There is a pinned thread at the top of this forum that I encourage everyone to read, but I'll post sabby's post in that thread here because it seems that some people have forgotten exactly what forum they are in:

Please take a moment to read this thread.
This forum is really about the NPD individual and the challenges they face. Getting together to discuss issues and how to help one another.
Anyone can post here providing their post is looking for support or giving support and not degrading the NPD personally or generally.
Those of you who are not NPD but looking for support in dealing with an NPD, you are more than welcome to use either the Caregivers Forum or the Relationships Forum.
Thank you for understanding!

Having an open discussion about NPD is one thing, but I think some of the posts here are going a bit too far. This forum isn't the place to vent about how much you think narcissists suck and have ruined your life, there are many forums just on this website where you can do that and get better support, and there are a slew of websites out there for recovering from growing up with a narcissist(s) for parents.
This forum is for people with NPD or similar issues to be able to talk about their thoughts, and yes, struggles. Narcissists (and psychopaths) are people, too. When people are cut, their blood is red no matter what kind of person they are, they are still human beings.
Dehumanizing an entire group of people, narcissists in this case, is not going to benefit anyone's healing process.
I hope that the moderators don't have to step in here, because I think before this conversation started devolving some interesting discussions were happening.
Just my two cents.
