Well said, as usual.

I was told that Borderline personality's are the equivalent of emotional third degree burn patients. If that is so..then NPD's are the equivalent of same, only with the addition of a band-aid. Over and over again it gets torn off, and then the hurt rages until it is replaced. And always, they wait for the next ripping off.

I think the whole 'supply' thing, while helpful to non's and to people hurt by NPD's...completely trivializes what's really going on. To understand that....one needs objectivity. And that is a resource difficult to manage, around the NPD. I'm closer to it, snarkyness aside. I appreciate this forum for what it is...and I admit to lurking occasionally. I also appreciate the NPD's who bother to post...even as it annoys them, sometimes, to do so.
