I have had several very unpleasant encounters with people who I believe to be suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to how to handle this type of person.
I have a strong preference for kinaesthetic and am extremely good at feeling the energy coming from people. Because of this I see straight through most deceptions and can quickly figure people out (this has nothing to do with NLP, I have always done this). Because of this I think I terrify the afore mentioned people and they seek to discredit me by persistant lies directed at me. I am not willing to roll over for these people, even though I know this is one way to stop their negative intentions towards me.
Any suggestions?
I was also wondering about rapport with people like this. From what I understand, rapport makes the subconscious think that you are like them. Wouldn't some people feel incredibly threatened by that. If you know you are a lying, manipulative so and so who thinks you are better than everyone else, and you meet someone who appears to be just like you. wouldn't this set off alarm bells?
