I took the test and said YES to all but 3! I needed so desperately to put a name to my “condition”. I never understood it and my family never has either. I felt I never had the right to feel sad, lonely or depressed because I didn’t have a hard life, I just didn’t have the emotional connections to my parents that are so necessary. I’ve been a victim to a few narcissistic men. I’m in the process of divorcing one now. I feel a little stronger now and want to begin the process of self healing. This was earth shattering for me. I feel like I’m amongst my people now when I’ve always felt alone and that I was lacking so I never enjoyed being around my peers.

Thank you and God bless you.

They labeled the victims of psychopaths and sociopaths as the problem. Now we have one running our country. Psychologists covered for decades of sexual, emotional and physical abuse, re-framing it as the victims fault. Not one of these self described experts ever recognized the signs in childhood or the dynamics of these dysfunctional families. They created a culture of silence, denigrating the victims, and elevating Psychopathology to a place of admiration.

Well said Janis.

The thing it really made me realize is why, if you’re in the position I’m in, “chemistry” with someone is unbelievably dangerous. I think that, if you are still buried under CEN, that’s a huge part of why that feeling of weak-kneed chemistry is probably a sign that you should spin in place like a top and run as fast as you can in the other direction. Because it’s a sign that what you want — what I want, sometimes — is something that I shouldn’t be so starved for in other people. I should be generating that sort of positive energy and excitement within myself so that I don’t feel like a fainting, starving person when I lay eyes on it in others.

Dear Richard, I think you are so unaware of your wants and needs that you have no idea. The point of this exercise is not to answer a certain way except the way that is true to you. I hope you’ll keep searching for those answers because they are very, very important.

Is there an example of how these questions should be answered or are my feeling so dominated by my situation that I am shell shocked?

I’m so glad Janis. You only need to dedicate perseverance and persistence, and you’ll end up in a new place, I am sure.
