The malignant narcissist can abuse financially, sexually, emotionally, or physically. This can cause them to engage in abuse they would want to keep hidden.

User Rating: 5 / 5

In my work I have found that personalities with mild ADHD type traits tend to become successful in sales. Their persuasive nature make them successful in this and many other careers that require creative out of the box thinking and influencing.

Should narcissists be allowed to hold jobs that entitle them to have power over others, such as teachers, psychologists, doctors, etc.?

User Rating: 5 / 5

From personal and professional experience I do not think unhealthy narcissts should be allowed to hold jobs that entitle them to have power over others. This in my view includes other professions such as past Presidents, the Judiciary, CEO's, Psychiatrists, Therapists, GP'S, Medical consultants, Teachers etc.

Are narcissists typically wealthy individuals, or are they lower class?

User Rating: 5 / 5

My experience through my work is that many are typically wealthy rather than poor. Their lack of conscience and their impulsiveness can allow them to take risks others would not. They can also feed of other’s wealth to bolster their low self esteem.

Interesting question because I have wondered about this myself and have discussed this indirectly in my blogs. What if narcissists started out as an undiagnosed ADHD/Asperger/dyslexic students?

I’m being bullied by a narcissist boss. What can I do?

User Rating: 5 / 5

I would encourage you to leave before you become totally destabalised. They do not change. They will be surrounded by their flying monkeys and harems so you will have little or no support.

How do I become immune to the tactics of my narcissistic family and focus on my career?

User Rating: 5 / 5

Detachment and in some instances no contact is essential if you are not being heard, given choice, being respected or if you are being gaslighted or used for their gains.

How come narcissists have taken control of the world?

User Rating: 5 / 5

I am not sure they have quite taken over the world but there are many who seek power and control that's for sure.
This has been the position for hundreds of years. The church controlled society and the state to the detriment of many. All for their own personal feed and greed with no conscience -- at the expense of the quality of life and sometimes life and mental health of the ordinary person.
