Do you have a dick head in your life?

[BecauseICanAndWill]

So I have a dick head in my life, it's not someone I can cut contact with and it's not someone I can confront, between the delusions of grandeur and the most incredible sense of entitlement I've ever come across there is just no talking to this person.

They have a knack for making you feel shit with little digs whilst simultaneously bragging about their own life. Their problems are more important than anybody elses and everybody should drop everything in their own lives to support them and God help you if you don't. They are rude and selfish but constantly project their flaws onto others.

I am just about fucking done with narcissistic twats in my life but for the time being I'm stuck with this one so how do I deal? How the fuck do I not let this person get to me?

I have to be somewhat vague because I think this particular dick head might use this site, although having said that I doubt they'd even recognise themselves because it's everyone around them that is the dick head apparently

I know this is an ancient thread but I wanted to post on it to thank you OP.

Growing up, my mother drummed into me "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to know the difference." Last year was a challenge, sometimes parenting means taking the difficult route and when a judgemental uninformed rubbernecker is giving off waves of hostility you lose clarity and begin to think everyone around you thinks youre a dickhead. But it turns out that the ones who know you best don't think that at all, far from it. And the ones who do - fuck 'em . Cutting contact with someone you dislike is a gift for them, they're only losing someone who detests them and that's no loss at all.

When I saw this thread last year I'd forgotten the lesson my mother taught me and despaired. But almost a year on and things couldn't be better. When things aren't going right, there's always something you can do, always something you can change. Without seeing this thread I probably wouldn't have realised but it brought it into sharp focus. I hope things are better for you too, OP.

My friend , thankfully just got her on Facebook now and she has upped the narc anti no end lately. The Facebook statuses , she's Mum of the year . She thinks she's queen bee yet everyone around her absolutely bigs her up like she is the queen. What an amazing mum you are , yet they don't know 2 years ago she was days from having ss involved , she took an overdose infront of her oldest daughter and the police had to smash her door down . Oldest daughter ended up in therapy and in a bad way herself ...
But as long as everyone on FB thinks she's amazing !
I went away with her abroad and I was so miserable . She spoke to me like a child and I vowed never again .

The end of our close friendship came when she told me (with not ounce of shame ) that she was discussing my family situation with a man she was shagging off POF , who I had never met ! Thanks for that great friend , make me a conversation for gossip why don't you !

I used depression as a way to get her out of my life. I stopped all contact with her and now just see her updates and think OMG she's at it again ! Another amazing mum moment !
Some people just ain't good for your own mental health . Life is all about them . Let them get on with it .
