Do you suspect that the person you’re dating is a narcissist? How can you tell if you’re dealing with a narcissist or just someone with who you don’t get along personally? Take the self-assessment test here and find out if you’re involved in a relationship with a narcissist now.
How do you know if you’re dealing with a narcissist?
Nearly anyone can end up in the clutches of a narcissist, whether they’re your spouse, boss, friend, parent, co-worker, or even child. This isn’t something that just happens to certain “dumb” people, or to those who are in any way lacking – in fact, it most often happens to intelligent, capable and empathic people. A lot of times, you’re in deep before you know what hit you.
In fact, most of the time, it’s not until you’re totally codependent that you even realize that there’s something kind of…off…about the person you’re involved with; and it’s not until you’ve become incredibly, deeply infatuated that you find yourself here, looking for answers.
A narcissist can be charming, especially when they’re in “acquisition mode,” also called love bombing or hoovering – but once they’re sure they’ve got you wrapped around their little finger, you’ll begin to see their true face – and trust me, it’s not pretty. But how can you tell if you’re dealing with a narcissist or just someone who isn’t right for you?
Take the Test: Are you involved in a relationship with a narcissist?
That’s why I’ve developed this brief quiz to help you figure out whether you’re in a relationship with a narcissist, or there’s something else happening. It won’t cost you a thing – but it can help determine whether the person you’re concerned about is a narcissist – and whether it’s directly affecting you.
