I think most healthy people simply won't entertain a relationship with someone who displays high levels of narcissism. At least not in any meaningful way. I mean, why would they? ...is it wrong for me to say that? I don't know ...but it sounds like it would make for an interesting discussion.

For the most part this is true, as evidenced by the fact that most of my friendships and all of my romantic relationships have been with very unhealthy people. But I will say that I do have friendships in the here and now that are with healthy people, and they know how to counter my less than stellar behavior. Such people are rare, but they do exist. And I will say that I do respect a person instantly if they can see through me and call me on something I'm doing that they find distasteful without resorting to insulting me.
