Not narcisstic but there are overlaps.
My father is a psychopath, aspd.
My experience with them was disgusting. And I turned into whatever he made me up until my teen years, around 15.
I know so much about manipulation and control. And I can recognize it in others ans in myself when taking the same path.
Sometimes people don't have the disorders and still act out in similar manners.
Generally, I just want a peaceful life mostly alone. Maybe with couple of goats and a dog.
Too much bullshit, socially.

@Miram I can easily identify manipulative behaviors and i usually like to keep such people away from my personal life. Ofcourse, i meet them more often in workplaces.
You are right that's not always to do with disorders and that it overlaps. I have a mother who plays the victim card and steers the conversation manipulatively. Unfortunately, me and my sis catch her in the act always and don't sympathize. She's not entirely narcissistic but she shows some signs of it.

One by one got rid of them, people who've used me in my daily life, online as well. I was sad because I've knowm some for over 18 years or so trying to lead by example.
One day God opened my eyes and showed me, if they weren't the center of my focus they'd belittle me, use negative profain language directing it towards me.
They're great opportunist and use situations to their advantage, knowing I rarely said, "no" to their requests or favors.
A couple of them even talked dirty negative things about people or women he used as sexual partners, laughing all the while.
This is when i asked myself, when will he talk negative things about me, then it happened as his son knew things only he knew about me.
One day With God's blessings and absolutely no warning from me, carried through with a "No contact" action. Deleting, blocking, etc.,.
These are people who've prevented me in my walk from going forward with Christ.

Would I help them should they be stuck on the side of the road, sure but thats as far as it goes. No handshake, no smalltalk nor recieving of any payment.
Now, life is good!

It is easy to detect a narcissist. The moment you start feeling yourselves loosing control over your thoughts in a conversation, it flags us to ask the right question whether we are dealing with a narcissist.
If you are not dealing with one, it is quite possible that you are the one whom you are searching.
Best medicine you can give to a narcissist is ignoring them.

Very few would agree and would defend them adamantly. They are fooled by the ooey gooey, sweet, charming, "kind" exterior and the compliments and accolades they give. Which ironically are all ways they create and manipulate to fluff their ego, to be the center of attention and to be admired and liked by everyone.

Not all narcissists are the worst but when you look at the worst of society you find a lot of narcissists.

@bijouxbroussard These people love to play victim conveniently when they sense they are going be held responsible. They shrug off their responsibility of owning up to their mistakes and manipulatively steers the conversation to make it all about them and how they are the victim always. And then to aggravate the matter they go to the extent of trying to make you feel guilty by crying and blackmailing you of suicide. Only to realise that you can't really have a rational conversation with them that even closely hints that they did wrong.
That's my mom. Lol
