Have you ever met a narcissist and what was the experience like?
have one for a brother AND was married to one. also worked with a few.
didn't really start that way but she became progressively worse as time wore on.
narcissists are also bent on control - of people, situations - anything. even too much isn't enough.
they also love to set up situations (baiting) that pit others against each other, then sit back and enjoy the scenario as they play it out. telling loads of lies or "salting" their stories with grains of truth, as well as playing on plausible denyability (slipping through the cracks w/o getting positively caught) are also high on their lists.
what they hate: getting positively caught and punished. sadly, this rarely happens.
what i found that worked best for me was to figure out what they're using for leverage and deny it. it can be refusal to "rise to the bait" at their teasing or picking of fights and outright ignoring them.
you have to break contact with them or they'll continue to bleed you.
sad thing is that they won't stop. once you know how to deny "fuel to their fires," they'll move onto someone else and make their lives hell.
they also tend to be bullies.

I do have Conduct Disorder (CD), and was truly diagnosed with it by a psychologist or psychiatrist. Conduct Disorder is childhood Antisocial Personality Disorder, I was not diagnosed with ASPD, because I was not 18 at the time, Conduct disorder can turn into Antisocial Personality Disorder. I used to get so many in school suspensions and in trouble a lot though when I was younger, but I am not a narcissist.
I have never dealt with a Narcissist, just delusional assheads. I think Narcissist are given to much credit anyways.
I have a father that’s a malignant narc. All he really does is try to use and abuse everyone he comes into contact with and attempt to destroy their life in some way. Demands any and everyone’s attention like I can’t even go out if he’s driving and I stopped going with him anymore as an example. It’s so embarrassing he causes a confrontation or explosive argument everywhere he goes over the dumbest little crap. Like he had to drop me off at my job he would literally swerve into another cars direction just a little bit to make it awkward and give the other driver a death stare and in an effort to try and upset me by making me 15mins late to work. It has been a super hellish and draining experience. Right down to trying to control the food I eat and what time. I hope to be able to move out soon. I had a former friend that was a evil covert one and a relationship that was also draining too both people constantly insecure and making confrontations.

I worked with one coincidentally called Karen. Shed been married more than once and thought she was hot and when she had red short hair was over weight with a doggy eye, wrinkles full of foundation a witch nose and was a 55 year old grandmother. She would constantly manipulate married men and act like she could take anyone's man if she wanted to. She even said my boyfriend was ugly after she stalked his Facebook I just said "oh I'm sure my boyfriend will be devastated by hearing that as he really wanted your approval Karen"
She thought the world revolved around her and would deliberately try to gaslight people and play innocent when confronted and act like the other person was crazy. I couldn't stand the woman so glad I left that place

Yes. Excruciating to deal with but I’m pro now

Yeah, and it sucked. My Ex always played victim any time I brought to her attention something she did that hurt me.
Also had a recent experience with my sister displaying narcissistic tendencies, and double standards. Thankfully I'm not in that circumstance any longer. It was a very unhealthy living situation. She guilt tripped me about things from my past, when I told her I wasn't comfortable with something she asked of me. Very manipulative. Debating whether or not if I should cut her off completely, tbh. My mental health has gotten way better since I haven't been around her. - 865 opinions shared on Relationships topic.
Yes, my ex boyfriend was a narcissistic-sociopath. His famous words were ''If you break up, you'll never find anyone as great as me, I'm almost perfect''. It was one of the most horrible experience ever. The bastard even owes me money.
The are disgusting, deplorable people. -
Met a few of them sadly. A real narcist only brings negativity with him/her.
For some reason I have a hard time being able to handle their selfishness because sometimes their selfish words or actions can make me angry and that's pulling my own negative side to the table. Very unnoying is another person's ego is effecting your moods in a negative way -
It was awful because of the fact he was my mother's alcoholic boyfriend. Never worked a day in his life, had no responsibility ever in his life, never done anything but mooch off others and thought he was above everyone else. While I worked 18-20 hours a day supporting my mom and sister while he stayed at our place eating our food for free.

My one Nephew seems to have absolutely no conscience or morals. I wouldn't ever trust him around any weapons. He essentially has absolutely No Conscience when you look into his eyes they are essentially just Dead. An I don't say that lightly. I don't trust him around my family period! I have stated the same to Police Officers and Firefighters and family members and they tend to agree.

My sister and mother are definitely narcissists
Might be one myself I don't know -
Lived with one for 34 years was my so called father, he's dead now thank god. He was an evil nasty violent creature who I hated with every ounce of my being.
Then I met my now ex who I found out was also one a compulsive liar, nasty, broke me tried to stab me, and is still harassing me to this day, phoned the police humpteen times had to call again tonight also, they're evil people who should be locked up for the safely of others. -
My dad is one. Try living with a narcissist… I very quickly learnt that it’s okay to cut family off and to not feel bad about it.
