I was looking on the Quora page in relation to narcissists and they said being around people with these traits can lead to developing a hyper immune disease. I have psoriasis and it got worse the more time I spend with my narcissistic mother.

To be honest sometimes I think it would be easier for people with P to date other people with P. Some people without P will never understand and it’s just so much harder to date when you have P. 23 and never been in the dating game
