I know a few people that are true narcissists coupled with being mild to moderate sociopaths ( they usually go hand in hand ). I’m a retired psychiatric RN and I can usually spot personality disorders within a short time around folks. By the way the hardest personality disorder to be around is Borderline Personality Disorder. They are the most trying and difficult to deal with.

Unlike psychiatric diagnoses such as Bi-polar, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Major Depression where meds are used to adjust imbalances of neuro transmitters in the brain. The problem with personality disorders is you can’t treat them with meds. It takes therapy, counseling, behavior modification and interventions to help. I have had many patients put on a hold 72hr hold but when you get them stable and they discharge they stop taking the meds and it becomes a vicious circle.
By the way, many folks don’t realize that when a psychiatrist puts someone on a 72hr hold, weekends and holidays don’t count towards the 72hr hold. If you are put on a hold on Friday, then you don’t leave till Tuesday at the earliest. And virtually nobody can get you released earlier, not even governor, lawyers etc.

A lot of people won't acknowlege that they have a problem and they won't take the first step to treatment.

I'm the product of two people who never should have had children, to include a narcissist, I don't need an online test to tell me I'm screwed in that regard.

I just try to be self-aware.

A lot of people won't acknowlege that they have a problem and they won't take the first step to treatment.

And the odds that a narcissist, sociopath, borderline pd will admit they have a problem is nill at best.

Most of them will be in denial and won't understand the entire subject to begin with. BTW...good article with good examples if a person is willing to objectively look at both sides.

Narcissism...

• grandiosity and self-importance
• sense of specialness and uniqueness
• fantasies of perfection and superiority
• need for praise and attention
• strong sense of entitlement
• lack of empathy
• jealousy, envy, and distrust
• arrogance and scorn
• a pattern of manipulating others

Sadly, there is every indication that my estranged wife of 27 yrs has Borderline Personality Disorder. She decided to leave the marriage in the past year, and we are now dealing with the next steps. Lots of Prayers, Trusting God and Waiting on the Lord for me. The next future chapter will be better.

I am reading a suggested book ...

STOP WALKING ON EGGSHELLS: TAKING YOUR LIFE BACK WHEN SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT HAS BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER (2020)​

Managing a lot of people allows you to notice personalities...

The worst personality to manage are the work martyrs. People that NEED recognition for them feeling they do special things. Then when they don't get it, they pout and become a victim.

I get rid of them...

Does that not make them a "victim"

I agree with you though.

I agree with you though.

I acknowledge it as...I fulfil their wishes of being a real victim.
