NPD...Narcissistic Personality Disorder. What the heck is that? Do you know anyone with this disorder? More importantly, do you have it? This has been on my mind a lot recently. I've only done a little bit of research on it...enough to know that I don't want it. Do you suffer from a relationship with someone that has this disorder? In talking with my brother, he suggested that we (my siblings and I) may all have a little bit of this disorder. I fully agree and therefore will strive forthwith to fight it.
Also, in feeling continuously hurt by someone with this disorder, I am finding that there is really no cure for it, but there are things I can do to maybe feel emotionally healed. My brother also suggested that I look at my own feelings and expectations I put on that person to be an accepted part of my life, and lay those expectations aside. That's all I can say right now. Maybe I will add more later on this topic as I learn more.

Hey Bonnie-chan! My dad suffered from Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Even though I came to understand that he was unable to change the way he was, his choices and behavior has hurt me deeply. I think more people need to be aware of this disorder and given tools to identify people who have it in order to protect themselves from becoming involved in relationships with those who have it. Tonikaku, good luck with this person - hope you don't mean me!! I don't think you are at all narcissistic. We are all selfish and caught up in our own lives sometimes but that doesn't make us narcissistic.
