Red flags that a person with narcissistic traits exhibits: -They make you feel sorry for them. -They make you feel so much compassion for them, that you turn a blind eye to the things you would normally react to. -They talk badly about old boyfriends, friends, girlfriends, etc., and often completely out of proportion...that they are mentally ill, or excessively jealous. -They make you feel special as soon as you meet. They say you're special and that you have a special bond,
