Dated ??? Nope, but came across quire a few self centered persons...they are lousy at vodka shots...
yes, couldnt figure out what was going on insanity kicked in had to do alot of praying at the end it was the best thing that happened to me. i learned to love, respect, value myself and got a backbone. i think anyone can change if they want it bad enough. he like who he was.

I don't ever start anything with a narcissist, there can only be one in the relationship for it to work

Never dated one, but they are quite prominent here.

Every woman I've dated has been the standard narcissist of physical appearance. I know few women who would not be mortified if they were called ugly.
Intellectual narcissist. Dated one, she was a lawyer.
What I call the personal narcissist. The machiavellian. The confidence trickster. Derren Brown and the magicians. Not many women are like this. I've never been out with one.
Spiritual narcissist. Well, there's a never-ending stream of blogs about how self-love will light the world etc. I've never been out with a spirit narcissist but I've had a good go at interrupting the m**turbatathon which is their lives.

I tell you what, I dated a guy who had been body-slammed by a full-blown malignant narcissist in his previous relationship. I don't know how damaged he was before but he was a MESS when she'd finished with him. Except that she hadn't, she circled our campfire for a good while after. Scary people.

Yes, I had a relationship with one once.
I never got over the experience.
He thought he was God. I didn't understand what it was at first...but the more I was with him, the more apparent it became.
ya, been there, and its not for the faint hearted, they cannot change because they dont realise there is anything that needs changing, its the rest of the world that is messed up not them
Everyone in their world is there to be used for whatever narcissistic supply they need, they tend to have one important victim who seems like a partner or even spouse, but they cheat a lot because they need a backup supply in case you walk out and cant take anymore
They are highly erratic and can be physically dangerous as well as emotionally
Most of them do like who they are. As far as changing, how does one change if they always think they are right? How can one change if they are in denial of who they are and how they effect others? Usually it takes a conscience and a true want to change in order to make it happen. To force it would get a false result.
A friend of mine gave me a some good advice. He told me when I was in that situation to just agree with him until I could get out of there. I did what he said and it worked. I left a few weeks later.. unscathed.
