Speaking of narcissists..I clearly am one -- Nina's list of symptoms has once again confirmed my own diagnosis :) Is it so bad to be one ?..The worst that can happen is you get carried away, become a bit ridiculous, a bit antisocial, annoying, opinionated, but ultimately, you bear the brunt of your own eccentricities. The joke's on you. Unless there's other issues (not only you're a narcissist, you're also an out of control manic-depressive paranoid schizophrenic on crack..for example), they're harmless to people with healthy egos. The only person a narcissist can really hurt is another narcissist. Think about it. A narcissist always has to have a last word. So there'll be no end till the END. Death by vanity. What a way to go :)))
