Most of the time, ppl have "narcissistic" characteristics without being real narcissists. Only professionals, which I am not, can diagnose a narcissist. This usually cannot happen bc these individuals are not aware of their condition and do not seek treatment.

The very definition of mental illness, eh, @yellowings It is one of the toughest aspects of mental illness is the patient cannot see what other 'normal' folks see.

With the boss I had who was a narcissist thought WE all were the problem!

As a bopolar person, i knew immediately that there was something wrong with me AT TIMES. Ppl tend to DENY their different feelings but they usually make symptoms more obvious. Narcs are legitimally unaware of their obnoxiousness, their contradicted lies, their paranoia, etc. It is impossible to reason with them. We believe their maneuvers bc we love them or need them. We destroy our self-esteem when they discard us by betraying us fatally.
