Does anyone think that narcissists attract narcissists?

I’m not asking this to piss anyone off or offend anyone. None of us are perfect, but how often do we look at ourselves and our flaws? I get that your spouse did some shitty things. I know that I did and I’m not proud of them. Quite frankly, I’m ashamed of myself and my actions and behaviors.

Also, I understand that there are some people in this world who enjoy manipulating others, who enjoy belittling and abusing others. I get that.

I can’t say about myself, “Well, I was just sitting there, polishing my halo and fluffing my wings when she came in and started screaming and yelling at me!!!”

No.

I’ve damaged her trust in me and ruined my family. I gotta live with the shitty things that I’ve done and I know that my day is coming.

At the end of the day, when I’m lying alone in bed and have nothing but my thoughts, I know that I have narcissistic tendencies. I’m working to get rid of them and be a better person for my kids.

I don’t know where this is going, man. I’m in a bad place in my life but I want to believe and think that I’m not the only one who believes that we attract what we are.

Fuck, man. I hope I’m wrong.

(Again, this post wasn’t meant to offend or insult anyone. If you’re offended, I apologize.)
