Psychopath and Narcissist Survivors Support Group

I am confused as to the diagnosis of N/P and the fact that because they are aware of what they are doing, that they can be held accountable for what they do. Do you feel that even though they are aware of the way they behave, persons with N/P should be be seen as sane even though they have a poor locus of control ?

You are mixing metaphors and professional terms, probably because you are not qualified to use them. For instance, there is no such thing as "poor locus of control".

My advice to you: let go of the psycho-babble.

Now, to your question:

Narcissists and psychopaths are sane. Personality disorders are NOT mental illnesses.

Narcissists are not prone to "irresistible impulses" and dissociation (blanking out certain stressful events and actions). They more or less fully control their behavior and acts at all times. But exerting control over one's conduct requires the investment of resources, both mental and physical. Narcissists regard this as a waste of their precious time, or a humiliating chore. Lacking empathy, they don't care about other people's feelings, needs, priorities, wishes, preferences, and boundaries. As a result, narcissists are awkward, tactless, painful, taciturn, abrasive and insensitive.
