It’s always good to find a “tell.”

In this case, that flicker of emotion might be best done with others around, to stress them and make them keep up appearances—and protect you.

This subject makes me feel uncomfortable...and I think I’m entitled to being comfortable on every thread. And you won’t change my mind.;-)

Yeah but then aren’t I a bit of a narc giving a person unwarranted negative feedback?

Then they should avoid me it seems.

First, the narcissistic personality sounds like most people nowadays.

And second, I’d like to think the narcissist reveals themselves more clearly than a fleeting almost imperceptible facial tick.

Some folks are harder to read than others. Maybe their whole family behaved that way; everyone emoting openly and spontaneously without hesitation or shame.

Then a family next door places more value on appearing strong, steady and stoic. They learn to keep a placid, neutral expression on their face and in their voice.

Someone may have grown up with a violent alcoholic as a parent, and does not want this parent to know that they’ve touched a nerve, as this may only lead to more harrassment.

Can we make the a protected victim class?

People with a narcissistic personality see the world as an extension of themselves, and because of that, they regard the needs of others as less important. Narcissists, it has been noted, tend to be stubborn and envious and behave in ways that suggest they feel entitled to whatever they desire. Psychologists have also found that such traits can make a person uncomfortable to be around and that others tend to respond negatively to such behavior.

Good morning Hilary. Could you help me with...?

Okay, never mind, can I leave now?

I’m a very sensitive empathic guy who feels everything, except when I’m dealing with a narcissist. Most people radiate energy all the time. You can blindfold me and I still feel it and usually know who it is, even from a distance.

When I am around a narcissist, I feel nothing. They are like a piece of furniture. They suck energy rather than radiate it.

I’ve learned to spot them now as they feel like a void. I identify them by what is missing rather than what is present.

We are ALL bad people perfectly capable of doing anything to each other. Hopefully we will all come to terms with our fallen nature and beg God’s forgiveness, and forgive each other, because our own salvation requires it.

They also note that narcissistic traits can be problematic for relationships, and for that reason, they have suggested that non-narcissists learn to identity identify people with such a personality before becoming heavily involved with them.

I guess we know what George Bush is— he drove into the garage wall when Laura told him his speech wasn’t very good.

Be critical and facial spasms...
