Do you love a Toxic Narcissist?TWENTY QUESTIONS

Are you "in love" with or related to a Toxic Narcissist?

Narcissists are toxic people to those who love them. Toxicity is the degree to which a substance can damage an organism. We all hear much on the subject of addiction these days and how the addict must find a way to stay away from and ultimately free themselves from the object of their addiction. Most of us have heard that a herion addict cannot afford to dabble in small quantities of herion for relief from their withdrawal symptoms. Even one shot or a snort is enough to set them back into their addiction and wanting more. The sex addict cannot afford to watch pornography on occasion if the are trying to obtain sobriety because the visual is generally enough for their addiction to kick in and next they are out looking for a stronger fix.

Toxic people often have the same effect on people as does any other substance if they are exposed to the toxicity.
