http://truthlover5.com/2012/12/07/profile-of-a-sociopath-charming-manipulative-grandiose-lying-narcissitic-authoritarian-secretive/

A narcissistic sociopath is unable to tolerate criticism and needs constant praise, as well as deference from other people. Many with this condition present themselves in the best light possible and are able to easily charm others to gain their trust

THE MALIGNANT PERSONALITY

They are remorselessly vindictive when thwarted or exposed

Not concerned about wrecking others’ lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.

• Smear Campaign:  A Sociopath will always be smearing someone and inciting people against each other.  Sociopaths do not want people to like or get along with each other and will try to “divide and conquer.”  They will say odd things to people in the social group

From "I don't follow trends," to "I have nothing to wear," the 

10 lies ALL fashion girls tell

6 Toxic Behaviors Treating yourself like a victim,Cruelty -- lacking in empathy,Needing constant validation

Then this comment below the link from Sheila Mirsky Stalder Each of these behaviors adds up to a person with classic narcissistic personality disorder. Not curable since those with NPD would never admit they have a problem and/or seek help to change. These people are toxic and the only way to avoid being completely depleted by them is to avoid them completely.

Have we not all had enough of people who think we are not wise to their games

Oh darling arn't you talented,then behind your back

"Oh even my nearest and dearest are dreadfully not cultured"

How do people look people in the eyes after such nasty words

Your local eatery "It's totes amaze"

Behind closed doors "it's dreadful darling"

Oh come on.... enough is enough 

Because you are 

In every way!

Saying "totes amaze"

Darling is okay when you are ten

But mid-life crisis dear
