I consider it a gift, seeing someone for WHAT they really are. I can't really use the word WHO, because everything they portrait themselves to be isn't real at all. Other than being an empty unfeeling bag of flesh and bones, a pretty heavy one at that, they're not "human" like the rest of us.

The Narcissist as a "Criminal"
The narcissist is a victimizer.
People associate the term “narcissist” with an individual who holds a grandiose opinion of himself, has an insatiable need for admiration, and blames others rather than acknowledge personal shortcomings.
People with a narcissistic personality disorder are “criminals” even if they do not ever get arrested. Their “sense of entitlement,” “unreasonable expectations” and “lack of sensitivity to the rules of others” result in injury to others. They manipulate and exploit people in their unceasing efforts to build themselves up. Their “contemptuous” and “impatient” behavior has a negative impact on others. The people who suffer the most are those closest to them. Spouses, children, and work colleagues are ground down daily. In order to peacefully coexist, they must try to satisfy the narcissist's insatiable psychological needs. A person who does not meet the expectations of the narcissist likely will have a very unpleasant encounter. Anyone may become a victim — a waiter, a sales lady, a receptionist — and bear the brunt of his disdain, condescension, and contempt.
A psychologist described his narcissistic client in the following manner: “This is a man who is used to doing what he wants regardless of someone else’s opinion or the impact of his behavior on others. He acknowledges he goes for the jugular. He needs to be in control of all situations and will often do what he wants in blatant disregard of rules, others’ perceptions, or the impact of his behavior on others. He challenges, threatens, or cajoles to achieve his ends.”
Never underestimate the damage that such a person can do. A narcissist is a criminal who leaves a trail of injury behind.
