Oh. That was meant to be touching. I didn't get it, I'm sorry.
Thank-you.
And ha! That's the the funniest thing you've said in awhile. :)
I would be lying if I said that I laced into maria for purely altruistic reasons. I enjoyed decimating that one in particular, because she was deluded about many things, tempermental, and easily manipulated. I had ferreted out several of her weaknesses and triggers, and- let's face it- big glaring red buttons beg to get pushed.
That said, Maria, in particular, would have been shredded for demonstrating such an abject lack of self respect here- and she was the sensitive type, for all her blustering about being an "alpha" female. As it is, we still call her "tits". So I maintain that I did, in fact, do her a favour- though she'd probably have a much different interpretation of the incident.
There isn't one... it's all a spectrum of the same thing. Even in the latest DSM they've been debating on combining narcissism with ASPD (Sociopathy). As a whole these things are simply diagnostic terms to help a health care provider distribute the most agreed upon method of treatment. Things aren't this black and white, as much as we like to put things into neat little boxes, it just isn't that simple...
