Sorry I meant to reply to both of you :)
Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a real thing and you're 100% right, there is no helping these people. They are just trapped in a cloud of misery and the only way out is to extricate yourself. They will bring you down to their level every time. All they know is conflict, and they thrive on it!
I first learned about it with extreme gaslighting from one of my managers. I resigned over his BS. And many others quit or were let go. It was 100% this manager who was gaslighting and fricking with us. We all shared stories about the insane mental gymnastics he'd pull. It was frankly a little disturbing how weird he got with it.
Knowing this manager definitely lead me down a research hole, and I got better at identifying subtle toxic behaviors in people.
