You're so vain, you probably think this thread is about you. Don't you?This thread is about me, isn't it.......

The best way to deal with anybody you don't want to deal with is:
1. Get rid of your mobile phone. 2. Change your e-mail address. 3. Change your name( it costs about $100) 4. Hire Mike Hammer 4. Have a 'pen-camera' in your top pocket recording when you meet that person so you can get recriminating evidence. I had a girlfriend in the 80's who wouldn't let me access her trust account, and sadly, she slipped on a banana peel. No, but I knew this girl in the 1980's and she kept on saying 'do you really think I'm beautiful?' She kept looking at herself in the mirror, combing her hair. Wanted me to comb it. I have boderline Narcissism myself. Sometimes I go up to the shopping centre dressed in a pin-striped suit, and with a black toupee. I paint a pencil moustache.
Hi,
Just curious.
What are some reasons you think people are narcissistic? Do you think it's innate, learned or a bit of both?
Do you have some interesting real-life examples of people you know or have run into that fall into this category?
What's the best way to deal with a narcissist when he/she is affecting your life negatively?
Thanks for your thoughts.
It seems, lately, I've been noticing several people around me who just seem to take over conversations just to hear themselves prattle on.
Also, some are very quick to judge and see things from only their point of view. They don't seem to have that little voice inside that rejects feelings for only themselves and really makes them stop and think about others...like a sense of entitlement they didn't earn.
At a teacher training last week, a new girl had been hired, and it was her first time to meet the faculty. During the activities, she just took over, without really knowing the group and its dynamic. Some may say she's just a "leader;" most of us saw it as rude and invasive.
She just seemed to be silently screaming, "LOOK AT ME! I'M HERE AND HAVE IMPORTANT THINGS FOR YOU TO NOTICE!" Very revealing.
Everyone is entitled to my opinion, right?
I don't think so, either. Sounds like he's been off-kilter the whole time.My ol' pal here I'm palaverin' about, he seemed to get worse as he got older.
We met when we were twenty, and through our lives there were extended periods we never saw or spoke to one another.
Life in it's quirky way would bring us together, and every time his behavior would drive me batsquat nuts quicker.
Suppose it could have been me
maybe being less tolerant, but I really don't think so.
Only after I tell you what it is.
I'd answer all your questions, but I'm still looking in the mirror.................
Oh yeah he was,.but when we first met he was what we all thought was just a little oddball arrogant...heI don't think so, either. Sounds like he's been off-kilter the whole time.
