I'll preface this by saying I think I might be a narcissist, or maybe somewhere on the spectrum. Reading this is kind of puzzling for me though. I honestly believe these are qualities most humans carry with them to various degrees.
If I were to replace the word "narcissist" with the word "women" in many of these posts, I think the vast majority of men would agree with the statements (and giggle inside)
For example:
I don't mean to downplay your struggles. I get you have been abused by someone who is probably uncharacteristically bad. I can understand how you want answers and explanations for what happened to you... but how many of these qualities can you honestly identify within yourself, or within all people?
How will you decide when to put a person into this category and when not to?
It seems like it could be a blanket term used for anyone who does you wrong that you apply in hindsight as a means of consoling yourself. It might also create unnecessary conflict to group people into categories that can be demonized. I don't mean to demonize women in the quotes above, but how does it make you feel when I do that? ... It might make you unnecessarily combative, making it harder to reason with you (as a narcissist woman)
Looking forward how will you address it?
Also, isn't "narcissism" on the rise globally as a result of technological advancements that now cause us to socialize with a tribe of billions of people, throwing our self-esteem and social tracking systems out of wack? ... Meaning that the majority of people you meet are going to be somewhat narcissistic, especially the younger they are.
