Can narcissism produce fulfillment

Answer 1

No, because they pursue the illusions they create in their twisted minds.

The fantasy is created not in pursuit of happiness. It is created as the main part of the process of self denial. Just as the constant lies and the narcissist rages are also part of the self denial compulsion.

We all do things to protect us from our phobias and fears. One may sleep with the lights on if we are afraid of the dark. Is this happiness?

Happiness is not a feeling of safety. It is also more then a sense of achievement. It is a function of self awareness. This is something beyond a Narcissist.

If we are the leading role in a play and we achieve high regard for our performance, this is wonderful feeling. But it is not happiness. We would not trade such a moment for the feeling one has in the arms of a true love or at the wedding of ones daughter or the birth of a child.

Maintaining a fake self image, has absolutely nothing to do with happiness and never will. Happiness will only land at ones feet when in ones own shoes.
