What if your friend is a therapist and you noticed narcissistic traits in her what do i do?
Leave it alone. You aren't a therapist. Everyone has something; we all could benefit from therapy. You can gently try and point out that not everything is about her - but I was married to someone like this. Believe me, he didn't get it and neither will she. If you want to maintain the friendship everytime she starts up - just steer it another direction. Maybe that will get it across. Good luck!
