I don't know if medically they considered insecure..Narcissists are by nature very selfish and self centered.. They are intimidated by people who have stronger personalities than them.. They have to feel always in control and definitely do not like being told what to do.. They are not team players so to speak.. Some of the notorious narcissist personalities are also the smartest because they think things very methodically. They are not risk takers because they tend to want to be sure about the outcome which usually has to do with the fact that they and they alone will get the most satisfaction from. Run really fast and don't look back... Yes, to a degree, but it comes much later in their lives. Narcissists remind me of the story of "Dorian Gray" (a great character study of an evil, egotistical lout who hurts everyone around him. He was so into himself he had a large painting done of himself. As he continued to treat those around him miserably and without conscience the portrait would change until it became extremely ugly. He had to put the portrait up in the attic, but couldn't resist going up to see the changes. Eventually he became so terrified he tried to start rectifying the cruel behavior in the past, but thus, it was too late. Just before he decided to change he was involved with a lovely young woman and he didn't realize how much he loved her. When he decided to change he went straight to see the love of his life and tell her how much he loved her, but she'd commited suicide. This in itself destroyed him.) Narcissists will end up burning all their own bridges. Most will live a very lonely life or, if they choose a woman to be with there will be no love or support. Not a nice way to live and certainly not a good way to leave your mark on this earth.

Insecurity and narcissism?

To say a narcissist is insecure would be to put it lightly. They are PROFOUNDLY insecure. You would be too if you were rejected by everyone, including your parents, for who you really are. It is hard to love and care about someone for who they really are when you dont know who they really are. After all the narcissist has a fake personality which he seems to think people will admire him for but once people see through it, the narcissist becomes very lonely.

How does the narcissist react when new girlfriend dumps him before he can hook her?

Most narcissists operate within a social group for a while, becoming the star of the group, until people begin to catch on to the game. When a new conquest in the group doesn't work out, he is likely to move on rather quickly, preferably in another "neighborhood" since she caught on to him and might reveal him to others. He will badmouth her to others to explain why the relationship ended so quickly. Narcissists are fundamentally insecure so they don't hang around when they are bested, or shall we say busted, by another individual.Most narcissists operate within a social group for a while, becoming the star of the group, until people begin to catch on to the game.

How do you know if you're too insecure?

dont't worry, everyone is insecure, it's what makes us human. But being really insecure can be a problem. signs of this are when you look in the mirror too much, get really angry with yourself, which can also lead to lashing out at others, and taking comments too personally. e.g. if someone says that you looks a little upset, you will start to believe that that is an insult, that the person is saying that you look bad.
