[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you like her or not? Trying to figure out "what" she is is pointless. If she's not fitting into your life, do something about it.

In my experience, people who go all in on narcissism diagnoses and trying to figure out "what kind of narcissists" people are are usually the narcissists themselves. THEY are the ones causing trouble, but they don't get it, so they have to try really hard to find out what kind of mental illness everyone else in their life has.[/quote]

Not true, person who has likely been called a narcissist.  [/quote]

Well, yes and no. My mother cut off every single person in her life (I am not kidding - me, sister, father, in laws, her own parents, neighbors) AND found a way to diagnose them ALL as some kind of narcissist. She is the only person I've known in real life who has gone down these internet rabbit holes of trying to find out what is "wrong" with other people, when really, she is the common denominator with the mental illness.

I don't think acutal pscyhologists care much about "covert narcissists" etc. It's a way for people with relationship problems to try and deflect attention away from themselves by trying to figure out exactly is "wrong" with everyone else.[/quote]
