But of course anyone who interacts with a narcissist for any length of time comes away with PTSD. That's what I experienced until I broke the pattern. If I get too close to a narcissist now I feel...almost like....heat. Like from the drama. And I just recoil. I can't bear it. I think once the pattern is broken...one no longer has to be "nice" and accommodating to emotional vampires. In my last apartment I had a sign on my door...Drama Free Zone because I still knew a few of those vampires. Now...no signs on my door.
