Yep I posted this bit of info from Sam Vaknin's site on here in one of the topics changed up to make an easier read for the forum goers here.

In its natural context it uses the words male and narcissist but Sam says these are completely interchangeable with female and histrionic.

A note about Sam Vaknin...

He cannot be fully trusted because he is a self proclaimed narcissist but probably the truth is moreso that he is an Anti Social Personality Disordered sufferer playing a manipulative game of controlling people's healing through the info on his site.

Many of his articles push his destructive hidden agenda of hate and paranoia ie there's a narcissist lurking around every corner and you yourself could become one by having been victimized by one.

Well thats not the truth you can't become a narcissist or a histrionic by being victimized by one as those personality disorders are genetic or acquired in early childhood from abuse.

You can however become depressed and short tempered as a result of your victimization but therapy and a willingness to work through that on your part can help you recover.

So in closing everyone who reads Sam Vaknin's site should read other things from more credible sources to find out if the particular Vaknin article they read lines up totally with the truth or if its a half truth with an agenda of fear and paranoia behind it.

Thats how I find most of his articles to be.

Bits of helpful info with some dangerous lies you have to avoid believing.
