That's it! I'm done!

Gee Briedy, that anger about nothing really sounds like an NPD trait...that "narcisisstic injury." It is suppose to be not very common, however, the really can't tell because it's so underdiagnosed. It happends when kids are either out of this world dotted on, extremely spoiled and made to think that they're God or....the other end of the spectrum, where they are either very abused or very often when they're treated indifferently, as if they don't matter one way or another in this world. They begin to have a need to be someone else. I think not only is it really sad, but it's quite a fascinaating illness when you think what goes on in the brain to make these changes. They even say there's some evidence that there is a genetic predisposition.

Really Rene? Was Roger an old boyfriend? If you see that much similarity from only my description (very inadequate) you might be interested in seeing more, just out of curiosity.

This is written by some smart guy who actually realized that he is a narcissist....highly uncommon. It is very good info.

Anyhow, back to the original post. This guy who put his dog in the garbage can, I don't think is a narcississt. LOL. He is missing some very key traits. But, he does have some strong narcissist type traits without having the disorder. And lack of empathy is a very scary thing. Without that, one is not human...not really. He probably has some, but not much. He's just very self centered, ignorant and arrogant....a jerk. LOL.

Yeah, Roger's the ex-live in (the one who eventually got the poison ivy treatment, lol) He also had a total lack of empathy. He also had some "spells" that could only be described as schizophrenic - when he would "become" someone else . . . Even his facial features would change drastically.

Definitely the result of bad breeding . . .
