You have that uneasy feeling in your stomach that something isn't quite right, but you can't seem to put your finger on it. Then the truth starts to emerge from the fog. Your man has a 1-in-4 chance of being a narcissist, and you were the lucky one to get him.

Gaslighting is the circular conversation that you have where no one ever wins. It is the argument that never ends, because there is no resolution that is satisfactory to the narcissist, who never compromises. It is the projection of the narcissist's deficits back onto you, because he cannot take accountability for anything that he has ever said or done. It is the crazy making, the name calling, the false accusations, and the omission of the truth.

Many of us have met a person who suffers from caveman syndrome at one point in our lives. It may be the plumber, a teacher, your husband, or your boss at work.

He is chronically unhappy, and he strives to make everyone else in the world just as unhappy as he is.

Most of us have heard that narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder can cause a person to exhibit a whole slew of negative and unhealthy behaviors.

Last summer, with the help of demon-killer Stephen Tapper, Raven Smith faced Hell on Earth to stop the demon-apocalypse (or more like, put it on hold).

Narcissism is running rampant in our society. We are becoming victims of other people who are self-centric, self-absorbed, distrustful, and neurotic. Many of these people are experiencing delusions, psychotic episodes, hallucinations, cognitive deficits, attention deficits and memory deficits. They may have low IQ, head injury trauma or other disabilities that they have never exposed to us. You may be a very trusting person. You think that another person will be candid with you about the child abuse they experienced.

Many people think of the typical serial killer when they hear the word psychopath. The truth is that there are psychopaths in our daily lives, and we may not even know it. Unlike the other four conditions in the Misunderstood Loner series, the psychopathy disorder is generally something a person is born with versus something that is learned from his environment. His brain is wired a certain way that many of us do not understand, much like how an autistic person has distinct wiring in his or her brain.
