Hi,
I'm a new member, 61, and only 4 months ago it has been suggested to me that my stepmom has NPD.
I've therefore started to read as much as I can on the subject but find the following discrepancies:
She's got lots of friends albeit the ones that get too close end up leaving her
She's very caring to animals
She's generally gregarious in public
She apologises to anyone
As far as the rest of the characteristics they all seem to match the label.
Any suggestions?
Our partner
