> Maybe I need a narcissist friend and exchange notes
I know you're making a joke, but be careful: you are exactly the kind of person a narcissist will latch onto and take advantage of.
> not believing I deserve anything actually led to people treating me badly in the past
People who treat others badly will seek out people with self-esteem issues, because they will come back for abuse again and again. Whereas a person with high self-esteem will not put up with abuse.
Good luck with your self-esteem boost!
- whatevertrevor 4y ago> People who treat others badly will seek out people with self-esteem issues, because they will come back for abuse again and again. Whereas a person with high self-esteem will not put up with abuse. Not just that, that kind of relationship presents itself (at least on the surface) as the comfort zone of both parties. The narcissistic end gets the validation and self-esteem boost. And the person with more self-doubt hears what they already believe in (even if they're trying to change it). That's why it can be a dangerous path because a narcissist (pretty much by definition) is not there to help you make progress, they're there to reinforce their own ego.
