Other people catalyze in you reactions. They generate them in you. Lacan said that the unconscious is an internalization of other people. In object relation theory everything is relational. Other people are critical,they control your inner space. When this triggering by other people becomes overwhelming we get autism. Autism is avoidance of others. And the avoidance of process of othering. Othering is recognition of existence of other people as external

The autistic person is incapable of othering. Because he is overwhelmed with stimuli coming from other people. Autistic people avoid othering. Same applies to borderline PD people. Othering implies that other people are not you and can never be as you. You're reliant on yourself 100% to be you. When othering fails in narcissism, you are critically depended on other people in order to be you. Leads to repetition compulsion, can't see others as separate.

When you fail to other your self, when your self fails to develop, you end up without an ego. You internal structures are disrupted and chaotic, and disorganized –it's a failure of othering the self –it's pathology. When you fail to other people, when you don't regard them as separate or external, or not you – it's a pathology. Othering failures are pathologies. Possibly most severe. Psychosis is major othering failure. Fantasy is attempt to compensate.

People need to embrace their own nothingness because if you are something, you are outside God. God includes everything. To become a part, you must become a nothing to become a part of God. To heal God, you must mend the vessels. As the Kabbalah puts it, you must disappear in order to reappear as God. It's not that God inside you. It's that you are inside God. The relationship is reciprocal. Your mental illness is God's mental illness. God has to heal.

There's a big caveat here that almost always gets missed in content regarding social anxiety disorder: someone can exhibit all the same symptoms listed for SAD, but if they are really autistic, then the treatments/therapy for SAD can do a lot more harm than good. For autistic people, fears associated with social situations are usually coming from a lifetime of failed attempts at socializing.
The fear isn't "irrational"; it comes from real, repeated trauma (CPTSD) —

If I unintentionally cause a mortification to a narcissist, should I apologize to him/her?
- No contact.
Mar 6
Because narcissist impose a Shared Fantasy in all types of relationships, not only intimate but in friendships, workplace, church, army, whenever someone can serve narcissist as source of supply, the narcissist impose Shared Fantasy. In shared fantasy, he is god and you are worshipper. He is in control, you are coerced. So advice is: no contact. No Contact is set of 27 strategies that I designed in 1995 and it's still best advice there is.

Second advice is you cannot go no contact (you can't lose your job, can't move away), is gray rock. Gray rock means to render yourself uninteresting to the narcissist. A bad source of narcissistic supply because you're “stupid” or “incapable of curiosity”, not a worthy object to be owned. Don't draw attention to yourself, minimize yourself. Hide yourself. If you are forced to stay. My first advice is to disconnect, resign. Because it can end really bad.

If narcissists are mortified, narcissist can be narcissistically injured – it's when you challenge, undermine the grandiosity in some way – the self perception or self-image. You cause them discomfort by doing this. But they can also be mortified. Narcissistic mortification is if you shame the narcissist inadvertently even! In public. The narc is giving presentation but you raise hand and say "Sorry this slide is wrong". Mortification. You become enemy

Are exceedingly vindictive when exposed to mortification. This is known as external solution of mortification. So when a narc is shamed or humiliated in public in front of audience that matter to him – he's going to ruin your life. Period. He focus on this

This makes some people think they can lash out at us and take out their bitterness on us. It makes them think that they can boss us around.

How many of us are hiding? Because of things we've gone through, hiding our potential. Hiding our personality, hiding our smile. You have so much to offer but the way many people handle hurts, failures and disappointments is to isolate. To disengage. Turn their feelings off. Push down any emotions. Not pursuing any dreams. They show up at work but they're not really there. They have great ideas but they never share them. Defense mode, not participate, hiding

When a narcissistic person seeks someone it's because it works for them. And that means supply and often status. So if you were doing well – that made you quite attractive to them. What happens to our self-esteem once we are in narcissistic relationship is an entirely different story though. Folks with lower self esteem may be more prone to getting stuck in these relationships. Devaluation, invalidation, self blame are more automatic.

You healthy self-esteem would represent a threat in this relationship. And we get indoctrinated into silencing ourselves. So we never leave narcissistic people. Feeling small, as if we're competition. When we get out of relationship our self-esteem can restore.

And people may assume that you’re arrogant or that you think you’re better than them. But you’re just trying to avoid the toxicity.

Although often overlooked, sensitivity to emotions is one of the most common symptoms of high functioning autism. These individuals can function in day-to-day life but struggle to control their emotions the same way that neurotypical, or non-autistic people, are able to do. For example, a frustrating morning experience like running out of milk or being cut off while driving can cause irritability and difficulty concentrating for the rest of the day.

Once they are fired up for a fight, they can be incredibly cruel, because all they can comprehend in the moment are feelings of resentment and anger.
As a result, an argument about the smallest of issues can escalate quickly/fiercely.

Objects is fancy word for other people. If we do not have a strong sense of object constancy we begin to irrationally question the reality of our relationship to that object in its absence. It's about what they form perceptually in their minds when you're not there. Not what we form together, architecture, structure of this relationship together, all goes away when you're not there. When hands are not there and I can't see them, clinginess.

We're only going to feel negative emotions if people have a reaction towards that we agree on some level. “Why are you not blonde?” If it is something that I don't have a judgement about at all, blonde being better, I don't have reaction towards that. If someone says and I don't have problem with that, I'm not going to care. More so, I am not going to think about what that person thinks in that instance.

Transactional relationship – you see people as having some sort of value and something that you can gain from them. And what that does is you put certain people on a pedestal. And when you put people on pedestal it makes you try to compensate. So you think you need to offer as much value as you see that person holding, in your mind. That's why when you see someone cool – you can't be yourself. You don't see yourself worthy enough to interact.

Because we're leading with authenticity, we are more likely to be finding compatible partners who are also sharing. This does not mean that this process does not take time, easy – but process will not be contaminated. As insecure, we learned authenticity is not to get the way our needs met. Our authentic was rejected. Some part of our identity becomes something to hide or obscure. This leads to development of false Self, social mask to get acceptance.

Insecure attaching style – we are navigating the world in some way using an unconscious strategy to get connection. Rather than using unfiltered authenticity to get connection. Insecure – the way to make people like us. Anxious: hyper-fixating on what the other person wants from you and mold yourself into the kind of person that you think they would like. Avoidant: focusing how to stay self-sufficient and independent. All this happens on unconscious level.

When we are insecurely attached we necessarily have unmet developmental needs. Those needs are unconsciously driving us when it comes to partner choices. So if I feel at my core like I am not that competent or capable of navigating the world on my own, I'm going to be unconsciously searching first and foremost for a partner who seems incredibly competent and skilled. Enough so that they completely take care of me.
Or searching for partner who over-emotes.
