Dealing with narcissists is much like gambling . The house always wins . Just leave the table .

It is truly disturbing that the only logical way to fix our problems has to be physically removing ourselves from the lives of the narcissists or suspected narcs in our lives . I hope science evolves and we can find more information about the origins of this . Obviously it is a survival mechanism because these people don’t change even in the face of death . But it would help to have more information as to why. Personally , my grandma / dad , and my younger brother all share the same personality traits . It is very interesting . We weren’t raised by our grandmother yet my younger brother shares characteristics with her . Not good ones. And also i strongly believe narcissism is associated with a lower IQ look at our current administration .

side note : Empathy is an evolutionary adaptation .
