Hi Sam!

I know of several narcissists that run a "religious organization."

My question is, do narcissists recognize other narcissists? And do they view each other as competition for supply, especially when they both occupy the same "space"?

Thanks!

Hi Sam...

I think I found the answer to my ponderings. You wrote:

Sometimes others like me recruit me into their magic. But that's ok. As long as we feed off of each other, who's the worse for wear? It only confirms my illusion about my illusions: that I am no different from most other people, just a bit better.

A shared, constructed illusion, is my understanding.

Thank you for your time.
