[quote=Anonymous]I have slowly realized that two of my most intense and meaningful relationships in my life were with narcissists, or at least with people who had a lot of narcissistic tendencies. Both were amazingly good at making me feel good on the good days.  Both made me feel horrible about myself on the bad days, which far outnumbered the good days.

The sex with them was not any better than the best sex I've had with other partners, if I'm thinking about sex from a purely physical standpoint, but sex with them usually felt incredible from an emotional standpoint.  Nothing else has come close.

Now everyone else seems a little bit boring, in just about every way.

By the way, they were both covert narcissists. I didn't even know what that was until a few months ago. I thought narcissists were always kinda like Trump, the world's most famous narcissist. It turns out there are other kinds of narcissists. I'm repulsed by Trump type narcissists. The kind I'm drawn to is less grandiose. They claim to be the victim all the time.  I was always trying to please them and usually coming up short. When I seemed to satisfy them, I was in heaven.

I'm a man.  They are women. I'm glad I figured this out. I'm not sure what it means for future relationships.
