I guess it's a matter of degree. I would think that a paranoid schizophrenic
would be debilitated, at least somewhat. They would require medication and
supervision to lead a "normal" life, NPD doesn't require medication, but it
might be harder to treat, I will concede that point. And I would also
concede that it would be difficult to deal with, but probably equally
difficult for individuals in close contact with the person having the
disorder.

done a

Indeed John, "A Narcissist (notice the capital N) has no sense of self.
If not reflected by others, he feels annulled, dead, void. It is a
harrowing experience".
I have observed that Boob comes close to appoplexia when this
group threatens to ignore hime.
