Hi Vered,
Narcissists can be everywhere, can’t they?

My hope is that those who haven’t “been educated the hard way” by a narcissists can avoid a lot of grief by reading my posts and by you and others passing on the information to teenagers.

Hi Deb,
“doesn’t even begin to describe the dynamic” — so true. Until you’ve been exposed to them for awhile, it is hard to believe a person can be wired so completely differently than functional people.

Hi Barbara,
Thank you and congrats on freeing yourself from their ways!

Our project recently had some help come its way, so now it will be even more awesome!

Hi Lori,

You’ve nailed narcissists perfectly. Fortunately I’ve rid myself of those that have been in my life.

Congratulations on yours and Betsy’s upcoming project. Rumor has it, it’s awesome.

Sometimes it pays to be up at an ungodly hour on a Sunday morning. I actually read my feedreader and find links to blogs like this. Anything with a fellow female martial artist in it is enough to grab my attention and keep me reading. Add to that an interesting post like this one and you’ve got a winner.

Wicked, weird and wacky doesn’t even begin to describe that dynamic and no matter how you slice it, it’s not pretty.

Thanks for the insight this morning. You can bet I’ll be back for more.

In an ideal world, you would be able to filter out all the narcissists and stay away from them. In the real world, some of them are family or coworkers… impossible to completely stay away.

Hi SB,
Welcome and thanks for commenting.

Narcissists can partner fairly successfully with some types who crave the drama and the second lead dog position. It is a wicked, weird, and wacky dynamic.

Hi Davina,
It’s not a pretty sight.

“So basically, they defy all logic and keep “pulling the rug out from under you.” Can you imagine two narcissists playing off of each other? Oh the power trips.”

I think my ex-narcissist-husband’s new partner (she was the OW he had affair with before we divorced) is also a narcissist. Oh boy, sometimes I would love to be a fly on the wall in their loveboat!
