Are narcissistic people aware of their wrong doing?
The narcissist knows to tell right from wrong. He is perfectly capable of anticipating the results of his actions and their influence on his human environment. The narcissist is very perceptive and sensitive to the subtlest nuances. He has to be: the very integrity of his personality depends upon input from others.
But the narcissist does not care. Unable to empathise, he does not fully experience the outcomes of his deeds and decision. For him, humans are dispensable, rechargeable, reusable. They are there to fulfil a function: to supply him with Narcissistic Supply (adoration, admiration, approval, affirmation, etc.) They do not have an existence apart from the carrying out of their duty.
True: it is the disposition of the narcissist to treat humans in the inhuman way that he does. However, this propensity is absolutely controllable. The narcissist has a choice � he just doesn't think anyone is worth making it.
It is a fact that the narcissist can behave completely differently (under identical circumstances) � depending who is involved. He not likely to be enraged by the behaviour of an important person (=with a potential to supply him narcissistically). But, he might become absolutely violent with his nearest and dearest under the same circumstances. This is because they are captives, they do not have to be won over, the Narcissistic Supply coming from them is taken for granted.
Being a narcissist does not exempt the patient from being a human being. A person suffering from NPD must be subjected to the same moral treatment and judgment as the rest of us, less privileged ones. The courts do not recognise NPD as a mitigating circumstance � why should we? Treating the narcissist specially will only exacerbate the condition by supporting the grandiose, fantastic image the narcissist has of himself.
By all means: be angry, be upset (for good and just reasons) � and don't hesitate to communicate your displeasure. The narcissist needs guidance (he is disoriented) and this is one of the best ways of providing him with one.
Based on my book "Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited"
When they are your friends, notice how they let you in on their rationalizations. "That person got my birthday wrong by a day. That was rude. For their birthday, we should all pretend like we forgot it and ignore them and let them see how it feels."
The person was a day late, because they had a family emergency. But, narcissist DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES.
Everything is all about them them them, and them getting their revenge.

Can a narcissistic person aware of his condition satisfy his need for a narcissistic supply by doing acts of kindness?
Answer .
I would suppose so since he would be doing work that would make everyone recognize him as such a wonderful and kind man. Thus, his ego would be boosted once he re…alizes that all the people KNOW how wonderful he is, just like he knows. Try and find out. ^_^
Is a narcissist aware of what he is doing if he makes comments such as 'you are not going to be able to handle this' and ' I must be very careful'?
\n.
\nMy N's favorite line was..."you don't understand". Which made me try even harder to work HIS problems out. Of course he said that....his thinking is..."I am so uniqu…e and my problems are so unearthly and intricate that NO ONE will ever be able to figure them out, but you can keep trying to help me out because it makes me feel so superior that I have all these problems and no one can help me. I must have been personally selected by the hand of fate to live this life because I am such a UNIQUE person - and aren't I just the best martyr you have ever experienced? So let me continue to control your emotions and suck the energy and brainwaves out of you to keep me on my high bier of supremacy. That way I can continue to function in my delusion that I am omnipotent."\n.
\nSad isn't it. That our best efforts were wasted on such a limited personality. However, one must think positively about some negative experiences in life...it made us stronger, more aware people with much stronger humane incentives to never use or mentally abuse ANYONE, and that life is meant to be happy! Plus, it has made me understand what a really good relationship should be between and man and a woman. \nGod Bless, mbme \n.
\n Answer \n.
\nOf course this person is aware. They are trying to control you! They want you to need them and believe that you aren't capable of being independent or know one great fact ... the world actually does go around without the Narcissist! If you don't leave you'll accomplish very little in your life because the Narcissist will always hold you back or make you doubt yourself.
Can a narcissist be aware of his condition?
Yes -- and he won't care.
Does a narcissist know what they are doing to their spouse?
No.. because they are always right. Absolutely- they know when to turn up the heat and when to pull back- its all about control and they will do whatever they have to do to g…et it and then hold on to it ................. New answer. A narcissist does not care. They have no sense of remorse, for every thing bad they do, it is only a reason to blame you for it. And no matter how good , loyal, hard working you are. They will cheat , leave you in a blink of an eye. Unless you are constantly , doing what they want. My wife is a narcissist, I worked same job for 12 years , 6 days a week , 60 hours. We would always fight, and I would always say , I'm sorry. Even when I thought I was right, just to end the argument. If you are with a narcissist , get out now!. I am sucked in , I feel I have to take care of my wife. As soon as I start to let go of her, she tells me how bad I made her life, how she wants to kill herself. When I am doing for her , she will act as if she is happy. A narcissist has the shortest memory in the world. They will remember every mistake you ever made, but will not remember what ever it was you did good for them. Every doubt you have in your mind , believe me is probably true. I have busted my wife in lie after lie. Still I chase this woman. Don't become pathetic ... Run
Is a narcissist aware of their behavior?
A true narcissist is the center of their own universe. If what you are asking, does a narcissist see that they are being self centered and selfish, the answer is NO. To a narc…issist, they are right and the rest of the world is wrong. If they say the sky is red, it is red. A narcissist will even view their needs as the needs of other people. Narcissism is a personality disorder, and therefore is not cureable. So, if you meet a narcissist I would recommend turning and running. Lastly, if you are married to a narcissist and working for a narcissist, my sincere condolences. That is what happened to me. I lost my family, and my career all in one fell swoop when the big midlife crisis hit since we worked all together.
What is wrong with narcissists?
They think looks are more important than anything else.
Is it possible for a narcissist to realize his wrong doings and choose to be alone to stop hurting other people?
\nFirst met me say I bet. like many other things, there are varying degrees of narcissim.\n.
\nI think I know someone who attempts this very approach. He is a conflicted pers…on and manages this approach with some success Yet I have been hurt very deeply by him and here is why.\n.
\nFrom the beginning a part of him always reached out to me for contact. At the same time, from early on, he also told me he hated people and preferred his own company. I always got the sense that there was a good guy being kept down by the bad guy. That good guy kept asking for contact, the kind of thing we all need as humans. The bad guy, who definitely had narci traits,kept claiming he was a loner, preferred his own company etc. \n.
\nI am not a therapist, and most of all my experiences have been with well adjusted people. Yet, I was taught to minister to the sick and he came across as someone asking for help. \nAnd, of course, as I have learned from reading about narcis, he had many entertaining qualities and we shared some sort of connection. Though I have never known anyone like this, I kept enough distance that I did not get my life entangled with his. \n.
\nYet I did get very emotionally involved by responding to the good guy ( who often felt like a scared little boy) Eventually, he lied to me about something that involved my personal safety and when I confronted him with the lie, he turned it on me. I decided I would only talk with him together with someone trained to help people. He may or may not decide to do so, and I have not heard from him since.\n.
\nSo, to answer the question, I'd say this " solution" is something that would cross a conflicted narcissist's mind, someone with a conscience. And yeah, a narci with conscience is a bit of an oxymoron but things are not always black and white. \n.
\nBut, would this solution be viable ? In reality,I doubt it. It is very difficult to be alone. We humans naturally crave some contact. It gives our lives dimension.\n.
\nI believe, that like so many other problems in life... full disclosure, getting the problem out in the open, and working on the problem at hand is the only hope for solution. This really should be done with someone who is experienced with this type of work.
What does it mean being A self-aware narcissist?
it could mean that they are aware of the harm they are causing and are actively using and abusing the power of manipulation they have. It seems to be a natural occurance in th…ese personality types and they can do it so well that it few can spot the good ones. It could also point to a narcissist who publicises the fact and pretends to want to help expose others as in case of Sam Vaknin who has websites online and seems to cause more stress and pain by proposing to help educate others to the true nature of narcissism.
Are narcissistic people born narcissistic?
No. It develops in children who's parents give them too much attention unnecessarily, and treat them like they are God's gift to the world. Commonly the parents are narcissist…ic too. It is not genetic and can be prevented if one of the child's parents are not narcissistic and give them a somewhat normal childhood. Contrary to the above answer, scientists have conducted research that shows the narcissists brains are different. Shown images that would cause shock,horror and distaste to most humans, Narcissists have no reaction to these horrific images, in fact the frontal lobe is where we process emotional content and moral conscious decisions. This part of the brain is non operational in a narcissist,and can be genetic. Which can account for the narcissist coming from a well balanced,honest, and kind upbringing. Also a genetic narcissist can be born into a deviate family which creates the possibilities for a true monster.
Why do you fire people for doing nothing wrong?

What dos a narcissist do when he ends the relationship?
They leave without feeling anything. most likely they already have an auxiliary supply ready to tap in to (the next sucker). People are objects to a narcissist, so to them it …is like buying a new cell phone and throwing the old one in a junk drawer and forgetting about it.
Does a narcissist know there is something wrong with them?
Yes, and no. They know that there is something not quite right with them, but they can't help it because of their disorder. Their false self, ego, doesn't let them see that th…ey have flaws because that makes them vulnerable. They realize that they hurt people and that eventually people won't want to be around them, but they don't care because they will just find someone else to meet their many needs if that person won't comply. They feel that people should not be graced with his/her almighty presence and they are not worth their time.

Why you hate to see the wrong thing doing by people and is that right to you?
Realy i hate to see people doing wicked things. yes it is true that we are all imperfect by birth and it is easy for us to do bad things. but God has given us conscious whic…h tell us what is good and bad. Moreover God hates those who keep doing bad things without repenting. God has promised to wipe out these kind of people from the very face of the earth very soon. Psalms 37: 9-11 says "For evildoers themselves will be cut off, But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth. And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace." for more info contact any of the jehovah's witnesses in your locality
