NPD Gurus
Which reminds me, have you ever seen those narcissistic personality disorder gurus on the internet who teach people about narcissists? They're an odd bunch that's for sure...
Hym "Yeah, the NPD Gurus never seem like normal, well adjusted people. And I'm a psychopath so I have a pretty good sense of these things. They're often (seemingly) cold and dispassionate people. A lot of them have some kind of psychology background but they (at the very least) seem to show some of the more subtle traits of NPD. I imagine that psychology would be an attractive field of study for a narcissist. Just look at Dr. Jeepjorp. Or even Dr. Sam Vaknin (who is, himself, someone with narcissistic personality disorder). And it could be that (in the spirit of Simon Baron-Cohen's work) that these NPD Gurus are victims of narcissistic abuse and have, therefore, gone through the process of empathy erosion that is associated with narcissistic abuse. Either way, they are fascinating to watch. Most of them remind my of Dr. Vaknin himself. Which would make sense because, according to Dr. Jeepjorp Peepeestones, narcissism is a temperamental configuration and is the result of being low in agreeableness and conscientiousness and high in extroversion and, thus, would support the conclusion that they (The NPD Gurus) at the very least show like a someone with NPD. And this isn't intended to derogate them. They seem like the types that would make great cult leaders. And we all know how much I love cults."
