Can't fault a scorpion for being what he (or she) is. Aesop....and actually, that fable is pretty much on the mark, explaining a narcs overall intentions, too.
And if you'd been involved for anytime WITH a narc, you'd see why what he says makes sense. Otherwise....you're just spreading self-help pap, that helps no one...including the 'self' who reads it.
I wish I could say I was sorry for the above words........but after 3 years of living with it and several months of trying to survive after it....I'm not.  |
Everything you just stated doesn't change the fact that he received his accreditation from a diploma mill, and has never cited any research for his claims. He may see his conjecture as truth, and you might as well, but what you and Vaknin 'feel' does not qualify as truth. Now you don't have to take offense, simply understand that not everybody is going to see things the way you do. And for the record I called Vaknin a fool and criticized him for things he has already been critisized for, but I did not degrade the poster. I simply pointed out facts she might have been ignorant of so that she may look into them if she pleases.
