Narcissists continually test their companions/mates/spouses - "If she knows my true character will she abandon me"? It would be a mistake to attribute this kind of behavior to altruistic motives. From my experience with an N, they would never say that anyone is better than them. It is probably just a trick to get supply out of you, make you feel sorry for him, because believe me, they don't think anyone is better than them. Yes, to manipulate you.

It is possible for a narcissist to say this as a manipulation tactic to make themselves appear more humble or garner sympathy. However, their actions are often more telling than their words, so it's important to evaluate their behavior as well.

Is it better for a narcissist to have a narcissist partner?

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.

Real trees are better. But if you have a fake tree and you make it look real and decorate it very nice then they would be equal. If your fake tree looks fake then real ones are better.

Is it common for a narcissist to disown a child?

Unfortunately, I would say it is more common for a child to work hard to try to please the narcissistic parent, sacrificing their own dreams, development and dignity in the process. The most likely reason I can see that a narcissist would disown a child would be that the child has decided to take a stand for him/herself. If a child insists on being an independent person who will not pander to the childish needs of the narcissist, then the narcissist will fight to win them back or disown them. In this case, the narcissist will always be looking for the opportunity for the child to come crawling back and give the parent the idolization the parent "deserves." Of course, there can be many other situations, other factors, and other outcomes. You have to objectively view the factors in your situation before coming to any real conclusions. Best of luck!

Is it common that victims will want to cut ties with the narcissist's friends after leaving the relationship?

It's normal and it's the thing to do. By staying in touch with the friends of the narcissist it still links you to the narcissist. Move on and start a new future. What friends? A true narcissist has no real loyal friends. They are known as supply. Those friends who are true to you will "self select" and will make their choice when you break up. However, if they want to maintain contact with the "narcissist" then you need to set them free. It just creates chaos in your life.

What can I d now I was having affair with married man who is a narcissist his wife found out and now he has cut me out completely I am shattered?

I have recently dealt with a similar situation, I know you must be hurting very badly right now, I remember that pain. I think what you should try to do is remember all the most horrible things he ever did to you, if he is a true narcissist, there will be plenty of them. Write them down, look at them when you are missing him. Also try to remember that the narcissist never shows you his true self, you are seeing an image that he WANTS you to see. It isn't real, it is a fantasy...which is why they seem so damned perfect. It is not possible to love someone (even though it sure feels like we do) when you don't know the REAL them. Though you are feeling intense hurt right now, and you can't see it, it is truly a BLESSING that he cut you out. You should be so thankful at this moment that you AREN"T his wife, what hell that would be. That is what I try to remind myself when I miss my narcissist. Things will get better for you, don't lose hope :)


How did studying the human body help Greek artists make their statues look real?

It helped them because they could get everything anatomically correct. They would be better able to make the legs right and the arms and the face, and pretty much make the statue look real.
