So they can brainwash you better. If you have no reality checks, and no other form of emotional support, you become dependent on them - and that gives them the power and control they crave in a primary relationship. It's like being in a cult - except there are only 2 people. You give up your reality to support their grandiose fantasy world.

The answer is harsh but simple. That person no longer needs you in their life. It has nothing to do with you as a person, it's just how narcissists work. If they are done with you and you have nothing to offer them or they find better supply, they will discard you and take what they've found. Don't worry, that person will be discarded as well, it's a never ending cycle.

Can the narcissist ever become himself and he is a narcissist and so is his mother he seems to look to her for acceptance can he change if she accepts him?

I don't think so. How can change occur in narcissist whose mother is a narcissist as well, even if she accepts him? The very sickness comes from that lack of emotional support given by the mother at the most crucial time, birth. My mother in law has damaged my husband so much that because he is a product of his environment, he had dished out his madness upon me and his children. Sadly, I am the one who had the mental breakdown and has suffered so much. Is there really help for a narcissist?

Narcissist in love with a narcissist?

It's certainly possible. A narcissist may date another narcissist that is more selfish than they are to feel better about themselves.

It takes a lot of research to understand a narcissist.

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.

How do you help a narcissist?

The question is help them how? Refer them to counseling, but they don't want to be fixed, though you may want to fix them to be a 'normal' person so you can keep a relationship with them. If you are a lay person and in a relationship with a narcissist, you cannot help them. Just by the nature of your relationship and the pathology of a narcissist, things will get ugly, it will be at your expense and there will be no change in the narcissist. A good therapist will be the one to help a narcissist, but it takes a great deal of work on the part of the narcissist, a commitment to healing, only they don't see themselves as 'broken' or anything wrong with them, so an honest introspective communication with a therapist is rare. It's so hard to understand. Leaving them is best for you though and isn't that sad that that is also the way to help a narcissist, because they are sucking your goodness from you and using it to buoy themselves. So sad.

What should you do when a narcissist convinces others of a false impression of you?

The best thing to do is to continue to be who and what you are. If the person is truly a narcissist, this is or will become clear to everyone else. The worst things you can do are to act defensively, or try to damage the reputation of the person.
