Do you know someone who is narcissistic?

If yes, what's your experience with them like? And it's impact on your life or personal development.

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.

@SW-User that is the best anyone can do. Not letting them play on your feelings.
