Raw and Feelings.

[Guest guest]

As I have moved into eating raw, I have noticed

physical changes and psychological changes.<br><br>I have

noticed my personality type coming more to the fore. I

have a narcissictic personality, I love attention so I

present myself as special with a touch of genius. Of

course I am not special and all I want is

attention.<br><br>On the other hand, people with psychopathic

personalities seek to prey on the vulnerable. They look for the

weak point, or blind spot in the other person and

exploit it or even attack.<br><br>So my vulnerability is

my need for attention and the false claim that I am

special.<br><br>Psychopathic personalities can smell this like a shark smells

blood in the water.<br><br>So how can narcissists, like

myself, remain reasonably safe.<br><br>The first thing is

getting to know yourself, or insight. The second thing is

to realise the first tool of predators is deception.

So remain in the open where others can see you,

don't go off to a dark corner no matter how seductive

it might seem.<br><br>So my advice to myself is get

to know my feelings even if they are embarrassing.

And find positive ways of getting attention without

making false claims of specialness. This is not easy

advice to follow.<br><br>But as I move further into raw,

I need to deal with myself as I am, not as I may

wish to be seen.<br><br>Victor.
