[quote=Anonymous]What makes a person with NPD tricky is that they create a kind of mythology about themselves (and others, as it reflects on them), and they work very hard to uphold it. They keep people close who they can convince/control to keep the story going. They tend to cut off anyone who questions or sees through the mythology they've created. If you never had much experience with this, you don't expect people to be so dedicated to illusion. Or, conversely, you grew up with this, and it feels normal, or you feel compelled to please or prove things to others. That's how people get sucked into relationships with narcissists. And then, one day you start realizing that nothing is what they say it is. They've been describing themselves and various people, including you, according to the narrative they need to live in, and working to manipulate it to be so, but none of it is quite true. [/quote]
