gonelikethewimd: Just from an old lady's perspective...

Remember PKrema...and how she was put down and eventually deleted...

ask yourself why....because she was called anorexic...because men thought she was hot....

Most on here have been here for years and are afraid to speak...

The baseball lover is also pretty....
Very well stated and accurate. The narcissists are usually the ones who demand members to be removed if they don't conform and followers remain silent. Much worse on Twitter and Facebook and goes absolutely against freedom of speech.

I did call it out when I saw it...the person who said it...came into a music thread and posted a silly song..along with a meme..of how cool she thinks she is...

She is welcome to report me....I generally just post music anyways...and, I no longer even look into her thread..

I would not be a friend with her in the real world...so, why would I care here...

Yes, I remember PKrema. Nice person. She Didn't look anorexic to me. I recall some idjets remarked unceasingly about a beauty mark on her face though.

galrads: I think not for many reasons including they lack Enough confidence to not put others down to make themselves feel better.

There are many narcissist who are members on cs. So, can a relationship with a narcissist work?
No I’ve been unlucky enough to come across two of these one I was in a relationship with and he absolutely broke me to the point I didn’t know who I was anymore, while building myself back up I developed a friendship with another male of the same kind but thankfully this time I spotted the signs and broke away was hard as we worked together. To this day I can’t explain the hold the first one had on me when I look back it terrifies me.

Yes I agree there are a few of them here , but when you have been in relationships with one the others are easier to spot

Amazing that all divorced women were married to narcissists and none of the females were to blame. laugh

By enlarging the words "Yes I agree there are a few of them here" Gal is pointing out he will never be a narcissist again. laugh

I don't think I've ever met one...or would recognise one either, much less divorced one...

Narcissism seems to be a highly prevalent trait in the US though...so I'm not surprised if many American women were married to one, I'm sure there are probably plenty of similarly afflicted American women too.

GeneralBeacon: Narcissists are supposedly self-centered individuals who think and act as the world revolves around them. However, defining Narcissism is important since there are different levels. Are they ones bordering on a mental disorder, or are they simply well educated, confident of what they are doing, hard to deal with knowing facts covering all angles, and able to get the work done under pressure forcing a weaker individual to see them in this manner while an altruist waits around not to hurt someone's feelings, usually have opposing views and values with no solid commitments to anyone.

The bottom line in my opinion the best individual for a job or relationship is usually someone who can be somewhat narcissistic while being equally altruistic, yet able to handle each situation differently as needed using intelligence, logic, and humor in stressful times. For example in a hostage situation, you wouldn't want someone who is 100% narcissistic or 100% altruistic... it just won't work. In extreme cases of narcissism or altruism, it's more of an abnormal behavior where it is headed for mental illness in time able to be destructive to yourself or others.

galrads: Yes, I’ve seen this behavior more than a few times. Quite chilling.
I’ve had it once online. Luckily it never progressed to real life because he turned so nasty.
