Adding empathy and integrity to your character.
You can't. If a person is a true narcissist, you can't 'make' them behave otherwise. Narcissism can only be modified by a professional and then only if the narcissist is motivated to try.
Passive-aggressive behavior is one of the narcissists' favorite tools.
A malignant narcissist cannot magically shed his damaging patterns of behavior to bestow unconditional love upon his child. A good parent is one who places his child's needs above his own. A narcissist always places their needs first.
Depends if he is also a sadist or not.
Yes, depending on the group (social) dynamic. A narcissist's ego must be stroked. Your opinion is meaningless to them. If you feel they have value worth the cost, you will stroke it. The behavior is destructive; keep a safe distance.
Since the narcissist has built his existence on a completely false view of himself he feels extreme satisfaction with his performance and basks in the adoration of others who may be fooled by his behavior. On a good day the narcissist is on top of the world, continuously buoyed up by his feeling of superiority. On a bad day, reality may break through and he is bothered by his feelings of inadequacy.Since the narcissist has built his existence on a completely false view of himself he feels extreme satisfaction with his performance and basks in the adoration of others who may be fooled by his behavior.

Yes, especially if that is how their brain "wired" itself to deal with that sort of behavior.
Passive Aggressive Behavior is part of being a Destructive Narcissist. They could do both.
Because she is a malignant narcissist and refuses to accept responsibility for her hurtful behavior...
A borderline. Essentially a more emotionally reactive narcissist.
OF COURSE! Mines is doing that now. They'd do anything to make themselves look like the saint. That is classic narcissist behavior. You have to be pretty careful in knowing who your friends are and who the narcissist has gotten to. I hate to say it but in order to figure out what the narcissist is up to, you have to think like a narcissist. Of course that makes you look bad, like you ARE a narcissist (you've probably picked up some narcissist behaviors being around one anyway) so BE CAREFUL. My narcissist called this game "Ex Caliber" after King Arthur's sword. He said people who were pure and of good intentions could slip past his defenses. Translation: You better make yourself look better than the narcissist and dodge the mud he's flinging if you want to keep your friends!
NO! it gets worse! get away - STAY AWAY!!
