But HOW does an N go about denying feelings totally?
« on: December 19, 2006, 09:15:40 PM »
A catatonic man, who can stand in a trance for long moments in time, has shut off all feeling, including pain, yet the other organs still function normally.

All neurotic people including narcissists use this mechanism of making parts of their body go "dead" to suppress feelings.

Setting the jaw- blocks crying.  If maintaned, the person will not be able to cry at all.

Deadening upper back muscles and shoulders through tension- suppressing anger

THe more important defense in Narcissists is DENIAL OF FEELING

When a person FEELS something, it's because they perceive an internal body movement or situation.  If that doesn't occur, there is no feeling, because nothing is there to perceive.  It is like letting your arm hang for a while...eventually you will lose feeling in it.  This is the way internal feelings work too...deaden parts of you and eventually you will no longer notice them nor will they operate.

It is like someone yelling and screaming in a conversation, but when a person asks what they are angry about, the person says "Who's angry?"

Yoicks.
My shoulders have been halfway to my earlobes for a couple years now.

I noticed this has eased a LOT since I left the old job and started the new one.
(My new boss is not mean. I do not fear him.)

Hops

Hops, I'm thrilled for you that your new boss is NOT mean and you no longer FEAR. Your physical tension must of been exhausting over such a long time. Wishing you a relaxed body and mind.
