It really bothers them. They feel 'forgotten' and for a narcissist to be forgotten is to be insignificant. I was working with a fairly famous musician for a time who was a HUGE narcissist. I finally gave up on his rude behaviour and ignored him. Two weeks later, he's contacting and sucking up to me, despite that he has thousands of fans.

But when they do re-contact you, it's only so they can test you. They're trying to get a reaction out of you to feed their ego. Just keep ignoring them. Silence, and indifference is the best kind of revenge.

If you think about a narcissist they only care for their own needs. They will not be thinking about you at all, but their next supply. And this is their focus they know you are a problem/figured them out. They don't have feeling for you. They are unable to be intimate They will always make themselves look good. but the truth is when their done, their done! Get educated! You have learned much more about finding a solid relationship. They will never have one. Life is short. Keep moving. I have three kids all 12 and under saw the behavior before I did. SCARY! My daughter's advice -- don't even think about it mom!

No, they think about themselves more. When you are dealing with the personality disordered, you are not dealing with someone who thinks or feels the way you or I (providing you are not a narcissist) feel about things. They can put on a great act of caring, but the brutal truth is they do not care about how their actions affect others. The only interest they have is how they are affected. If you put your feet on a coffee table, do you care how the coffee table feels? This is their view of the world...others are playthings here for their enjoyment and pleasure, and once you are no longer useful, you become expendable. They may come back, professing how much they miss or care about you, but they don't care about YOU, they care about what you can supply for THEM. As long as you feed the vampire, it will drain as much as it can get before moving on. They do not miss you, they miss supply. Anytime you are dealing with these people, always keep it in the back of your mind and ask yourself "What is s/he going to get from this?" because that is all that matters to them. If you left them, then it is likely if they think about you at all, it is in the terms that you are to blame, you have hurt them and taken away their supply.

How does narcissism affect an individual?

depending on if your the narcissist or just someone around the narcissist..... if you are the narcissist dont worry it wont effect you. You will just continue on with your selfish ways and use people for what they can do for you. If your someone around the narcissist..... RUN- get out while you can. The only way to really survive is to not have them in your life


What do you do if you have reached an impassse with your narcissistic spouse and they are prolonging the silent treatment toward you?

Go to counseling. Rejoice! And again I say, rejoice! There is no silence more golden than a narcissist's. To not have to hear that annoying voice! It is truly heaven. Let me tell you how things work with a narcissist. They come from opposite land in Bizarro universe. The only way to get a narcissist to be nice to you is to (paradoxically) treat them terribly by ignoring them entirely. If the narcissist is ignoring you, you must have done something awfully decent and nice to deserve this. Do you see the impossibility of ever successfully dealing with and having a relationship with such a person? I would say, take immediate advantage of the impasse and the resulting silence by leaving the narcissist. No matter what you do, never pay any attention to the narcissist again, and don't talk or call or write unless forced by law to do so. The narcissist will always think of you, in the Bizarro universe way, as a wonderful person and will crave your attention, which you will never give. Thus exacting justice on the narcissist while taking back your life. Too bad you have to be mean to show a narcissist how wonderful you are, but you didn't start this thing. You should be the one to end it, though.

Should you ignore your narcissist when he is abusive?

Yes, you should ignore him or anybody who is abusive. The truth is: nobody is perfect and sometimes we need people to teach us a lesson. Ignoring him is the best thing you could do for him and for YOU. If he really loves you, he will eventually realize he made a mistake but this would only happen if you ignore him long enough, and this means, ignoring his first attempts to contact you, it is hard but at the end it is worth it. Good luck =)

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. 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.
