Funny, I just got an email from PsychCentral newsletter with the subject line "The Cumulative Effect of Narcissist Abuse".

It seems these narcissism centered blogs are mainly used for the author to vent, which seems to be a legitimate use of blogs (if my understanding is correct). But I've also seen the narcissism blog writers distorting the concept--it was kind of troubling to see it on the Professional section, where one author routinely described people who can't be controlled, particularly someone who won't behave the way she wanted, as an example of narcissists having bad boundaries.

I am a survivor of one family member who has the disorder and also a sociopath, so I had to quit reading these blogs. It was kind of confusing to read that the one trying not to be controlled was the one with the boundary problems. It reminded me too much of childhood trauma.

I just kind of laughed though when I saw the subject line in my inbox and remembered this thread. Nice that John responded to the feedback here.
