Tell you what exactly?

My best advice for you is always kiss your boss' ass until you find a better job.

If you're not the kind who doesn't mind kissing ass, then get yourself out of where you are as soon as possible.

It's just a phrase. Don't take it literally just as you don't take "kiss your boss' ass" literally. ;)

My mom is narcisstic and brother too. Dad died now was one too
Ok mom would just keep on harassing me. When i was 8 months pregnant she decided to get my brother married
His marriage was fixed in a other state and i was heavily pregnant
All throughout the pregnancy she never bothered to come
And in the 8th month the drama started that i have to attend this wedding I was supposed to have a long train journey
When i refused she started calling and abusing me verbally then she asked my brother to call up and abuse me
Then finally she called my mother in law and asked her to pound me
I was so much in pain emotionally and physically
she would always walk past me when i was sick, feverish and just ignore me as if i didnt exsist
people cant understand what i went through because of her
always manipulating and now she as made a gang of relatives and saying nasty things about me behind my back
she as taken all of them in her side
:evil:

namaste how awful~

I just found out there has been a rumor about me for 23 years that I had "scientific tests" done on me while I was pregnant.. "just for the income"... that was the best one yet. They all, of course, denied it... to my cousin's shock; she I guess is used to being on the inside circle, but they threw her under the bus this time...

My ex boyfriend may have NPD, I agree that Aspie's might be targets for them, I seem to have a target on my forehead. Whenever a female store clerk doesn't overtly flirt with him, he says they were being a (insert nasty word here). There were hundreds of incidents of emotional abuse that were so hard to figure out, they made no sense at all. I funded our business completely and he would not give me a dime back, nor pay me what I earned, and he has not yet made any attempt. It's incredible how others like him flock to him and defend him. He owes me a LOT of money, and actually believes that he is innocent of it. He gave my barely adult son illegal drugs, that was the last day. On a holiday, no less. He hooked up with a girl on the internet within a week of my walking out, and was dating her while pretending to go to counseling with me. I finally understood there was something seriously wrong with him one day when we were actually having a good time; the whole day was great like when we were just friends; I got up to get my sandwich from the counter, walking toward him; he said something that made me smile broadly~ his whole face and demeanor instantly changed, like a blackness swept over him, it was freeeaky, and that was it, he was jerk master again.
I might write a book: "Fun With NPDs" (How to lose your money and your mind in 6 months)

NPD is my favorite psychiatric disorder. I think I've only known two truly narcissistic people in my lifetime. I'm thankful that they were people that I could remove from my life cleanly.

Sam Vaknin is a self-proclaimed narcissist who has written a book on the disorder. It's grotesquely overpriced on Amazon, but this link will give you a lot of really great insight into the way the narcissist's mind works. It's pretty jacked up. :lol:

I hope that link works. If not, just cut and paste it into another browser window.

I define evil as something that realizes it is is doing harm, but does not stop anyway. I thought by definition, a narcissist cannot admit to any sort of wrongdoing, so I consider them terrible people, but not evil.

can you explain more detailly? Which path leads there?

There's a continuum of "niceness" and "meanness" in the population. Some people feel good when they do nice things for others and some people feel good when they do mean things and it's largely genetically predisposed. NPD is just a mean person with the addition of a grand sense of superiority and having sufficient Theory of Mind skills and abilities to effectively manipulate others.

Sorry about taking so long to get back to this:

I have not, although I plan to. A friend recommended it to me, and both of her parents were narcissists. She said it helped her make sense of a lot of things.

Inaccurate.

A person with NPD has an extreme personality disorder. He's not just some as*hole. And he isn't always effective with his manipulations. But he's recklessly dangerous if you dare challenge him.

That's why you have to always play it smart. No Contact if necessary.

No, YOU'RE WRONG!! !! If you dare accuse of me being inaccurate in the future, I will hunt you down and kill you! I'm right and you're wrong because I'm a genius and you all are morons.

I know what I'm talking about as I know from first-person experience. :P

(Despite how disturbed you might've temporarily been by this post, it was a joke. :wink: Admittedly lame, I know.)
