Quora: Is a narcissist the devil and their victims are those who were “tempted”?

No. Narcissists are human beings with a disease of the mind or disorder of the brain. They are defective. They are not supernatural, they have no great powers, they are simple predators. Don’t give them more power or room in your head by thinking of them in terms of being powerful supernatural creatures. They are just very sad, very damaged people.
