Hi wEeB, thank you for commenting. Just to comment on this–as you are probably aware already, there is a spectrum of narcissism and it is possible you have some of the criteria but don’t meet the full criteria for a diagnosis of NPD. It’s also possible that the dimensions of the criteria that you fall under for the disorder may not overlap with the more exploitive aspects of the diagnosis. For example, someone needs only five of nine criteria. Probably the most pessimistic interpretation of your comment is that it’s also possible that a person with the diagnosis is not aware of how they are hurting or harming others. Hopefully, that’s not the issue. If you find that you are troubled by the idea that you might be a narcissist, there are mental health professionals that treat narcissists and you could seek one out. I appreciate your insight. -Kristen

When his son fell and was yelling in pain a and crying I jumped up and ran for him( he wasn’t my son) I looked back and he was just sitting there! I said it’s $&@&, he just sat there totally unconcerned. After I and others got to the boy he gets up and walks over, he didn’t comfort the boy in any way. After we left er. Aaa did got home with instructions to ice and give pain meds to the boy. He fussed when I got ice bag and ibuprofens for him- saying from his throne( recliner) He’ll be okay- he doesn’t need all of that. POS even told his son ( when he scored 12points) that if he had been playing he would have scored 50 points!! Oh my gosh he was the devil in disguise- I didn’t just walk away— I ran. God help his son. I pray for that kid everyday.

long time. I was seeking someone who would be in a position to definitely navigate me on this issue and was
lucky enough to locate you. Thanks a lot for your detailed reason, you drew attention to a very
common matter! Although I share your opinion for the most part,
I presume that a few things are worth having a more detailed appearance
to understand what is going on.

I keep finding more and more information about this personality disorder. I am currently in the course of divorcing a narcissist to my therapist says is one of the most extreme cases she’s ever seen, short of physical violence (the one boundary I was able to convince him was unacceptable). He financially, emotionally and spiritually abused me for 35 years. I basically have Stockholm syndrome. I wonder if you might have some research done on that phenomena. I find it very hard to get his negative behaviors and words out of my head. I I often find myself experiencing guilt and shame for leaving him. Once again thank you for your article.

They’re not important to him and it breaks their hearts.
