Narcissists love their sources of narcissistic supply the way you may love your computer or some other useful gadget. They care for their sources of narcissistic supply the way you take care of your car and maintain it.
If you look up the meaning of a narcissist this is what it says: excessive and erratic interest in oneself. Be careful using this label on a person though, because some people are shy, or they have lived in an environment of control and they want their own control, etc.If this person really is narcissistic, I do believe they care about others, but they always need to be in control and they have great inner strength. You've got a tiger by the tail!
If you do not like this quality in a person it's best to move on. Generally people with this attitude are extremely bright, and in many cases they are loners. They can also become bored very easily.
That might be true (regarding previous posting), but when a persons behavior affects another person then there is a problem. We are talking about narcissist, self-centered users. These people are manipulating liars, verbal abusers, sometimes physical abusers, some are sociopaths. Yes shyness might lure a victim in but their ultimate goal is to selfishly use this person for their supply. To answer the question, yes a narcissist can have no feelings for their long-term partner. They are only interested in themself.
Projection:Thoughts of infidelity to a partner may be unconsciously projected in self-defence on to the partner in question, so that the guilt attached to the thoughts can be repudiated or turned to blame instead, in a process linked to denial.[13]Projection of a severe conscience[14] is another form of defence, one which may be linked to the making of false accusations, personal or political.[15] Alternatively, a bully may project his/her own feelings of vulnerability onto their victim,[16] or a patient their feelings of hope on to the therapist.[17]
I thought I answered this before but I don't think it posted. You can't sue a narcissist unless the lies caused you to lose money or property and you can prove it. Exceptions would be suits involving divorce or custody. Its nearly impossible to sue for mental anguish anymore. ~ T Hi, If physical abuse was involved in your relationship, then you can report him to the appropriate authorities or Police. But apart from that, I'm not sure what else you can do. Hopefully someone else may be able to help you a lot more than I can. Good luck. It is often quite impossible to prove what happened and what a partner said in the privacy of your own home.
Women are much more in tune with nature and the earth. They feel many more feelings and emotions. It is a gift they have for being able to bear children. We menstrate around the cycles of the moon and we have powerful abilities to perceive others feelings. I think it is obvious the women feel and express a lot more of their feelings. I don't think that this is a bad thing. When ladies are pregnant or menstrating, the hormones can get out of balance because of the complex changes that are going on inside her body. This inevitably affects her mind also. Men can really help ladies out by being there as her emotional support and being understanding of her emotions. Women sometimes have a difficult time with all of the changes going on in their bodies and it's important that they have a partner or a friend that is there for them to rely on.
A sense of closeness, feelings of being listened to, feeling that the other person finds her sexual and desirable, is a hot spot. This hot spot is developed by identifying, negotiating and removing barriers of uncomfortable self worth, and a blind trust in ones partner. When she closes her eyes, she feels you inside of her without ever having met you, it makes for the first encounter to be explosive.
Usually people feel like cheating on their significant other because they feel there is something lacking in their relationship. This may be that he doesn't give you as much attention anymore, that he doesn't treat you the same way or even that you have lost your sexual attraction to him. Whatever the reason, you should talk to your partner about whatever it is you feel is missing from your relationship. Cheating is never a good idea, it just causes feelings of betrayal and hurt in the one being cheated on, and feelings of guilt in the one cheating. Always end one relationship before starting another, or everyone involved is getting cheated out of something special.
He might, but it wouldn't be because of his narcisism. The true narcissist cares about his partner's feelings only to the extent that they reflect on him. The old joke is apt. "But enough about me. Let's talk about you. What do you think of me?"
Yes, sometimes a narcissist will contact their ex after a break up because the narcissist cannot imagine their ex with anyone else as the narcissist has a complex of being the greatest at everything including relationships and is ego maniacal.
To make the partner feel worthless
Absolutely nothing different from a partner who is circumcised.
No, absolutely not.
No. A narcissist cannot change. Narcissism is an untreatable personality disorder. It is unrealistic to believe a narcissist can change any behavior. In the world of the narcissist, he or she is center, remorseless, and sees no reason to change. He may manipulate his chosen one into believing he will change as manipulation and omnipotence are core to his insatiable need to control and keep his partner. Losing is not an option for the narcissist. Because of his inability to feel remorse, the narcissist acts out normal responses based purely on observation of others. He may say he will stop drinking to keep the relationship of abuse and chaos intact. Indeed, he cannot perceive a reason not to do exactly as he chooses to do. The narcissist lacks the ability to be accountable to any person or promise. He has no sense of remorse, no need or feelings for others exept to objectify
There are technical differences, but it is largely a matter of degree. Neither is likely to ever be a decent partner.
I suppose. Absolutely
It is what they do. Why do flies fly? That is what you would expect them to do. They are very self centered. That is why you don't get involved with people like that.
as in "throw pies at her"? It's not the favoured method of humiliating people in real life but I suppose it could happen.
Your husband might have meant that he didn't actually like his affair partner and he had strong feelings about hating her. Just cross your fingers!
I had confidence in my partner, who was absolutely scrupulous in his business dealings.
