Read online “While You Tried to Become a God… The Painful Path of a Narcissist”, Irina Mlodik – LitRes

From

This book is not typical for our publishing house, but we decided to publish it, and here's why.

The problem of narcissism - a personality disorder that significantly complicates the life of both the person himself and his loved ones - is more relevant today than ever. The number of daffodils is constantly growing. And that in itself makes the book timely.

The genre proposed by the author is the best suited for the reader to understand and feel the essence of narcissistic disorders. The book includes a work of fiction describing the manifestations of narcissism in everyday life, and an article that analyzes the symptoms and psychological essence of narcissism, as well as outlines the conditions for psychotherapeutic work with such clients.

On the one hand, the phenomenology, the “living tissue”, the daily manifestations of narcissism and the “nutrient environment” that gives it the opportunity to take root in a person become visible and tangible. Surely the characters presented on the pages of this book are painfully familiar to many of us. On the other hand, emotional immersion, "affected" that arise in the process of reading help to understand and feel what exactly is being discussed in the article, which provides an analysis of the symptoms characteristic of narcissists. Thus, the reader gets a vivid and full-blooded, but at the same time structured picture of the violations observed in narcissism. And, most importantly, the non-specialist reader has the opportunity to realize that the habitual picture of the behavior of loved ones can be changed by contacting a psychotherapist for help.

Parents may be able to realize how detrimental to the child's personal development is constant comparison with others, humiliation, expectation of brilliant results from him, often dictated by the best of intentions. After all, how often are mothers who tell their children: “You must be the best! Look at Vanya (Manya)! ”, They believe that in this way they create an incentive for the development of the child. And then, when he becomes an adult, they wonder: why can't he make decisions on his own, why is he angry at the whole world and unhappy? They begin to look for the culprits in the environment of an adult child, not realizing that this is largely the work of their own hands. How often do wives (less often husbands) who go all out for their narcissistic "other half" feel powerless and helpless, unable to satiate the unquenchable thirst for recognition, becoming a means of overcoming the deepest problems of narcissists.

Specialist readers (psychologists and psychotherapists) are equally interested in a holistic picture of narcissism – a combination of life manifestations, phenomenology and scientific analysis.

So let this book serve as a warning to parents who satisfy their ambition at the expense of the child, an occasion for reflection for those who live near daffodils, and an assistant for specialists.

While you were trying to become a god…

The painful path of the narcissist

Dear readers!

Here is an unusual project. This is an artistic guide to narcissism - a novel and a psychological article in one book. Both the novel and the article are about people with narcissistic disorders. I suggest you look at the life of narcissists from two points of view: the people who live next to them, and the psychotherapist who works with them.

There are many narcissists, and there are some in your environment. And this book is a chance to learn more about them.

Irina Mlodik

My warmest thanks:

to my parents for their support; sister Marina for interest, participation and hospitality; Asya Kamenskaya - for professional help, interesting ideas and understanding; Genesis publishing house for always warm participation, highly professional cooperation and ability to take risks

Dedicated to my husband Vlad V., who said: “It's time!”

“Don't you know? All the books have already been written!” he said to me once a long time ago. And really, what else can you write about? About love and war, people and mice, victories and defeats, incredible adventures, riddles and secrets - everything has long been written by a series of brilliant writers, as well as even more simpler writers and a myriad of those who would be better off forever remaining only readers. “All the books have already been written” sounds like a sentence.

And I agree. When you are already over forty, then, having read a lot of smart and truly talented books, you begin to understand: it is no longer possible to surprise anyone. Nothing. Anyway, me. But I want to! If not to surprise, then at least so, to tell ... To express oneself, so to speak. Reveal yourself to the world.

If I said this to him, he would slightly roll his brown eyes: “God, who cares about your self-expression!” Although this is exactly what he himself has always dreamed of: to express himself in such a way that the whole world understands how brilliant he is, so that everything around starts to move, and then freezes in mute delight. And then ... but the picture of what would happen next is not drawn in any way, more precisely, it falls apart.

Now he is recognized, what next? Much money. It's nice. So? Popular. Great at first... then tiring. Then some kind of emptiness ... And then they begin to forget him. Because, it turns out, they had to be surprised again! This means that he needs to prove himself again somehow in a special way! Necessarily new, fresh - otherwise it's not interesting. Otherwise, after all, they will say: “It was already worn out to holes, you are secondary, guy, and it doesn’t matter what is in relation to yourself. You have gone into circulation, ”and they will turn away. They will turn their backs on the one who so surprised them! They hung on his every word and obsequiously recognized his genius! He was sure that now he will always be a genius. So what?

You shouldn't have started. That's why he doesn't express himself. Because it's pointless, you understand? Yes understood. What's not to understand?! I am a fool, and you deceived everyone.

With him, I almost always felt not enough ... smart, beautiful, appropriate, charming, professional - depending on the circumstances. How did he do it? Easily. A barely perceptible trace of suffering appeared on his face every time something far from perfect happened. And since perfection happened, frankly, very rarely, then suffering was almost his natural state, and I could not help but feel it, being next to him. And, unfortunately, I could not help trying on myself. Separate from him, my imperfection did not bother me at all. On the contrary, when you can afford to be anything: a naive fool, a serene gouge, a cheerful hooligan, an incendiary bitch, life is somehow more interesting. With him, for some reason, I began to be ashamed of my imperfection and became somehow truncated, angular and awkward, like any person who is ashamed.

Our "centenary" acquaintance did not change anything in this scenario. He suffered, and I fell under this suffering, like a civilian under bombardment: suddenly, unfairly, with losses and injuries. For so many years, I have never been able to get used to the expression of disgusted suffering on his face and not to correlate this grimace with my own person.

In fairness, it should be noted that he was very good-looking, smart, charming. Many women went crazy over him. Fortunately, only in a figurative sense, otherwise there would not be enough beds in psychiatric hospitals for them. Besides, it would spoil the statistics a lot. Russia is ahead of the rest in crazy women!.. In short, he was good. Our Roman, who does not write novels, with whom I (thank God!) did not have an affair.

We met when he was still a journalist for a very fashionable Moscow newspaper at that time, which turned yellow over time. During periods of mania, he was sparkling, tireless, hyperactive and inimitably witty. He sparkled with ideas, shone with charm, could lead entire cities with him on some dangerous, but heroic campaign (at least, his female part). At this time, he felt perfect, almost divine. He could do anything, he just wanted to. All this extravaganza could last for minutes, days and even months, but it was always interrupted in the same way: by a sudden mistake, a miscalculation, someone's fleeting criticism or discontent. And he was instantly blown away: his eyes dimmed, the glow, and after him the charisma, disappeared completely - our Roman was rapidly diving into depression.

During such periods, he was completely unbearable both for us and for himself: all journalists are mediocre, the boss is a freak, women are hopelessly stupid, life is meaningless. If he opened his mouth, it was only to complain that everything hurt. Or to moan that in this country, which has turned into a huge belly of Gargantua, absorbing everything indiscriminately, a truly smart and intelligent person will never be appreciated! Never! In a country that laughs at Petrosyan, chews fast food, reads romance novels, there is nothing to catch. There is nothing! Understood? Yes, I understand what. Everyone is morons, and you are a genius, unrecognized, abandoned by everyone and eternally suffering.

Depressed, he practically could not work, because everything that came out of his pen was "monstrous" by his transcendental criteria. Although in reality - just sour, just "so-so", like ninety percent of the articles in his newspaper. But he considered it impossible for this disgrace to see the light, which plunged his wife Valya into a state close to panic: Roman was the financial hope and support of the family. With his dismissive non-participation in all other family affairs, Valyushka has long resigned herself: she raised two absolutely wonderful girls, ran the household, fed our genius with excellent lunches and dinners, and also managed to work as a literature teacher in an ordinary Moscow school. She possessed extraordinary kindness and patience, which only a truly loving Russian woman can possess. And he loved her, I guess. Anyway, I've always wanted to believe it. Otherwise, how unfair the world would be...

I loved her too. It was always good with her. A smile, comfort, a delicious smell from the kitchen, foreshadowing a lovingly prepared dinner. She managed the incredible: to fuss at the stove, while smiling and listening carefully. Even her back seemed sympathetic, compassionate and attentive.

She could have been told everything: about how I hid the described tights behind the battery in kindergarten, and told my mother that I had lost it. The first time I got drunk in a student hostel. How she carried change from her father, how she pulled off chewing gum in the store, and much more ... And never, not for a second, feel bad. In her sympathetic and at the same time shining eyes there was: “well, it turns out that it happens!” or "poor my, how did you get it." With her, I always felt good, not like with her beloved Romanchik, especially during periods of his acute melancholy.

- Why don't you write something worthwhile: an essay, a feature story, a short story, a novel, after all? Tired of his depression eroding everything around and my own tediousness, for the hundredth time I asked hopelessly in the vain hope of adding at least a little light and constructiveness to the darkness of his hopeless longing.

- About what? Who needs it? Don't you understand that this redneck doesn't need anything? They dream of only one thing: when they return from the factory, to rest their stupid faces against the telly, they are even too lazy to look at the TV program, they will be better off pushing the buttons on the remote control!

– Come on, not everyone is like that, there are also normal people – those who read good books…

– Well, who? How long have you seen these?

- Well, I, for example, Valyushka . .. We would be very happy to read your novel or story, or something else, it doesn’t matter ... - I stammered under his favorite suffering look: “Stop talking nonsense!”

Who am I? I'm forty now and I still don't know who I am. More precisely, I'm already over forty ... This is unthinkable! When my parents were as old as I am now, it seemed that they were living out their last years, that a forty-year-old was not an adult, but an elderly person. Am I an elderly person? Unthinkable! I don't feel it at all...

I am twenty at most, I am full of energy, I have everything ahead of me, and in general - I have not even begun to live! I am still afraid that someone will scold me or be dissatisfied with what I do, how I live. I still try, try for someone. As in childhood. You get an unexpected five - and life immediately gets better. You are sure that you are loved, and you feel good, and it is obvious that you can do everything! So you live in serenity and intoxication with life . .. until the next puncture.

One small failure, a bad mark, a parent's cry, the boss's displeasure - and everything fails, you become miserable, small, insignificant. Nobody loves you like that. This can not be abandoned only out of pity or out of the expectation that this worthless creature can improve and rehabilitate itself. It is at this very moment that all forces leave, and only one desire appears: to sleep and not wake up.

The feeling of my own insignificance is unbearable, it corrodes the remnants of self-respect, erases grains of meaning, threatens me with a great Rejection, and then I want to reject everyone in the world, in general, this whole world, to refuse it, throw it out the window and draw the curtains. Stay in darkness and silence, hear the beat of your own heart and understand that you are alive. Live without them all. To understand that it doesn’t matter to the heart whether I’m bad or good, it continues to beat, it doesn’t betray me, I’m always there for it.

But it is impossible to renounce everything, because the world calls me to itself: I need to go to work, go down the subway, I need to pretend to be a father and husband. And then there is nothing left for me: I begin to hate the world, from which I cannot shut myself off. I can only spit it out through my hatred. It somehow helps to live. Perhaps because an illusion appears: having destroyed this monstrous world with the power of my disgust, I can then rebuild a new one - according to my own rules and laws. A just and righteous world that I will rule!..”

Well, why did I always want to move him towards the light, at least a little, especially at such moments when his depression-night was gloomy, stuffy, akin to insomnia on warm and wrinkled sheets? What do I need the most? What am I, his mother?! How quickly and inexorably my inner "rescuer" grew in me, a kind of mother Teresa - the abbess of a shelter for orphans and the poor. She, they say, could not sleep until the last poor man was fed, the needy was not blessed, and the orphan, who lost his fortune and parents in addition, was not consoled and did not look to the future with hope. It was hard for me in Romashkin's depression: I did not feel so insolvent and helpless with anyone else. My God, how my Teresa tried to overshadow that high and gloomy forehead with a ray of light and hope. All in vain.

Even Valyushka's warmth, hundreds of watts more powerful than mine, was unable to melt the heart of this hopelessly frozen Kai, who wanted the word "eternity" to form on its own. Wow, if I knew this Snow Queen, who treated our talented Kai in such a way, I would ... I wouldn’t be able to do anything. Moreover, I knew this Queen - Romashkin's mother.

A woman-power (it is no accident that the word "power" is feminine), a woman-career, a policewoman (there is a mistake with the feminine). Although no, there was very little truly feminine in her, except perhaps: a carefully styled hairstyle, an impeccable suit, well-groomed hands, incredibly expensive shoes and a bag always matched to her tone. If Romka's contempt was brightened up by his personal suffering, then her arrogance and contempt killed even through quite intelligent manners and a forcedly polite smile, demonstrating only the impeccable work of the most fashionable and expensive dentist in Moscow. If in the presence of Romka I just felt "not enough ...", then the Snow Queen plunged me into a state of complete and final insignificance, like a small kitten in its first puddle on the floor.

In her presence, the only way out seemed to suggest itself: cease to exist. Freeze, pretend to be inanimate nature: for example, some kind of stone. She did not scan the inanimate with her freezing, perfectly lined eye, did not evaluate, did not destroy. Then it was definitely possible to survive. I knew how to pretend to be a stone, but Roman and Valyushka did not. What happened to them in the presence of the Queen is hard to even describe. Every time Teresa's heart bled with liters of saving blood, watching this next act of a family production called "The appearance of the Queen Mother to the only crown prince who still did not live up to her expectations."

At first, she considered Valyushka a misunderstanding that happened to her son, who, through an oversight, fell into a student gap and showed disobedience incomprehensible to her cold and rational mind, which allowed her to marry this peasant rascal in secret (!) from her loving mother. Having delivered several quite convincing and devastating speeches on this occasion to her “not knowing what she was doing” son, she was convinced that the misunderstanding in the form of the already pregnant Valyushka would quickly dissipate, like a short nightmare that had a dream in the morning. But Valyushka did not dissipate, and therefore the Queen soon appointed her "inanimate nature", which she usually does not even honor with a glance, let alone a word. All seventeen years, the kindest woman on Earth tried to please this Iceberg. But Iceberg did not even touch the fragrant dinner, nor the tea, nor the famous Valyushka's pie, which even those who never ate with gusto ate with pleasure. From Valyushka's gaze, a child who fell into an uncontrollable hysteria calmed down, the most aggressive teenager ceased to squirm, the rudest man in the subway stopped swearing and was embarrassed, like a student student. But nothing could affect Lady Iceberg.

I think that the Queen deliberately tried not to look at her daughter-in-law in order to avoid these spells and not to melt water from tenderness and joy that her heir got such a miracle. But if it weren't for Valyushka, Romchik would almost certainly not have survived: either he drank himself or would not have come out of some particularly rapid depressive peak.

Although the Queen thought quite differently: her son's talent did not fully reveal itself and did not show the world a new financial genius precisely because of his early marriage and his own softness, inherited from an unreasonable father.

“Your father” was the only way she called a person who had once been near at the moment of the crushing collapse of her Komsomol career. It was he who dared to approach the lady whose presence made everyone, without exception, small, worthless and useless. On that day, confusion and fear appeared in her eyes, making her just a small, as if guilty and lost girl, sitting on a party leather sofa. Just then, he put his warm hand over her manicured pale hand, and then said what men usually say in such cases:

- Let's go, I'll feed you dinner. I'm a good cook.

And he brought her, defeated, to his house. Feeding her really tasty cooked food. I listened to her indignant speech about how she was treated unfairly. “They still don’t know who they contacted ... They will find out yet ... And after all, who??? Well, who would have thought? - and so on, for four and a half hours. He looked into her eyes admiringly all the time, warmed up dinner three times, poured wine. When she, in another fit of impotent rage, sprinkled her snow-white cheek with a tear bitter from resentment and anger, he hugged her and then did not let go all night.

She left him after a couple of months when she realized she was pregnant. A fat and good-natured gynecologist, taking off her gloves and smiling dreamily, said:

- You will have a child, probably a boy, dear, and a very pretty one!

- A child is not at all in my plans now. I need a referral for an abortion, and please hurry, I'm late for an important meeting.

- My dear, with your data, abortion excludes the possibility of pregnancy for you in the future. Therefore, you will not receive a certificate from me, especially since your pregnancy is developing perfectly, - the stern gynecologist stated peremptorily, from whom all good nature and rusticity flew off in an instant.

He was the best doctor in town. Best! And the Queen had to yield to competent opinion. The “best” were indisputable authority for her, besides, she already understood then that she needed an heir, and therefore the birth of our genius Chamomile was predetermined.

His father paid for the indefatigable joy he showed when he learned about the child. Although they would have parted anyway with a probability of two hundred percent, they were so different: “ice and fire”, no, “ice and stove”. "Flame" Romkin's father, of course, was not. But the stove - yes. Warm, lively, hospitable, soft, understanding everything. Neither give nor take - Russian stove.

It is clear that the Queen, who quickly mobilized and came to her senses after dizzying crashes, did not want to melt away. Moreover - she considered it dangerous, because the heat relaxes, leads to a loss of grip, rigidity, vigilance. And you can’t trust anyone, she always knew about that. And the next lesson presented to her by fate, she now learned well and was ready to retake it for five. Moreover, she was not used to getting deuces from childhood, since at one time she was mercilessly beaten by her own mother even for random fours, which completely disappeared from her diary by the fifth grade.

The queen mother did not often visit her son's warm and cozy home. For a while, she generally preferred to meet with Roman only in restaurants, where one dinner cost as much as five Valyushka's salaries, and Romashka choked on delicacies, thinking angrily: "It would be better if she gave me money." But she did not even think of giving him money. Never. Even when the granddaughters were sick and needed expensive medicines. As a result, our Snezhnaya, of course, got medicines, but not a penny of money. But for no reason at all, she could buy him an expensive suit or branded coat. But what is an expensive suit or coat, paired with cheap shirts, bad shoes, and a battered bag? Absurdity, grotesque. Although Roman so liked the feeling of these wonderful things. The fabrics caressed the body, the shapes and lines were impeccable - all this perfection was so attractive, but impossible ... because the shirt, shoes, bag ... Restaurant, suits, cars with drivers who took him to Butovo, literally hovering over the dirty Moscow highway - it was part of the royal plan. In her small, well-groomed hands, power was kept over the bowels of some kind of bank, or holding company. She had a huge world. And she liked to possess. Truly a Queen, nothing more, nothing less. Only one thing, apparently, escaped her fingers: she did not dispose of a controlling stake in the fate of her dear heir. At one time, she had made an unfortunate shortcoming, for which she was now paying.

Little Romashka often got sick in the ecologically unfavorable atmosphere of an industrial town in the middle lane, where at that time Snezhnaya stubbornly and prudently, like a real climber, climbed the party peaks. And therefore, although with little reluctance, she still regularly sent him to the most peasant woman in the village with the hunting name "Fox Holes" - to the mother of Romka's father.

Baba Masha for Romchik was a real angel. Somehow, as a child, he came across a picture that depicted chubby babies with wings.

– Why do they have wings? - Romka asked his cousin Kolka, who always keeps him company in all children's tricks.

- Because they are angels. Have you never heard of angels?

- Are they like that? The angels must be old, like Baba Masha, - Romka stared at his brother with distrust, and the distrust had a good reason: Kolka very often, with a very convincing look, rapturously lied.

Angels couldn't be like those obnoxiously plump babies with faces like they have a whole room of cotton candy in front of them, and that makes them a little embarrassed. Angels - they are wise, they save people from a wrong step, they are guardians. Romchik especially liked this word. Guardian angel. He protects you and also knows, probably, something very important, some kind of secret. His guardian angel, no doubt, was Baba Masha, only she seemed to him worthy of this great mission - to protect him, Romka, and be the keeper of great secrets. And let the babies be in the service of Kolka, he, the dunce, it doesn’t matter.

So, the keeper of secrets, the ever-busy woman Masha really loved Romchik in a special way, never confusing him with her other grandchildren, whom she, starting to call, went through all one by one: “Vovk, Sergunka, Mishk, fu you ... Kolya, you need to run to the store, come on, dear, quickly, dinner is in time for you, and you have already dragged all the bread in the morning!

For her, he was always "Daisy" and for some reason she wanted to protect him most of all from the whole world. After all, he is so impressionable, so smart, knows so much. And how he tells! I would listen and listen to him while the hands do the work. And her heart always ached when she looked at him: thin legs, arms like two twigs, huge eyes, and two dimples from her father on such thin cheeks. And most importantly, his mother is a cold woman, even harsh, like winter. It was often cold in the Fox Holes, they chilled the house - you couldn’t drown it. Here she is. Chamomile is afraid of her, she cries every time when it's time to return to the city, she cries so much ...

How to live with a narcissist?
What if you work under or live with a narcissistic boss? It is useless to appeal to his mind or feelings. People with narcissistic and paranoid traits are not introspective. They consider themselves to be flawless. Although they need help, they never seek it and will not be grateful to you for pointing it out to them. Living with a narcissist is simply unbearable.

You are in danger - it is up to you to decide whether to adapt, tolerate or distance yourself from the narcissist in order not to become a victim of him - emotionally, psychologically or physically. Interaction with narcissists is exhausting and debilitating. You did not come into this world to be the plaything of an abuser or a manipulator. They will continue to use and humiliate you. They will never treat you as an equal or think about your well being.

Of course, after a relationship with a narcissist, it will be difficult to readjust, the result will pay off the effort, you'll see!
