When your best friend is also narcissistic...

I had a shocking moment with my closest friend, as I chronicle all of dating adventures/misadventures with her.

She kept saying she wished she could meet my N boyfriend because she wants to make him hurt, make him feel pain, break his heart the way he did to me. My response to her was "What do you mean? You said over and over again, that it isn't me, that he won't ever care about anyone" and her response was "Yeah, but I can read people really well, and I can figure out what makes him tick, and I could totally break his heart to pieces." WHAT????!!!! I was so shocked and hurt by this statement. She was essentially saying that I was flawed in my approach with him, and that he COULD be a real, feeling, sincere human being WITH THE RIGHT WOMAN. This has been such a snag in my healing process.

My friend is someone who may be narcissistic. She had her heart broken 25 years ago and has had major commitment issues ever since. She is very beautiful and charming and has made a lifestyle of manipulating and using men. For her to say something like put me back to square one. She took it back later saying something along the lines "I need to check myself. It was very bold of me to say that. I may not even be his type. I just want really bad to get him back for what he did to you"
