[quote=Anonymous]My ex is a diagnosed NPD. The word sociopath was also used, but he was never formally diagnosed.

He's a pretty charming guy, but he deteriorated in middle age once life got hard.

I agree with others here that the impact is huge. So are the fractured relationships. I am the kind of person who is still friends with people from high school. My ex is exactly the opposite - after "disputes," he just moves on from person to person, group to group.

I have a crazy neighbor, and I suspect BPD or sociopathy. Other than that, I've known a lot of other difficult people, but none as bad as my neighbor and ex.

I think the difference is that you can work with run of the mill difficult people. It might not be fun, but you can do it. Think of the awful coworker down the hallway, or the mean MIL. But you can NOT work with a BPD or NPD or sociopath. The only thing you can do is run away as fast as possible, or they can destroy your life.

It all happens when they feel threatened. And they feel threatened all the time.
