After a discussion here about Narcissists, this popped up, so thought I would share it.

For me it has mostly been the fact that I could not live with someone long term over loving them. After almost forty years I can say that I still love my girlfriend of the time, I however could not have kept living with her. It would have destroyed me. There is more to it than this but that does not mean it is still not true.

I believe all love is conditional to varying degrees. Even when we claim it isn't.

Aside from the tangential meanderings of this article, a narcissist has a missing brain part. Either missing or damaged. It's the part that lets a person think about and care about another person. The narcissist can't really be concerned with the welfare of others. A narcissist often learns to "pretend" to care about others, chiefly so he will be accepted socially by other people. But the bottom line is he thinks about himself as top priority. And is simply incapable of anything different.

As someone who has spend her life being a magnet for that type of personality disorder, this coincides with everything I have read about covert narcissism.

@Deb57 I sure wish that our "sex education" classes in school and college spent some time teaching kids and young adults about some of the more commonly seen disorders that show up while dating and what follows.

@mischl that would have been monumentally helpful. If school was actually meant to help kids navigate adulthood, I can imagine few subjects that could make more of a difference.
