Grandiose Sense Of Superiority- Traits of A Narcissist

I am hopeful that by learning about Narcissistic Abuse and the traits commonly found in narcissists you will begin to understand that you are neither crazy or the problem.

If you are in a relationship with a narcissist you know something is very wrong. Learn here about the traits of most narcissists. One of the traits of a narcissist is to have a Grandiose Sense of Superiority but if you are in a relationship with a narcissist you already know this.

My narcissistic partner had this trait as most narcissists have. They believe that they are superior and this superior attitude enables them to wield their control and power over you and your children, causing fear and terror rather than genuine respect. Grandiose fantasies of unlimited wealth, status, fame, and power are not uncommon among narcissists, and in extreme cases, some narcissists do, in fact, create huge followings.

A narcissistic abuser, like my narcissistic partner, will use whatever tactics they must to gain the upper hand. There are so many abuse tactics and techniques, but when you break down a narc’s abuse into its simplest form, it is all about power and control.  The narcissist needs to feel all-powerful and better than you.

He is not better than you. No doubt if you have or had a narcissistic abuser in your life he would have told you he was smarter than you, he needed to always be the most right, the most competent, had to have everything his way, control everything and everyone or whatever other nonsense he fed you.

Interestingly enough, narcissists can also get that superior feeling by being the worst; the most wrong; or the most ill, injured or upset for a period of time. Then they feel entitled to receive soothing care and compensation with even the right to hurt you or demand apologies to “make things even.”

I hope this may be of some help to you on your path to healing.

Only love to you
