Do you mean psychologist, or psychiatrist? Narcissists are scary people. We all have a little bit if we have any success at all, but a classic narcissist is capable of tremendous damage to others.

You mean like the current president and several before him?

I am not qualified to judge, just did some reading up a year ago when a friend of mine faced one during a divorce proceeding. Apparently they are great fun til they don't get what they want. Lots of soap opera characters seem to be based on narcissism.

Its difficult to treat as well.

I was married to a classic one, I was too stupid to recognize the core of what was going on before we got married.  The worst behavior always came on "someone else's day" whether it was a birthday, a graduation, someone having surgery, or even a funeral and all attention was not on her.

At least you recognized it and escaped in time. My friend got set up in numerous ways. Was even committed against their will to a psych ward. Justice eventually prevailed but the spouse is still in a position of some importance.

The physiology journal and articles I linked to discusses this. Every president or significant leader is likely to be somewhat narcissistic, but that is a far cry from being a clinical narcissist. Simply put, to get to the top you likely had to put yourself first and have the confidence to believe you are better - but some people take it a few steps further.

Why would the fire marshal cut off entry when the full capacity for the arena is 12,000? The fire marshal shouldn't care if people have to sit behind the stage.
I would have to guess that was the total number of available seats. The area behind the stage was closed off with drapery. Maximum capacity at the Mabee Center is 11,200.

Tusla? is that Tesla's distant cousin? Anyway, someone printing the tickets has a dyslexic tendency.

I'm waiting on the "I heart Tusla" Tshirts.
