Men’s Health: Narcissism May Be Bad News

In my case, narcissism comes from both my brother and my sister. Both self-righteous, verbally abusive to their spouses, parents and even their own children. I've found these people will never, ever change. Therefore, I chose to walk away from both of them. I find that I am happier, more at peace and never have to endure the endless criticism, insults or the rabid self-righteousness.You don't get a choice when it comes to family. Walking away from these two was without a doubt the kindest most loving thing I ever did for myself http://www.maleenhancementgroup.com male enhancement

I can't stand narcissism. I am the humblest person in the entire world.

Would the book you mention be accessible/useful to a lay person?

Yes. Serial killers (like Bundy) also have Nascissistic Personality Disorders. Those who are NOT Sociopaths, (like Bundy) often exhibit anti-social tendencies. People who love a peron with a Narcissistic P.D. can be emotionally hurt, and children can be scarred.

Yes, they suffer, but that suffering comes from the inevitable frustrations of their toxic egocentrism. And it is not comparable to the suffering they inflict on others, whose humanity they deride, dismiss, and destroy every waking day.

Of course there is nothing wrong with them. It's the people around them who are seriously lacking. In the narcs' his mind, he is a walking perfection, mercifully and oh-so-benevolently putting up with the unwashed in his life. It is a terrible affliction, yes, with very little (rarely) to zero (usually) chances for change. Narcs are sensitive and susceptible to shame, which is their one remaining thread of humanity, and this sometimes can serve as a tiny crack into their interior. But they also typically overreact to shame with sledgehammer-like defensive responses, closing any opportunity for empathetic relationships with others, and, by extension, change. The best advice for dealing with narcs is, stay away, if you can. Unfortunately, that's not always possible. If you are interested in the inner workings of the narcs' mind, check out "Psychoanalytic Diagnosis" by Nancy McWilliams. One of the best (if not the best).

What a bitter person you are. Sucks to be you.

It's a good thing Obama is skinny now and Michelle watches his diet.

"Why would narcissism impact men and women differently? It’s something the researchers will study in depth next, but Prof. Konrath hazarded: “Given societal definitions of masculinity that overlap with narcissism – for example, the belief that men should be ... dominant – men who endorse stereotypically male sex roles and who are also high in narcissism may feel especially stressed.” As for the stress, “Even though narcissists have grandiose self-perceptions, they also have fragile views of themselves and often resort to defensive strategies like aggression when their sense of superiority is threatened,” said David Reinhard, a co-author from the University of Virginia."

Oh yeah, he's in trouble.
