I think that's testament to how much awareness this book encouraged. I'm wagering a guess that because we wonder or are concerned that we might be a narcissist that we aren't. But what do I know? :) Hi Tony. Hey that's great that you have been encouraged to read this book. I hope you enjoy it. Let me know what you think. Yeah... some of us don't need a narcissist in our lives to be hard on us... we're experts at it. :-D Hi Jannie.

I questioned if I could be a narcissist too, but then I can be ridiculously hard on myself most of the time any way. My friends shake their heads about it on more than a few ocassions. Yup, I am damaged I'm afraid! :P Excellent review. It achieved for me what all good reviews should... made me want to check out this book for myself! Waiting for the confirmation link now... :) .-= Tony Single´s last blog ..<a href="http://trottersville.com/2010/02/17/the-ant-and-the-cicada/">The Ant and the Cicada</a> =-.

We all probably have moments of it, guided by fear or ego. It's good to wonder and question, as it is only ever ourselves we can change. I too like what Chris says about taking responsibility for our own role in toxic relationships. That realization is a true gift we give ourselves!

I agree. It is important to acknowledge our feelings. And... it's also important to check in with ourselves to see why we are feeling what we are feeling; to not make the other person the full reason for it. There are so many layers and it's usually not about the first thing we think of. Usually, if we *are* feeling anything; if there is a 'hook', then we have something to look at. Hi Jannie. It was a bit disturbing. I began to wonder if *I* was a narcissist. Really makes you think doesn't it? That's why I think that if we are true to ourselves and take care of "us", there is no need to point fingers or assign labels. Hi Chris.

I LOVED it. I mean, it disturbed me a bit, as I realized I do know a narcissist, one I can easily now avoid, because a long-term pattern of their behavior demonstrates what's in this article!
