If you could yell direct insight straight at a narcissist's true ego, unprotected and open to criticism....what would you say?

When I am watching the clips from the movie, I feel like watching Tom Cruise.

and people manipulate other people ALL THE TIME; if you've ever had a job you will know this. technically speaking all forms of human interaction involve manipulation...

it is a sad world when intelligence is deemed a vice.

Diagnosis is definitely stigmatized and could be counter-beneficial to what you are trying to attain as a clinician, but I believe it brings a much needed focus.

I would just like to note that one particular symptom I saw based on fundamental perspective of npd is his quick judgement of his gf having slept with the doorman without any proof. Judgement is often due to protection of ego. I believe that stems from being a vulnerable subtype of narcissistic personality disorder.

You people are pathetic and weak. I am an Omni Being. I was captured and sent to this dimension to live among humans. I hate mankind and some day I will find who sent me here, to this worthless world, full of mindless animals. I will have my revenge! I will prevail! Hail !

I knew a co-dependent girl, but she's immature and ugly. Too bad too because she would've hung around
