I've always thought I was pretty well versed in psychology. I've studied sociopaths and psychopaths a lot after a really toxic relationship in 2009-2012. I've always know that there are a mix of crazy traits in all women, and I've known for quite some time to never expect a relationship to last forever.
I kicked an 18 x month LTR to the curb in January. I have posted about it. The bad news is it has been one of my hardest breakups to get over. The good news is I've had two women in my bed since the end of January, neither of which time went really well but that's another story. I'm out there engaging with women, going to the gym, and going on about my life.
The point I am getting to is that this last GF I let my guard down and I failed to profile her other than just "crazy female traits". I just read this article here about 50 traits of a Narcissist. And WOW, with as much objectivity as I can put, she is 44 of the 50.. I was getting mind fvcked and didn't even realize it.
Lesson Learned and Goal of this Post: Analyze them early. Learn the different psychological disorders. They are all going to have traits from different ones, that's a given. But I didn't ever expect that she was this bad of a narcissist. I totally missed this one. Should have caught this 1-2 months into the relationship.
