Mr Ubiquitous.

Soon after finding the DSM IV category for narcissism, I discovered Sam's home page. If you wander the internet in search of Narcissism you will find Sam Vaknin's sites and writings. He is a self confessed NPD who has realized the narcissistic nature of the world wide web. His sites opened my eyes - as an intellectual narcissist he sings a siren song that attracts many.

He is a self confessed NPD, who is making himself into the world's expert on Narcissism with his many talks, interviews and postings. We exchanged on line letters that you can find in the side bar menu. He has taught me a lot about narcissism and - though I may not always agree with what he says or writes - he is a good resource on Narcissism. He says he has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, therefore be advised and warned.
