Quora Answers: Recognizing Narcissistic Personality Disorder

I wish I could say I can easily identify anyone with even a mild case of NPD from a mile away.

For the most part, my intuition is extremely accurate.

And I definitely trust it.

I have a tendency to be hyper-vigilant at this point, though, and don’t socialize much.

I also try to avoid meeting new people.

On the rare occasions I ventured out, I was mistaken a couple of times.

I thought people were trying to manipulate me when they were just being nice.

But I’d rather be safe than sorry, and prefer to err on the side of caution.

Unfortunately, I recently failed completely to spot it in someone I allowed to get close to me.

And I almost didn’t see it until it was too late.

With all I know about narcissists and their manipulation techniques, I still came close to letting my Narcissistic father fool me again.

I realize now that I was continuing to deny the truth.

I also think that was a unique situation because of the emotional attachment I felt toward him.

All things considered, I feel lucky to have recognized it when I did.

Better late than never, I guess.

To answer your question, yes, I do find it relatively easy to spot people with NPD.

Unfortunately, I also find it relatively easy not to.
