The word disgrace means a loss of honor and respect.  The narcissist, especially in youth and middle age appears to be at the height of his/her powers. His mind is nimble, his solid gold charm is irresistible; he is climbing the heady tiers of power determined to reach the top. The high level narcissist is overly confident, extremely self entitled and controls others effortlessly. With his grandiose false self in high gear, the narcissist is reaping the rewards of his cunning, conscienceless plots. He has initiated the demise of business partners, spouses, former friends---all of those who have become his enemies. One is put on the narcissist's enemy list by crossing him, slighting him or bettering him.   

The aging narcissist has burned so many human bridges. He/she has betrayed, double-crossed, abused, demeaned, humiliated and attempted to psychologically annihilate the lives of countless human beings. Some narcissists even destroy their children as a result of repetitive abandonments, grinding criticisms and malicious agendas. Unmoved and psychologically brittle, the narcissist is incapable of change.To change he would have to rip off his elaborate mask. It is too late. Beneath the facade, nothing that is real can be retrieved to make the narcissist a genuine human being. "The fateful accumulation of ill will has tipped; the act is worn and tawdry---old age has come to call. (The narcissist's) despair deepens to meet death."  To become a master of the psychodynamics of the narcissistic personality, visit my website: www.thenarcissistinyourlife.com
