I found this thread only just today, and am new here.
I am sad for you uno, and as I am losing a friend too, quickly, almost overnight. But I am concenred that it is me with the NPD and that somehow she senses that something is not right. I have muddied other relationships in the past too.
I found this thread warm and open, and the stories of people in here touched me as I can relate to them myself. Particularly Michah's.
It was good to find a place where N's are not constantly villified, called vampires and abusers. <aside> I know...if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...<end of aside>
I am slowly realising in myself that sometihing may be missing, I can't get away from it, and I feel pain. it's helpful to know others have conquered it, hear their stories and that there is hope for oneself, and more important for those as yet unmet people in my life that at least I can try and not hurt in the future.
Uno, She is your friend, she seems happy in her new extensive network, well... it's not easy for you, but if you are true friends, try and be happy for her. If she really is unwell with a PD, you can forgive that. That's six years of goodness you have tallied up. 6% profit on your projected hundred year lifespan? Not too bad.
Greetings to all...Maybe I'll hang around a bit.
