Nice people don't exist? What a dreadful view.

Omg I thought you were trolling, but you actually believe in this. You'll pick up positive aspects of narcissism and blameshift negatives for others.

Was that aimed at me?

Then what's the problem?

You'd have to tell me; you're the one who brought the subject up. Why do you feel the need to discuss it?

I'm sure that the answer is already clear to you, inasmuch as the answer to what the issue is with NPD itself.

Narcissism usually exists because a person needs a supply; they require the attention of others for their sense of self-worth. If you have this emotional need, then the problem to you has already started. It's never going to be satisfied and it's never going to stop.

People are not stupid, and the trait will be obvious to others, and so they'll pull away and the ability for the narc to get their supply will be harder, to the point where they'll look for any means to get the attention.

I'm thinking it was a 2-part rant, both of which aimed at Zero.

Careful not to stand in the middle/ or don't forget to dodge!

Narcissist are also highly sensitive to even the most delicate criticism which is on full display here. You remind me in a lot of ways of julllllia only not as enjoyable

Also I’m not listing positive or negative traits for anyone I’m just giving realistic examples because ohhh I don’t know, that’s what this thread is about. Bloody hell

You've been pushing your agenda on me for so long and so hard. Yes it's starting to get a little annoying.
Am I doing that to anyone here? No I am not.

Yes I'm sensitive, I'm moody and I'm bipolar. But you think you've got a better idea of who and what I am, than all the psychological testing I went through, or my spouse. It's a little.. no very very arrogant of you.

You've been doing the same thing. Your opinions, let's just take the ones in this thread as an example, are arrogant and self-focused. You expect people to be aware of your bi-polar condition, and yet narcissism is also a condition.

When you exhibit traits of yours, people are supposed to understand, and yet when a narc demonstrates traits of there's then you react to that as if it's a choice.

Your own behaviour is narcissistic, yet you don't have that condition. If you can't control your narcissism, why do you think someone with the condition is better able to?

There are forums for people with Bi-polar and yet I don't see anyone from this forum going over there and insulting people due to their condition; it wouldn't be tolerated. Narcissism is a trait of AsPD, and yet you're here talking down to people as if they have a choice over how those traits are exhibited.

Why are you here?

How is my general tone here any different from others?

Fine I'll just leave then.

Ok, I see what this is about now.

The word 'excessive'.

Selfishness, involving a sense of entitlement, a lack of empathy, and a need for admiration, as characterizing a personality type.

^ Sense of entitlement, lack of empathy, need for admiration.. What's wrong with those traits?

Characterising a personality type means those traits are too dominant for your other traits to function properly. Everybody has them to a degree in different contexts.
