pKrema: The narcissists are like the mad ones , they never admit their narcissism but they see it in everybody else...
CS is a great place for them...
True! There is healthy Narcissism which most
people have. However, there is no comparison to it and NPD.
Had you ever encountered it you would know and not forget!

ChesneyChrist: Chances are it'll destroy the world. The problem with narcissism is that no matter how nice and privileged you make a place narcissism will take it for granted, you wonder why 18 stone Americans who have ruined an empire and imploded in debt can talk about personal responsiblity this is because of narcissism. To perform so poorly whilst sustaining such a great level of perfectionism is the narcissistic way; Americans don't forgive mistakes even though they are one, a massive one.
Banks that were led by narcissistic CEOs before the collapse of the US banking industry in September 2008 suffered more severe consequences of that systemic shock. Narcissist will trample on everyone to get to the top and obviously cause great destruction when they get there!

MsContessa: The term street Angel and house Devil would be apt. I expect a Narcissist can glide through life like a leaf in the wind with only those closest seeing the storm and wreckage!
Behaviour of a toddler. They just suddenly explode and you have no idea why, but you have to work out why. As they're screaming and shouting at you. An it's always a personal attack about you. As you are left in a state of
confused what did I do now? Only it's very different coming from an adult. Intimidating and can be quite scary.

Bogart_1960: anyone who uses uses religion, dogmas, power, relationships, to control, manipulate, downgrade others. Mostly by taking advantage of people to reach his or her own goals. (great actors too)

Most of them have a grandiose sense of self-importance, and tthey do try to minimize any version of reality that conflicts with theirs.

we do need mirrors here - slapping mirrors.
What a lot of negitative words and negativity associated with them.... moping

Narcissist supply (you) Narrcissist rage (when the supply undermines, however slight, the Narcissist). It is not normal for a grown man or woman to throw a tantrum....
