A narcissist is someone who makes you feel less than human. They are self-centered individuals who always assume they are superior to others. They are master manipulators, and being around them is toxic, often leading to various traumas and mental illnesses. Dealing with such individuals for an extended period may result in permanent trauma and psychological repercussions. This video will show you ten mental illnesses that can arise from interactions with narcissists. Let’s dive in.
Paranoia
Paranoia is a mental condition that causes people to be unsure of their desires. They may not trust anyone else and can be frightened of criticism. Being with a narcissist puts a strain on your mind, as they may use manipulation strategies to emotionally abuse you. If this is repeated, it can lead to dread of being judged, indecisiveness, difficulty trusting others, and fear of betrayal.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Narcissistic parents often raise their children to be the “best” version of themselves based on their own designs. This upbringing may result in OCD behaviors, such as a fear of contamination, a need for order, and a desire for symmetry. These individuals may also experience unwelcome thoughts of not being enough.
Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD)
Being raised in a home with a narcissistic parent can be difficult for children. Narcissistic parents often push their children to excel to gain their approval. If children fail to meet these standards, emotional abuse may occur, leading to CPTSD. Symptoms can escalate to hypervigilance, nightmares, and constant uncertainty about their ability to please their parents.
