Awesome post.

I'm the daughter of a woman who is a narcissist who is the daughter of a man who was a narcissist who was the son of a woman who was a narcissist. (Nobody knows further back than my great grandmother....I don't even know if "narcissism" was a common word so long ago, especially in light of how mental disorders were handled 100+ years ago.) Somehow neither I nor either of my siblings became narcissists. (Yup, I can spot one a mile away, and I'd be able to see it in them, and I've been told more than once by more than one person that i don't fit the bill.)

Its funny, because people say I'm being paranoid when I spot a narcissist, that since I've been exposed to so many over the years that I see narcissism everywhere. So not true. I actually don't see it all that often, but when I do, WHOA! I can spot it in an instant!
