Psychopath and Narcissist Survivors Support Group

Hey I was just wondering if you watch Dexter on Showtime? I just watched the episodes with Miguel a killer he becomes friends with then has to kill. He was a DA and seemed more Narcissistic than Psychopath. Dexter is an extreme psychopath/sociopath I know since he is a serial killer with a code but I find the dialouge in his head interesting. Do you think psychopaths think like that? Are they meticulously aware of what they do? Aware of others lying and ways?

Out of the blue, for example, my ex P was cooking in the kitchen and suddenly he would say "Scallywag!!" then laugh with a weird look in his eyes. I would be like wtf? I even asked him why he would say that. He said that word a lot with no rhyme or reason. In the 8 years we were married he never answered why he would say it. I looked it up recently and found the definition:

1. scallywag - a white Southerner who supported Reconstruction policies after the American Civil War (usually for self-interest)

2. scallywag - a deceitful and unreliable scoundrel

3. scallywag - one who is playfully mischievous

I found it eerie!!! And years after our divorce and rare contact he once sent me a text out of the blue that said "Feed me Seymour". Like from the movie "Little Shop of Horrors". A blood thirsty manipulating alien plant. Creepy. I can't help but wonder if he means them this way. Like he is flaunting who he is in a weird way. Any thoughts?

Question:

If the narcissist becomes self-aware, if he accepts that he is a narcissist, isn't this the first, important step, towards healing?

Answer:

Narcissism defines the narcissist's waking moments and his nocturnal dreams. It is all-pervasive. Everything the narcissist does is motivated by it. Everything he avoids is its result. Every utterance, decision, his very body language - are all manifestations of narcissism. It is rather like being abducted by an alien and ruthlessly indoctrinated ever since. The alien is the narcissist's False Self - a defence mechanism constructed in order to shield his True Self from hurt and inevitable abandonment.

Question:

How does a narcissist experience his own life?

Answer:

As a prolonged, incomprehensible, unpredictable, frequently terrifying and deeply saddening nightmare. This is a result of the functional dichotomy – fostered by the narcissist himself – between his False Self and his True Self. The latter – the fossilised ashes of the original, immature, personality – is the one that does the experiencing.

The False Self is nothing but a concoction, a figment of the narcissist's disorder, a reflection in the narcissist's hall of mirrors. It is incapable of feeling, or experiencing. Yet, it is fully the master of the psychodynamic processes which rage within the narcissist's psyche.
