Can a narcissist have an emotional affair?

Yes, with themselves.


How does the emotional manipulator feel?

They don't, they tend to not have a conscience...which means they act without caring how or who it effects, temporarily and/or permanently.


How do you handle a manipulator?

Start with the idea that "You can't cheat an honest man (or woman!)" One of a manipulator's tricks is to "make an offer you can't refuse." Fact is though, you can refuse. Another ploy is sympathy. The manipulator will exaggerate the danger they're in, or the importance of your support. The more emotional the manipulator becomes, the more analytical you should try to be. Don't get swept up in the emotion of the situation. Always take time to think about the situation away from the manipulator. (After all, it's not your fault they're in a crisis!) Remember: the manipulator needs you more than you need them! Successful manipulators know how to "push your buttons." Is it easy to make you feel guilty? Do you have doubts about your judgement? Are you shy? These are among the "buttons" manipulators can use. This is why you need time away to analyze the situation without the manipulator's pressure. Sometimes, just realizing they're "trying to make me feel guilty" can help!


Does a Narcissist have a twisted mind?

Yes. They will alter, distort your mental, moral, or emotional character. Run as fast as you can!! Don't wait out the game...you will loose.


Is there any hope for a narcissists' grandchildren and how can the parents of the children deal with the narcissist?

There is every hope. Don't ever allow them to spend ANY time alone with the narcissist and protect them from their criticisms and reaffirm their self worth and value if the Narcissist gets to them. if things get bad, just stop taking the children. Their emotional, psychological and mental protection is paramount.

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?


What are the sources of guilt for a narcissist?

Conscience. One must know the difference between right and wrong and recognize that one has done wrong that has caused harm. Guilt is the emotional response to that recognition.


Does the narcissist discard you permanently if he believes you cheated on him?

I have a former friend who is an insecure narcissist. Because he treated his wife so poorly, she cheated on him with someone who could provide her with the emotional support that he withheld from her. Upon learning that she cheated on him, he rejected her. Later though, he begged and pleaded for her to return to him. Luckily for her, she did no such thing. And why would she after the horrible things he said to her?


Is it wrong to tell someone that you do not know that they are dealing with a narcissist?

Wow...I was wondering the same thing. I know for sure that someone I do not know "personally" is dealing with a narcissist. Yet, I would say follow your gut on this one. If you have had an experience with the narcissist that can actually enlighten the person in question, it may not hurt. It will probably save them lots of emotional energy and heartache down the line. In addition, by chance they have yet to see the signs, your advice may aid in identifying future "red flags"...No.


Why would your female somatic narcissist throw a shoe at you taking into consideration that they are emotional vampires?

If you know that much about narcissism, then you know the answer to that question. Stop kidding yourself. We suggest counseling -- for couples, if she will go, and definitely for you in any case.


Have any other adult children of narcissists had the experience of becoming the main focus of abuse when the non-narcissist parent dies and been able to recover fully?

The emotional abuse intensifies. It is extremely difficult emotionally but you have to disengage, back off and, in my case, I have no other choice but to avoid contact in order to maintain sanity and emotional health.,
