I saw a television special with him once. He focuses on NPD - and actually claims to be a narcissist himself I believe. I don't know if he has written about the malignant narcissist subtype, with sadism and paranoia being additional distinct features.

...without going through absolute turbulance and I am glad I opened up to him and for some of the times I tested him. I am not happy how I let paranoia take over my mind!!! My friend has expressed why he is friends with me and emphasised our friendship and that has also really helped immensely...

paranoia and social anxiety create many. many misreads in the cues my hyper-vigilance took note of and often cause me to over-react and/or slide into control freak mode. those misreads often trigger my fight/flight mode. equally, they often cause me to reject opportunities out of fear. in...

...drowns into that. Like by the time I'm actually better I may get myself into actual legal trouble or actual threatening situation. It maybe paranoia from sustained months and years of way too deep depression. It maybe that. There was something I was that afraid of last summer, and here I...

...until he gets what he wants. My dad constantly lies and says I imagine him abusing me. He left psychiatry in 2020 for depression and paranoia. He is your classic demestic abuser . My parents belong in prison. What they did to a innocent child with a serious development mental disability...

...know, not a replacement for a pro) and it indicated a probability of SAD. I also have a very difficult time responding to strangers greeting me the rare time (see; PTSD paranoia) I go for a walk. My mind goes blank; my vocabulary disappears. On a good day I can nod back. FML. Can anyone relate?

...estranging myself from my birth family. family members keep popping up at the least convenient moments to keep me believing it more than paranoia, but the search for evidence feeds my paranoia mightily. but that is me and every case is unique. steadying support while you sort your own case...

...him. It's very rare that I have a day doing nothing. Like 3 times a month max. And I have to admit there's still a level of distrust and paranoia from me towards them because of the complaint I made. I really laid into them and their behaviour changed toward me, they actually became...

He seems to hyper-focused on this subject. I can’t remember if you said he had some sort of trauma or mental illness but it’s not healthy that he can’t stop telling you about it. Maybe can poach the subject with him. Some self-awareness and discipline is needed here.

I have been married to a malignant narcissist for 20yrs an you can't even begin to grasp at how evil an cruel a person can truly be. Once He made sure I had no possible way of leaving, His cruelty was so bad people thought I was crazy. I was punished for his mistakes or worse he would place...

...gave me regular bursts of oxytocin by loving on me and it was so painful, I closed her out! Side note: oxytocin is a wonderful drug for social anxiety, autism, schizophrenia, and other disorders that may induce forms of paranoia. It’s also supposed to be really helpful for couples counseling!!

Hello @wicked juggalo , I'm sorry your suffering at the moment, I used to get really bad paranoia aswell. It's really bad isn't it, just the worst feeling. When I was younger at school and at college as an adult I used to just have to leave.

Sadists, NPD people, & Paranoids? Can ALL be reeeeeally good people. Or shit people. And everything in between. The disorders, in and of themselves, do not predict ethos/ethics/morality of the individual. Even if it often predicts personality. Putting all 3 together? Creates a very specific...

...to complete an online survey comprising five questionnaires (approx. 20-30 minutes). We will also examine whether factors such as paranoia, dissociation, and intolerance of uncertainty moderate the effects of childhood trauma on pain catastrophising. Understanding these complex interactions...

...(profound insecurity, excessive need to admiration, etc.). In addition, malignant narcissists are said to have symptoms of sadism and paranoia as well. Not sadism as in being a jerk and getting off on it. Sadism as in they involuntarily experience legit pleasure, a drug-like high, from being...

Gosh.. you just described my whole 35 years of existence. Sadly I can relate. Don’t have any advice to offer. Just want to tell you I can relate and am this way too. Much love and luck to you.

...separate from him. It is not on you to provide for all his needs, he’s capable of figuring that out. But both of you are feeding into each other’s paranoia and it’s not healthy. Hopefully now you can have a more full and rich real life with hobbies and community instead of being isolated in fear.

...and leave once I vent the chaos out. I tried so hard with my most recent and only friendship, or at least what I felt was a friendship. That paranoia never left even when he respected my boundaries at first. I have no personal life or any real connections because no one around me has gone...

for my psycho nickel, paranoia is part and parcel of hypervigilance. without the paranoia i would have useful, healthy vigilance to warn me of the clear and present dangers of life i could easily let go when the danger has passed and/or trust the precautions i have already taken.

...psychotherapy finished after AIT (advanced individual training). alas, the collateral toll of my own hyper-vigilance is heavily laced with paranoia. random targeting. self-abuse/sabotage, panic attacks and the like. dunno if that fits your case, or not. just sharing. . . i mostly wanted you...

...dental damage due to bruxism, dermatillonania, exacerbation of OCD (which worsens PTSD in those with both disorders), suicidal ideation, paranoia, agitation, heart rate and blood pressure increases etc. I think it's good that they're demanding more evidence for long-term sustainability...

I feel love, paranoia, anxiety, tiredness… I feel drained, disappointed, depressed… I really need to adjust my attitude and organize my day today. I’ve done a poor job managing things lately and I need to really figure some things out both as a parent and as like, one of these hyooman- beings.

...been anger turning into aggression if pushed. Being ex-mil, that's not a good skill for civilian life. Add hyper-vigilence going crazy to paranoia levels. Plus anxiety about everything. I reckon I'm not very stable at this time and dead easy to rile. Problem is I can't see that as I'm...

...I isolate myself, I’m avoiding almost everything possible, my once-loved hobbies abandoned, my desire for companionship extinguished. Paranoia drives me to check locks incessantly and watch my back always, always watching for things that can crush another body part, severe distrust in...
