Narcissists are basically very very bad people. Sadly most of them thrive because we live in a slightly bad world. People let them get away with being that way because most people are slightly apathetic and lazy and fearful.

At thought at first I was being targeted because I needed better boundaries, or more self respect. But the deeper I got the more I saw what it demanded from me. I got deeper and the world sped by as I went to a place people haven’t gone before, like driving into a long long tunnel. It started to demand not only my survival, but survival of my soul, of this difficult scary thing of doing the right thing. 

There was a psychological study that proved that exposure to a narcissist will make you narcissistic the more you stay around them.

You have to be good, even when you have every reason not to be. You have to go to the limit of your strength and anger, and yet not take revenge, you have to be clever and sharp and then surrender to the unknowable.  You have to grieve and then laugh. You have to be calm when you’re hunted. You have to have compassion and then let go of things that matter most.

my friends that stayed present right to the very end, I know they were the best of people.
