Let’s dig into the delicious and decadent Cluster B addiction

For some of us, only a disordered person with malignant narcissism, borderline, psychopathy, or anti-social disorder will do. Everyone else pales in comparison to the spectacular light show and pyrotechnics that only a neuro-divergent can deliver.

They are charming and witty, interesting and clever, seductive and naughty. It is a delicious double serving of decadence and delight. But just wait till the bill comes. The cost of this bodacious buffet? It is a price that you can never afford to pay.

So why do some of us chase destruction and court disaster?

Do we not see the danger and step away to a safer place? I told someone recently that after experiencing the outrageous out-of-bounds-behavior of a narcissist, instead of walking away and never looking back, I stayed and faced them head-on and upped the ante. I seized the opportunity to always go one more step beyond. To not be deterred by their lawlessness, but rather just inspired to take it up a notch and always show them that whatever craziness they can bring, I can outperform it and surpass even their wildest dreams.
