They need someone who is as focused on them as they are on themselves. So they'd be better off with someone with really low self esteem, or just someone who is a real giver, and wouldn't mind never getting anything in return.
yes, narcissistic people feel that themselves are the center of everthing, but at the end of the day.. everyone needs someone!
To make the partner feel worthless
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?"
Being completely self centered, they would probably go for whichever person is better, or cheat on them both.
It's certainly possible. A narcissist may date another narcissist that is more selfish than they are to feel better about themselves. In turn say "i'm not as selfish as he/she is so that makes me above him/her). It's incredible and shocking the way people with this disorder think. It takes a lot of research to understand a narcissist.
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.
There are technical differences, but it is largely a matter of degree. Neither is likely to ever be a decent partner.
A narcissist cannot show appreciation. A narcissist is a person who looks at themselves as higher than others, or believing they can do any task better than others, so for a narcissist to show appreciation would be very odd.
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.
because narcissist are jerks plain and simple.
# Get counseling for yourself. # Do NOT Tell him you suspect he's a destructive narcissist! # Learn all you can about this incurable personality disorder # Think about leaving him and things will NOT get better.
Ignore while planning your escape. A narcissist will destroy you in every way imaginable. Run as fast as you can from this person. It will never get better, only worse as time goes by.
