1. He wouldn't be a lot worse than many people I know

(including myself to some degree) if he just didn't have so much power to hurt people.

2. i agree.. most of the people work with are narcissistic.. i told them i was

hard of hearing and every time they try to bother me i say 'What!' real loud over and over.. they leave me alone.. i take my breaks outside, there is some compensation for being a cranky Old fart.

one guy is an Explosive Narcissistic, he is really sick.. i poke a stick at him if he gets near me, they are crazy and i have to act crazy to have any peace. if i didn't i would be doing everything on the floor while they jerked off some place or followed me around telling me what to do, and how to do it better.. glad i am moving in a couple weeks friday is my last day

3. yes

pathological narcissism is not benign -- it is one of the most distructive personality disorders out there. Extreme narcissists are chameleons--they can come off as perfectly nice at first...but they are capable of the most insidious forms of exploitation and criminal acts.

5. yes I know that is a good site thanks

I have become interested in the topic--especially since it seems apparent that our country has been hijacked by a band of pathological narcissists. I think this may be a far greater problem in government and high positions than people realize. Look at Lay and Skilling for example, of Enron fame.

CHECK THIS OUT for A CLASSIC Narcissist defense:

What's bugging Skilling?

Sometimes, as a columnist, you find yourself amazed at the little gifts that come your way. For example, Jeff Skilling talking about eating bugs. In case you missed it, Skilling gave an interview to the Wall Street Journal over the weekend that included this little gem:

To prepare for the rigors of the trial, Mr. Skilling said he wandered through the Utah wilderness for two weeks, hiking up to 30 miles a day, as part of a survival-training program. He slept on the ground, had no food for the first three days and then dined largely on whatever he could find, including insects. (He recommends caterpillars and grub worms, which "are basically pure fat.") (snip)

All worm-eating aside, Skilling blames himself for his conviction. He still doesn't accept any responsibility, mind you, but he says that by talking so much after Enron's collapse -- the testimony before Congress, the meetings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the interview on "Larry King Live" -- he provided prosecutors with ammunition to use against him at trial.

"I was the best source of information that the government had. Absolutely," he said. (snip)

"Stupid me," he said with a laugh, though he added that he still believes speaking out was the "ethical" thing to do.

More ethical, apparently, than being honest with shareholders. All of this twisted narcissism is classic Skilling. It's his fault, see, because he was so good at providing information, prosecutors couldn't have convicted him without his own help.

But what is he really saying? At the time he made all his public statements, he said he was doing it because he had nothing to hide and because he wanted to get the truth out. So if that same truth is what prosecutors used to convict him, then all the bug-eating in the world couldn't have prepared him to mount a better defense. The fact is that Skilling's defense, which is probably the most expensive in history, was as good as could be expected. His testimony was far better than many of us expected it would be going into the trial. In the end, it only lacked one thing: truth.
That, according to Skilling, he'd already given to the other side.
