They are MASTERS at reinventing themselves. This just mean that they can appear to be a down on his luck homeless man in court so the judge could feel pity and lessen his sentence, or he could be a suit and tie business man at work. My ex-narcissist transformed himself to fit into any situation he wanted to use to his advantage. One thing they can't invent is empathy and genuine feelings for others.

AnswerN's actually find people to suit their 'mood' for a NS. The N I lived with had 5 other previous 'lives', the one before me (I just found out this week) was in the deviant realm of transvestites & hustling homosexuals on the waterfront in our city. This N was writing personals about in the gay sections (we found his stash of private papers by accident while clearing the rest of his stuff out of the apt) & he was responding to ads. Then he moved into my 'life' (I am a straight middleclass businesswoman). The lives he adopted previous to that were of DJ (he dated a top woman DJ & he became a famous DJ in his fantasy life - he only dj'd weddings and in some seedy clubs once or twice a week for a few years). He was part of a band (but doesn't sing or play an instrument, nor does he appear on any credits - the band only had one demo CD done = but when you talk to this person it's as if he was involved with The Rolling Stones. Another life was when he went back to school as an adult student, he bragged about banging all his female instructors to get good marks (of course eh's smart & graduated with honors).

The earliest tale of this N's story telling was for 4 continuious years in public & high school he told all the kids in school he had leukemia & needed constant treatment.

To make a long story short, these people do whatever it takes to adapt to their circumstance (chosen circumstance), they will lie, invent & create a persona that a whole new group of friends & collegues will believe. But once these people start catching onto the lies & demand answers the N will attack them (often behind their backs, ie tell someone that the police took so&so away yesterday & let the listener's imagination do the rest). they are merciless & vicious.

They are similar to the chameleon who can change his colour to suit his environment except the chameleon is an innocent creature & the Narcissist is a demon.

How do you get narcissist to leave you alone after he dumps you then comes back over and over and is this a common trait of narcissists?

The narcissist is looking for attention and whatever else you can give him. You need to show no interest, no emotion, nothing. Don't show anger or sadness or even listen to them. Don't pick up the phone. Don't answer the door if its them. Ignore them. They'll eventually go away when they realize you have nothing for them. And they'll move on to their next victim.
