Common Traits Of A Narcissist
- Sense of entitlement / superior
- Lack of empathy

What do you believe in and how easily will it be to take you down a road that was meant for your destruction?
We believe that the best way to get narcissism out of your life is to start working on improving yourself first and then watch the change happen in your mate.
