Yeah, definitely dealing with a bunch of narcissists here.
If I'm given the choice between dealing with a sociopath and dealing with a narcissist, I'd take the sociopath any day of the week. Mainly because even though a narcissist may be more predictable, if you get on their bad side they will make it their personal mission in life to fuck you over as revenge. Because for a narcissist, their pride is everything, and they'll spare nothing in order to hurt the person that wounded their pride.
A sociopath, on the other hand, is the cunning calculator. They may very well decide that dealing with you is too much effort and just cut their losses. Keep in mind that sociopaths are born gamblers because they are sharp enough to know what the REAL odds and the stakes are, have a tendency for being able to read people like a book, and are not adverse to taking risks. If they know that it'll cost too much, they'll back away gracefully.
