How to Stop Being a Narcissist

By Greedycrook

Self-help guide for narcissists, and advice for their victims: 'Run!' Stark descriptions of the typical, terrible things narcissists do, with some dark humour. Narcissists can be dangerous, so I hope they will forgive my unflattering portrayal of them; of course they will, they love themselves.There is no cure for Narcissistic Personality Disorder supposedly, but I have attempted the impossible. Narcissists need to heal; they are mentally ill. They have broken minds from the pain they have suffered, so they deserve some compassion, but from a safe distance of course. Although I do know narcissists in real life, this is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events and incidents are either the products of the author’s imagination or treated in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. The fictional characters Narc and Emp are referred to as 'he' or 'she' throughout the text because, of course, narcissists, empaths etc can be either male or female. Narcissism pervades all Cluster B Personality Disorders, so although there are subtle differences, Narc stands for them all. I have had narcissists in my life for all of my life, and so far I have lived to tell the tale; like a sort of Steve Irwin of the Narc world. I might take up swimming with sharks or paddling with crocodiles instead; it would be a lot safer lol
