BPD is often prevalent in toxic households. Symptoms include unpredictable moods, anxieties, and worries. This disorder can be created by narcissistic parents who abuse their children emotionally or, in the worst cases, sexually. A person mistreated by their parents may enter a relationship with a narcissist, leading to a destructive cycle. This can exacerbate BPD symptoms, especially if they have a fear of abandonment.
Psychotic Disorders
Abuse or trauma from others can lead to psychotic disorders. Psychological or emotional trauma, whether intentional or hereditary, may cause a person to develop psychotic episodes if the abuse continues over time. Growing up with narcissists can induce tension, worry, or sadness; if not addressed, it may lead to a psychotic disorder, causing individuals to disengage from reality.
Panic Attacks
Living in a toxic environment, especially with a narcissist, can trigger panic attacks. These attacks are well-known in health discussions and are common among adults suffering from social anxiety. Panic attacks can manifest after arguments with a narcissist, leading to symptoms such as chills, sweating, and a racing heart.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)
Narcissistic personality disorder is often inherited but can also be created through upbringing. A person surrounded by narcissists may eventually adopt similar behaviors. They see themselves as perfectionists and believe they deserve the highest status. This disorder often stems from parental neglect or other forms of abuse, leading to a lack of empathy for others.
In conclusion, while narcissists may seem inherently evil, they too are victims of a brutal world, needing compassion.
