Narcissism generally includes excessive self-centerednessand an overexaggerated view of one's own talents and strengths. A narcissist creates a false self that he exhibits to other people. He lives in a completely invented world. He is obsessed with his superiority and is an authority on every subject. He possesses an absurd vanity. His self worth and self-esteem are derived exclusively from audience feedback. He doesn't engage in conversation, he lectures. He takes credit for accomplishments he may have performed as part of a large group but every completed project somehow becomes a personal accomplishment and those increase a hundred fold with every telling. He exhibits extreme grandiosity not supported by personal talents or personal history. He refuses to acknowledge the achievement of others. Tell him about something good that someone else did or accomplished and note the lack of any reply or any sign he heard what you said. He cannot delay gratification.

Narcissism is a disorder where the person is unable to understand how other people think and feel - they can only understand themselves and thus believe that they are the most important people in the universe. They think others are just there like a play - to make them look or feel better. Thus, they are selfish and stuck-up and uncaring and generally not very likable people.

How can a person stop their own narcissistic behavior when it comes to a loving relationship with a man?

The first big step a person can make is to admit their fault (in this case narcissistic behavior) but, it would take a professional to determine if that person is a narcissist or there is some other reason they don't have successful relationships. It's better to not second guess the reason why a person is not functioning well and see a psychologist (studies human behavior) and get to the root of the problem.
