…and were involved with a Narcissist, know that stupid is exactly how the N wants you to feel. Know that and allow yourself the luxury of mourning what might have been, had the individual been different; mourn the illusion, but then dry your eyes, know you’re NOT stupid and move on. When you feel stupid […]
I see a lot of search terms in my stats that include “narcissim in the work place” and “how to spot narcissism in the work place.” The first and best bit of advice I can provide is this: It’s just as difficult to spot it, initially, as it is in personal interactions. Narcissists abound, within […]
Narcissists ARE evil. Reasonable doubt doesn’t enter this picture. While there are reasons that a narcissist acts the way he or she acts, those reasons do not excuse their CHOICE to act that way.

I just read a post entitled No Longer Dead and I knew immediately what this woman was dealing with based on the first half of her post. My assumption is that the second half is her, telling herself that she will not accept this individual any longer until or unless he acquiesces to her completely legitimate and […]
For those of you who are trying to find love online, here’s an example of a dating profile you should avoid. I dated this person, and since his profile is public content, there is nothing illegal about re-posting it here. I will not post his dating-site handle (but I wish I could so women in […]
I could paraphrase and plagiarize the article I just read, but it doesn’t bear re-writing. It is perfect as it is and I think it’s an extremely important article.
