A lifetime of unmitigated NPD would make a person a very practiced liar, at least. A seriously fucking smooth operator. A dubious honor, I think we'd agree...lol. Trouble ofc, is that at some point they might get so good at it that -they- no longer recognize the difference between the truth of themselves and the lie...and then it's flat out fucking psychosis.

Full disclosure, I miss shit-kicking-don't-give-a-fuck-flat out murderous rhythm...he knows it, he's still there, somewhere, but I'm better off without him. My best friend, to this day, misses him too...but only when we;re drunk and therefore not thinking clearly. He was an endless pain in the ass to the both of us and it;s to my buddies great credit that he didn;t just cut me loose...that we're still friends. I;m gonna go to the Columbus Zoo this coming month and skeez on his wife (she loves it) while our kids stare at the elephants.
