Life presents variables; learning how to cope in order to master, minimize, or tolerate what has come to pass.
The Disgust Narcissists Feel Toward True Intimacy and Tenderness
Intimacy, and a lack of appreciation for tenderness, intimacy, and other people. So here you have a person who is extremely entitled. They are entitled to all that they desire, simply because they desire it. They are also entitled to be seen as a person other than who they actually are.

Narcissists and the False Narrative of ‘Allowing’ Abuse
Because it’s not possible to allow yourself to be a victim. This is victim-blaming 101. It takes the responsibility off of the perpetrator and suggests that the victim just isn’t “enough”. A million vulnerable weak elderly folk could wander around leaving their wallets out, and I wouldn’t rob them. If I rob them, then I’m a victimizer. Period.

The Scapegoat and the Golden Child: A Narcissistic Mother’s Tactics
Because the scapegoat is watching. (alternately, people are watching) The narcissist doesn’t “parent” to improve the wellbeing of their child. They don’t have normal parenting instincts. Instead, they have a need to be seen or perceived in a certain way. They have a need to be in power, to be validated, and to see and keep others down.

The Aging Narcissist: How Their Behavior Gets Worse with Time
The aging narcissist becomes more and more narcissistic as they age. Becoming elderly is a normal part of the developmental stage of life for most people, but not for the narcissistic. They may have always been somewhat narcissistic, but it becomes worse as they age. Especially when the midlife crisis catches up to them. This is where you will see them trying to hold on to what is left of their youthful years. Dressing younger, getting plastic surgery in an effort to look young, going to the gym to alter their body, or buying a sport or luxury vehicle to impress or attract younger victims. Some will even divorce their lifetime spouse only to get involved with or to remarry a younger victim, because this feeds into their need for narcissistic supply. Even as they age, they still want and need to have their ego constantly stroked.

Yes, No One Will Ever Believe Me: The Only "Bad Child" Among the Pentagons
Yes, all my life has been rebellious, self-thinking, stubborn, unthankful, unforgiving, and anything bad you can think of about bad kids. If you don’t know right about now, I am still regarded as one. To some, I could be seen as someone who aims too high, to some I could be seen as someone trying to put myself in a piece of clothing that is not fit for me. Hey, they see me as someone who is not thankful and appreciative and most time I just sit in a self-absorbed meditative manner and think through my dear life, and I wonder why a family would even backstab someone instead of going straight to what they want.

The Depths of Enneagram 4: Introversion, Intuition, and Individuality
In terms of psychological health, Enneagram 4s may be found in a wide variety of forms, sizes, and degrees. Concerning a person’s psychological health, the Enneagram or the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) must be a primary focus of any analysis. It is impossible for a healthy four to be similar to an unhealthy or ordinary four, and vice versa.
