What are some of the realizations that have come to those who have survived a relationship with a narcissist?
I realized that there was nothing I could have done differently to make our relationship work. I realized that he was most of the problem with our relationship and stopped blaming myself for the failure. I realized that there were many people out there with the same problem that we had and it was comforting to read their stories on the net.I now realize how unheathy our relationship was, but at the time no one could convince me of that because I thought I loved him so deeply.I realized that I had become co-dependant with him and have since been correcting that and am returning to my "old" self and have become confident in "me" again. I realized that I had given all of myself to him and he did not return anything which became a vicious cycle.I realize now that I will never compromise any of my true values just to keep a relationship intact. I realize that if something just does not feel "right" that it usually is not and I should watch for those "red flags" because they are usually correct. It was the most difficult thing I have ever had to go through with the dissolution of this relationship. I had never been that low in my entire life, but I now can say that life does go on and I have a wonderful "healthy" realtionship with a very loving man. Ladies, be true to yourselves and you will eventually find a good person to love. They do exist.Heal yourselves first and then you will find them. Dee I can never get resolution in the way I want because I will never be able reach him. Empathy is needed for resolution, therefore the most he could ever give is an act for his own selfish purposes, if he saw any reason to that is.

Is it common that victims will want to cut ties with the narcissist's friends after leaving the relationship?
It's normal and it's the thing to do. By staying in touch with the friends of the narcissist it still links you to the narcissist. Move on and start a new future. What friends? A true narcissist has no real loyal friends. They are known as supply. Those friends who are true to you will "self select" and will make their choice when you break up. However, if they want to maintain contact with the "narcissist" then you need to set them free. It just creates chaos in your life.
Should you explain narcissism to those who would question your past relationship to such a person?
If you have moved on from your past relationship from a narcissist it is no one else's business and there is no need to explain to anyone. If asked tell them to go onto the Internet and learn about it. What you went through in the past is painful and in order to move on all you need to do is be sure you have gotten good counseling and move on. There is life after living with a narcissist!

Do narcissists or people with PDs try to rekindle relationships even if they've been dumped?
A "true" narcissist will always, without fail, attempt to hang onto any relationship in which the narcissist gains "narcissistic supply." A "true" narcissist will not be deterred! They will do what it takes, say what it takes and follow-up with whatever actions are necessary to hang onto narcissistic supply. They will attempt to rekindle the broken relationship because they do not accept the fact that the relationship is over. If you respond in any manner...ie...phone calls, text messages, letters...etc...the narcissist accepts this as proof that he still holds some interest in your life. He will remain relentless in his attempt to gain any attention whatsoever from his supply...ie...you! You may find it flattering that someone seems so attached to you that they will do anything to keep you around, but just know that you are not a human being in the sense that we are human beings. People, to the "true" narcissist", are simply objects in which to gain the attention they so desperately crave. If you can accept that fact (and it is a fact) feel free to continue a relationship with a narcissist. However, if you ever wish to have a meaningful and intimate relationship, you should search out and find a healthy human being. The narcissist will always be a narcissist and there is nothing in the world that will change that fact. Nothing! It is unfortunate because, generally speaking, narcissists are talented, charming and successful people. They simply do not possess empathy or compassion for any human on the planet. Those emotions are not present in the narcissist nor will they ever become present. The part of the psychological make up found in normal-healthy minds is absolutely missing in the narcissist. EXAMPLE: If a person were born without legs, that person could have artificial legs attached. However, the artificial legs will never "grow" naturally. A person born without empathy or the capacity to love does have the ability to observe the behaviors of others who feel empathy and love. The narcissist can learn to mimick the behaviors of empathy and love. The narcissist will never have the ability to "grow" feelings of empathy or love. That simple!
Will a narcissist destroy those who back them in corner over their lies?
They sure will TRY! Two words: NO CONTACT!
What traits would disprove that someone has narcissistic personality disorder?
It's difficult to prove a negative. If a narcissist finds out some of those characteristics, all he has to do is be a good actor. Not being a narcissist is the only quality one could have to prove one is not a narcissist. There is no act a person can perform or one thing a person can do that would prove once and for all that the person is not and never has been and never will be a narcissist. Yet all the same, if you are not a narcissist, other people will recognize this fact, just as if you are, that too will come to light. Empathy. Narcissist's do not posess it nor do they understand it.
