It is so refreshing to be able to talk about this with someone who is not the victim of a narcissist. That gets so played out. In the thrivers community it's understood and accepted we have fleas. It really gets on my nerves when victims of narcissists don't get over it. The ironic thing is now I'm helping all 3 communities: cluster Bs, friends and family and survivors. I have to be super nonjudgmental . I think you are one of my favorite people on psych central.

I always chuckle when someone calls me "honest" in any context. It's not laughing AT the person who made the remark, it's laughing at the irony of it because I'm known for many things by many people and one of the things I'm infamous for is being a prolific liar.
It's funny because I was a victim of a narcissist, or well I would have been... my father has full blown NPD. He was an abusive **** for my entire childhood and adolescence. But he just did not affect me like he did affect everyone else in my immediate family. I've never been able to explain that, or why I have this extensive and documented severe trauma history in general that just didn't seem to affect me like it would have totally decimated someone else if they were in my shoes.
Thanks for the favorite remark, you're not the first one who's said that. As a person with known narcissism I won't lie, I enjoy the ego stroke and thank you for it.
