by Kathy Krajco Into virtually every life comes disaster. Bankruptcy, serious illness, divorce, getting laid-off or fired, failure of any sort -- you name it, whether through your own fault or not. How will a narcissist in your life react to the situation? Add it up: You mean nothing to him or her. You are just an object to exploit for their aggrandizement. They have no human feelings for you (despite the occasional put-on) whatsoever. And now...

by Kathy Krajco And so, what do you do if you cannot forgive your abuser? What SHOULD you do? Which party is the obstacle to reconciliation here? You or your abuser? What should you do? Just accept it. It's a fact. Let it be. You cannot really change it: all you can do is delude yourself about it.

Narcissists and the Language of Babel by Kathy Krajco Quite a few years ago, I saw a documentary on TV about batterers. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the name of the program or the expert being interviewed, but what he said I think is self evident to anyone who has ever tried to communicate with an abusive person. What was it? He pointed out that in arguments between the victim and the batterer (not beatings, just arguments), the victim...

Barack Obama's narcissism has frequently been commented upon, but Glenn Reynolds makes an interesting and potentially important observation: I think Obama's "charisma" was based on voter narcissism -- people excited not just about electing a black President, but about themselves, voting for a black President. Now that's over, and they're stuck just with him, and emptied of their own narcissism there's not much there to fill out the suit...

"Why Me?"by Kathy KrajcoLike all predators, narcissists target the vulnerable.Many things can make a person vulnerable. Being smaller than the narcissist. Having less power in the company.
