I read somewhere that the mark of a
narcissist in relationships is the constant
"place a person on a pedestal" versus
"person being the worst ever"
when I was trying to figure out my
narcissistic tendencies and if
a more distant lover was a narcissist.
I have seen this, been on the receiving
end of this,
so it doesn't surprise me when it,
again,
happens.
I have been on the giving end of this,
and the thing I find most important
in these situations is to not deny the
love you have for a person
even if you feel badly about them.
It only serves to damage both parties.
