Virtually all alienators exhibit strong narcissistic tendencies.

Yet the DSM diagnostic criteria for narcissistic personality

disorder focus almost exclusively on self-image, omitting

interpersonal aspects of the disorder. This talk clarifies key

relationship habits of such people. Knowledge is power.

Knowing that someone is blind prevents your feeling ignored

when they do not see you. Similarly, the more clearly you

understand what is missing in individuals who interact

narcissistically, the less upset you are likely to feel in

response to these deficits.
