If you are dealing with a narcissist, you may find the following information about their traits useful:
1. If you have a lover, spouse or ex with these traits, just know that you may not count to her as much as you think. Knowing this can help protect you.
2. Once the relationship is over, your history with him is not that important.
3. Many of these characters have a tough time getting older and good therapy can help them transition to being a better person. Generally, this happens when their beauty, wealth or accomplishments fail to work for them anymore.
4. The mid-life crisis of a narcissist can be one of the more satisfying psychotherapies. They need love like everyone else; and better late than never.
5. Narcissists as a group have a powerful sense of urgency. They want a lot out of this life. And some of them make a real contribution to the worlds of acting, academics, religion, politics, science, literature and yes, psychology.
