Okay, we did the math and found that only one out of nine traits is abusive, and given five are required for a diagnosis, it's reasonable to assume most people with NPD don't have any symptoms that make them abusers. On the other hand, most of the traits you called abusive were just other people's feelings you don't like. So it sounds like you're just interested in being the thought police and acting like the contents of other people's heads is an attack on you. Which, you know, is a method abusers use to control their victims. Drag doesn't like you.
