I think we ought to follow the Norwegians and consider narcissism a trait and not a disorder. People spend entirely too much time trying to understand people who think themselves narcissists when it's a personally trait that we all posses. They aren't unique. I mean its like being intrigued by allergy sufferers - we all sneeze. This is coming from the daughter of a so called narcissist. Stop giving them the attention they crave, as I did, and be amazed by their immediate loss of power.
