Amused by your suffering – NPD

Sherri Campbell PhD

So much of how we cope in our emotionally dysfunctional family is to become absolutely dedicated to gathering the facts and details of our side of any problem. In gathering our facts, we trick ourselves into believing that we will be able to prove our side, speak our truth, and be heard.

What we need to learn is that emotional abusers purposely leave incriminating evidence in your life because they want to fight with you. They want you to try and prove yourself, your side, and your facts. They live for the chaos of this type of attention, drama, and conflict. Conflict makes them feel invigorated and alive. For them conflict is a source of pure satisfaction and entertainment.

The teaching to take is that a normal human being does not like to see other people, especially those closest to them, suffer. Sadly, emotional abusers view the suffering they cause to their victims as a source of pure amusement.
