Being put to shame is to have comparisons made and to see yourself as being flawed, but a refuge can be found, and hope can be restored.  I could see him withering under a hailstorm of accusations. He had a sexual addiction, and he was trying to stay true, but the pornography found on his cell phone sent his self-righteous friends into overload.  He was being ‘put to shame’  Being ‘put to shame’ is to make someone or something seem not good by comparison.    Read the post here [https://turningthepage.co.nz/do-not-let-me-be-put-to-shame/] Contact Barry here [https://turningthepage.co.nz/about-barry-pearman/]

Can you live with a narcissist? Yes, but it might just kill you.   Or it might just starve you from savouring life to the fullest. One of the most interesting quotes I have come across about stress is this one from French journalist Jean-Louis Servan-Schreiber What I fear most about stress is not that it kills, but that it prevents one from savouring life.

What does perfect narcissism look like? We can see it in the evil of Satan.    I read a list the other day about the characteristics of those with narcistic personality disorder. 1. Grandiose Sense of Self-Importance: They believe they are superior and special, deserving of exceptional treatment and recognition. 2. Exploitative Behavior: They manipulate and take advantage of others to get what they want, often without remorse or guilt.  3. Arrogance and Conceit: They often come across as arrogant and boastful, displaying a sense of superiority. 4. Difficulty Handling Criticism: They react negatively to any perceived criticism, becoming defensive and angry.  5. Preoccupation with Success and Power: They are often fixated on fantasies of success, power, brilliance, or beauty. 6. Entitlement: An unreasonable expectation of favorable treatment and special privileges, believing they deserve more than others.  7. Lack of Empathy: Difficulty understanding or sharing the feelings of others, often dismissing or invalidating their emotions.  8. Need for Admiration and Attention: A constant craving for praise, validation, and attention from others, often seeking it through manipulation or grandstanding. 9. Envy: Experiencing envy of others or believing that others are envious of them. 10. Unwillingness to Accept Responsibility: Blaming others for their mistakes or failures, rather than taking accountability for their actions. I think I could add an eleventh characteristic and this comes from those who have been entrapped by a narcissist into a long-term relationship. 11. An Attractive mask: They have such a beautiful, alluring presence to them that it’s not until you’re deep into a relationship with them that you are able to see behind the facade.   Read more here [https://turningthepage.co.nz/satan-perfect-narcissist-bible/]
