Reply To: NPD/ Malignant narcissism – how rampant is it really?

A personality disorder like NPD is just another way of saying someone is a bad person. NPD, psychopathy, antisocial etc. cannot be used as a defense in court. These people know that what they are doing is wrong, yet they do it anyway. But then there are normal people who have bad middos, but who don’t allow those bad middos to take over their lives. A personality disorder only means that someone has an established history of certain behaviors.

Anyway, I guess most people here were lucky enough not to cross paths with a malignant narcissist.

(Yes, I saw you said there is no such thing, Syag, but it’s a term that is used and understood as meaning “really bad” narcissism, so I am taking the liberty to use it as well.)
