In reply to the discussion: Narcissistic men have higher levels of stress hormone [View all]seabeyond
(110,159 posts)11. you know what you are talking about, that is evident. i have had a lifetime watching with my middle
brother. and what you say, being raised in that thinking it is the norm is so very true, and what concerns me the most about my niece and two nephews. i see the results.

but yes, i can picture a friend of hubbys. lol and seeing behaviors that absolutely point to what you are talking about.
i agree whole heartedly with your post. thanks for this. i really find the subject fascinating.
