To think if someone has five exes they call “narcissists”, they were probably the drama?

One narcissist? Unlucky. Five? Common denominator.

I think narcissist is such an over-used term these days!

Apart from the fact that those raised by narcissists tend to be attracted to them and so it is highly likely that such a person will be doomed to a series of relationships with people with NPD characteristics.

You seem quick to judge and dismiss this person. Can I ask why?

If you want to understand the truth, discussion is probably best.

Maybe. It might be that they attract a certain type, too. Only you can answer that by how her relationships appear.

I once said to a friend who sent me a photo of her latest bf 'oh, he's you're type' and she was confused and asked 'do I have a type?'. They were all meathead, buff, self absorbed types that reeled her in, then strung her along, only looking for sex. Two were violent physical abusers. She is slowly learning at 45.......

It might have taken years for OP to start wondering about this.

I think that person enjoys the drama of the word narcissist but the reality is a lot more shit and after two actual narcissist relationships no human would get involved with a third.

Maybe I'm harsh. Four, absolute tops.
