We hear this word Narcissism being thrown around a lot these days. What does it mean? Is the person I am dealing with a Narcissist?
Narcissism is a spectrum disorder, which means it exists on a continuum, ranging from a few narcissistic traits to the full-blown personality disorder.
We as daughters of mothers with Narcissistic traits can be on the receiving end of the moods and behaviours of a mother with some or many of the narcissistic traits.
Compliments make us feel good, both giving and receiving them.
Compliments help us communicate that appreciation we feel toward one another. "I would define a compliment as any sort of sincere appreciation of a trait in someone or a behaviour or an appearance", Berger says. And that makes us feel good.
"Compliments can be a useful tool to nurture and enhance relationships", says psychotherapist Lindsay Liben, LCSW. "Ultimately it contributes to deeper, more intimate connection".
Do you struggle with just being you?
Do you struggle with creating and maintaining your Personal Boundaries?

Most of us have trouble setting and also keeping boundaries when it comes to personal issues and relationships. The more personal the relationship the harder the boundary to keep.
A little planning and forethought can go a long way.
