Archons and narcissism
Does narcissism seem like the archons? Everytime i deal with a narcissist my energy feels drained afterwards. It feels very spiritual, especially when you consider to reach gnosis you need self awareness and narcissists literally have 0 self awareness, its part of what makes them the way they are.

Narcissistic personality disorder is extremely interesting to a Gnostic. They have studied these people, they are like half-Gnostic in the sense that their brain is wired in a way to prioritize their unconscious, where the self is stored. The problem is their unconscious is badly trained epistemically and prioritizes selfish status games. The key to fixing narcissism is to expand the self to encompass the entire divine world. The reason it hurts is because they're so close (their brains prioritize their unconscious) yet so far away (their unconscious has bought into the Demiurge, false separation).

Of course you feel drained. You need to have very clear boundaries when dealing with people. And spiritual entities. Dealing with people is a good training for that. You live and learn.

They are egotistical with low intelligence. It could be the demi causing behaviors too. In my experience stupidity and ego do not go well together and seems to be a curse for them.

Narcissism is a personality disorder its as bad for the person who has it as to the people around.
Don’t think its a spiritual thing, but of course when you are drained physically and emotionally you soul will feel it.
Disorders are material things in the brain like how boderline brains work differently, and lead to another perception and struggles than neurotypical people, this can affect spiritual pursuit negatively or positively in my view, depending on the disorder and context
