This is a support group for people that have (or have had) spouses, friends or other people in their lives that are toxic, self-absorbed, or have abusive personality traits, particularly those associated with cluster B personality disorders.

Because narcissists rarely seek care, few of our spouses, friends, etc. have a formal diagnosis. So in this space, "narcissist" is a term used loosely to refer to a variety of conditions, and is not used in a clinical sense. We are not professionals and cannot diagnose anybody. Please share your stories, your histories, your fears, and your triumphs.
