Re: DSM-5 Exes, and other adventures in armchair diagnosis

No, I'm not implying anything about people abused by narcissists, and nowhere in my comment is their anything to suggest that my "first instinct" is to "automatically" suspect anyone of being a narcissist.

I'm saying that almost certainly, there are narcissists who've learned that claiming to have been abused by narcissists is a great way of enlisting people's sympathy and obtaining narcissistic supply. One way narcissists rope in their targets is by making the target feel special, and what better way to do that than to convey "You understand what I've suffered"? It also makes the target feel responsible for the narcissist's well-being.
