[quote=Anonymous][quote]NP. Does anyone have statistics on narcissistic disorder in general population? What is it, 2%, 5%, 10%? Genuinely curious.[/quote]

I agree with the PP that this would be a hard statistic because by definition narcissists refuse to recognize that there is anything wrong with their behavior.

I have only had to deal with one in my entire life and I have known many people throughout my life. If she wasn't related to us then we would have never been within her sphere so I think people tend to encounter them within families or perhaps work environments.

Narcissists target people who initially give them the attention that they crave. This means that there needs to be proximity, the target has to be worthy of the narcissist wanting them as their source, the target had to be unsuspecting enough to fall into their trap, or the target has to be someone willing to give into obligation or entitlement a few times for the narcissist to latch on. Others around the narcissist may find them to be self centered, grandiose, annoying, or generally obnoxious but until they become a target they don't realize that the person is a narcissist.
