can y'all shut the fuck up and stop acting like people with NPD are inherently awful abusers who only care about themselves? It's "omg schizophrenics are all psychological murderers" all over again - then again people still think that, too

Maybe narcissistics are just people who fail to doubt themselves. Maybe all of us are like that at times

Has anyone on your editorial staff actually read any of these? Asking for America. Cuz you are enabling a textbook narcissist blow through norms by sanewashing and elevating his actions as, “Hey, Trump is a tough guy challenging the status quo and really getting results!”

Respect for democratic norms is a crucial pillar of a free and stable society that Republicans may discard as they see fit, per @nytimes.com editors.

If you are dealing with a narcissist the only way is to remove yourself from their life. You are a supply source, they are vampires. Srsly one of the worst conditions imaginable.

Yes, you can always always get away. I realize it is more difficult for some for a wide variety of reasons, but I hope those ppl learn to protect themselves because no one is coming to save them.

Also, don’t think for one moment that the narc won’t drop you entirely once they’ve drained you dry. In fact I’d bet money they would!
