If it helps, people with autism tend to see straight through people with narcissistic personality disorder. People with NPD tend to try and isolate and ostracize autistic people as soon as they recognize them, because autistic people miss or disregard basically all of their attempts at manipulation. And if a person can’t be manipulated, a narcissist will see them as a threat to be excised.

People with autism will usually be baffled at why everyone likes the narcissist, because the narcissist comes off exactly as you described. Manipulative, petty, vindictive, immature, etc… And for some reason, the entire group just seems to go along with what the narcissist wants.

But from what you're saying, not a shred of evidence either. I mean srsly, sometimes we're just wrong about things, and everybody else feeling differently can be a clue. Not saying you're wrong, because I don't pretend to have psychic powers, just that it's healthy to question our own process sometimes.

I'm a DA outreach worker i say 100% trust your gut instinct it's telling you something. DA perps are manipulative and so tend to be well liked IME. Just fyi there's a list of DA warning signs here. Every tip for narcissism is someone that does more than their fair share of the talking, always brings things back to them.

That's just every popular person. No shit, how else would you achieve that.
