[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 430517"] It seems that all of us who have encountered these narcissists and persons with sociopathic tendencies are deeply affected! It sure does leave an impression! OMG! AND isn't it interesting that there are so many males with the disorder? Now, I've ordered a book on narcissits..... I'm still formulating my opinion about it all. husband doesn't think someone can have sociopathic tendencies and thinks people like that are just extreme narcissists and only people like Ted Bundy are sociopaths. The author is making a case that there are people with sociopathic tendencies. Case in point...and would like to get some opinions re: my relative.... His wife gets a diagnosis of cancer of the throat. She stops smoking immediately. She gets treatment and does better...is considered "cured," at some point. The husband, the narcissist is a smoker. The wife and doctor tells him it is important that he either quits or at the very least does NOT smoke around her. He says nothing. Instead, he cuts back in the house, but still smokes in the house. She sleeps in the same bed as him and retires early. He likes to stay up late and watch late night TV. While she is sleeping, he lights up EVERY NITE in the same bad and chain smokes. Her clothes stink of cigarette smoke. It takes her a little while to figure it all out. She doesn't have the you know what's to throw a fit and leave. (SAD!) He is a charmer. He refuses to stop. Wont smoke in front of her, but it is OBVIOUS by the ashtray and the smell, that he has smoked half the night. She gets cancer again...this time terminal. He never apologizes, barely helps her through it all and during the entire time tries to get the entire family to feel sorry for HIM. Thoughts? I say narccisst with sociopathic tendencies! UGH! P.S. Sorry about my spelling...I tend to type fast when I come through here! [/QUOTE]
