One of the surest ways to ruin our life is to be in a close relationship with a narcissist. Whether it be a narcissist as a parent, husband, wife, colleague, or friend, if we are forced to deal with a narcissist on a daily basis we suffer.

The malignant narcissist is so convinced of his superiority, so in need of narcissistic supply, and so lacking in empathy that he submits to nothing but his own will, or as M. Scott Peck wrote in People of the Lie:
