin out.
And fourth on the list: “You spent your entire youth extinguish fires and maintaining peace.”
According to Prof Hary, children of narcissistic parents are often much more charged with the emotional toll of life than their parents, which means that they sometimes feel more like a partner than as a child.
She said: ‘It is the feeling of drama that the child feels that they have to deal with. To do that, they really have to lose a lot of their own congenital youth needs. ‘
Joan Crawford, played by Faye Dunaway in Mommie Dearest, is often said as an example of a narcissist, because of the offensive behavior of the film legend to adopted daughter, Christina
Those who are proud of external validation, through school and adult life, may have been raised by parents with poisonous personality traits, the experts claimed.
‘The child of the narcissist teaches that the only thing that matters is what [they] Can produce in the world, “said Dr. Malkin.
This is because Narcissists often have an extreme need for a higher performance and social status that are worth praise.
Finally, the experts revealed that children of a narcissist often struggle to form a feeling of themselves.
This is because narcissistic parents often try to depict deputy by living their children and pushing them into a career they had wanted for themselves.
‘Many children of narcissists will say:’ I have always had the feeling that I was ready to be more a reflection of mine [parent] Instead of being my own person, Prof explained.
Those who show narcissistic tendencies, often learned from their parents, are more likely to develop psychological problems, have relationship problems and to struggle with resource abuse, according to studies.
Having a narcissistic parent can also cause brothers and sisters to drive apart because they both fight for the spotlights with one child who often gets a lot of praise, and the other guilt and resentment.
Other examples are American Psycho who focuses on the protagonist, Patrick Bateman, own narcissism, characterized by his distorted self -feeling, mood swings and feelings of emptiness
This rejection can lead to children taking the same toxic qualities as their parents, for fear that they can be ridiculed by outsiders.
However, the experts said that this destructive cycle can be broken.
“Children of narcissists who notice that they focus the name and swing insults are not without hope, but they have to roll up their sleeves and work emotionally.”
To break the cycle, the psychologists said that the first step is to acknowledge that the needs your parent did not meet when you were a child and to practice acceptance.
Dr. Malkin continued: ‘[Children of narcissistic parents] Must be comfortable feelings – and expressing – vulnerable feelings such as sadness, loneliness, fear and overwhelming with those they love. ‘
However, he warned that in some cases a person raised by a narcissist should consider limiting contact with their parents in later life.
The three most important warning signals that a parent can be a destruction of life are abuse, denial and psychopathy.
In this case, psychopathy – dressed by a web of lies and manipulation – means that this person may have the ability to empathize with others, Dr. warned Malkin.
“Nobody should ever tolerate emotional or physical abuse, and if parents cannot acknowledge that there is a problem in the first place, there is little chance that something will change.”
He added: ‘Abusers are 100 percent responsible for their abuse, and only they can stop.
“Until they do that, interactions will not be safe.”
