I tried to ask for advice in another thread but the posters who responded either didn't have direct experience with narcissism, or didn't think it was related to my encounter with the person.

Anyway. I'm interested in discussing narcissism - not as a trend of psychology but as actual traits or even as a disorder. It does effect people and it does exist. It's not just a label.

So, if you have any experience with narcissism, I hope you will discuss it here with me.

I believe I have had a lot of encounters with both men and women over the years who possess narcissistic traits, and I'd like to hear from others who have too. Please don't respond to this thread if you haven't. That's not the point.
