Cory Richards Instagram – Narcissism… it’s being talked about a lot right now. It’s something I touch on in my memoir when I’m recounting the story of my divorce.
I want to re-iterate what I say in the video; I’m not robbing anyone of their experience. There is absolutely real pain and harm caused by being in relationships with narcissists and/or toxic people.
The honest truth is that during the time period of my divorce, I certainly showed a lot of traits and behaviors characteristic of narcissistic personality disorder (or NPD).
It’s important to recognize though, that we all possesses narcissistic traits and sometimes and in some periods of our lives, in unhealthy amounts. This doesn’t always equate to having Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Labels can often provide a framework for understanding and processing our pain. On the flip side, overusing the label ‘narcissist’ can undermine its significance and even sometimes sidestep our own accountability.
