Can you tell if someone is a narcissist when you meet them for the first time?

Answer 1

• Pay attention to how they treat "unimportant" people, like waiters, who they are not likely to see again. They will treat them dismissively, will act superior, may complain excessively. They will not jump in to help movers. You will hear many subtle judgments and comments about other people or himself. These comments will make him appear special or better than others. He does not accept no for an answer. He will have to modify it somehow.

• Asking a narcissist to describe themselves is like letting a fox into a hen house. Narcissists are great chameleons so it's not likely you are going to get an honest answer. Here are some signs: They talk about themselves most of the evening. They embellish on the great things they have done. They never stop to ask about your life. The may order your dinner without asking you what you want or tell you what movie you are both going to see without discussing what you may like to see. They basically "order" you around. If this is happening even a little put your foot down and tell them you can order for yourself and if you get a negative reaction from them then more or than likely they have some narcissistic traits.

• Narcissism is characterized by self love, selfishness and egotism. There are lots of men and woman that fall into that category these days and it goes even further and younger, too. People in general are concerned about their appearances and rightly so because of the society we live in today that is so judgmental on looks. Now when you meet someone for the first time that appears well dressed are they a narcissist. No, not usually. Try to notice if the person takes every chance they can get into looking at themselves, in windows, mirrors, anything even spoons that can give a reflections. They are constantly preening themselves. They want to only talk about themselves and their interests. They dismiss you and your feelings in a condiscending way, they want to do things that will either preserve there looks, and outfits and nothing that they have the possibility of losing at or looking bad in. These pointers need to be constant, every day and every minute of their lives. Run fast because you'll never exist with a narcissist.

• Not always because narcissist have a plan in their minds that they dont share with anyone. They can be conceited and totally in love with themselves and find no room in their minds or hearts for anyone else's well being.
