> I'm not so sure about the introvert/extrovert dichotomy. I think a narcissist can covet equally what he sees in an extrovert or an introvert. Extroverts can't have a strong self identity, values, convictions, etc?
I agree in not falling into the black and white trap; but most extroverts (imo) are not narcissists, while all narcissists are extroverts. I did not articulate that as well as I could have.
> Anyway, narcissists are no more responsible for their condition than I am for being bipolar.I disagree. Narcissism is not a mental illness, imo; I don't care what the DSM says.
Narcissists know right from wrong. They know how to NOT hurt an individual when they are pursuing you and priming you for months on end. They can control THAT. Once they 'got you' - they then make a conscious decision to hurt and abuse you; to break you down.
