Yikes. Living with a narcissist. I can tell you from experience that I only lasted about three months. Barely. We each had our own bedroom and then the bedroom we slept in together. But, in our bedroom I wasn't allowed to have a tv, pictures on the walls, or furnishings in the room because he didn't think a bedroom should have anything in it to distract from sleep. The bedroom was HIS sanctuary. If I wanted "things," I had to put them in my own bedroom. I couldn't have new sheets (he slept with a lot of other women on his old sheets) because the sheets were fine (many holes). I had to get our counselor to tell him to get me new sheets. Finally, he relented. He complained about my long hair getting caught in the drain, he didn't let me take the good silverware out of the house for any reason (for example, to eat breakfast on the deck), if I ate anything that would make me fat (as he was obsessed with how he and I looked physically). He would comment if I ate chocolate milk during any other time than after working out, if I ate more than a handful of peanuts, if I put salt on anything....The list goes on and on. I eventually moved out because I couldn't handle it anymore. We tried to keep dating, but eventually that ended too because his ego had taken too big of a hit from me moving out. He aknowledged that I had to move out to keep my sanity and eventually started to realize how much he tormented me....but I can't say living with him (the third woman in 5 years) he will not change and more than likely another woman will move in and do the same thing. I wouldn't advise living with one.
Living with a narcissist can be challenging, but it's important to set boundaries, prioritize self-care, and seek support from friends, family, or a therapist. It may also be helpful to educate yourself about Narcissism and practice assertiveness in your interactions with the narcissist.
DON'T
if you want to make them happy lock them up in a room full of mirrors.

The antonym for the word narcissist is altruist. An altruist is someone who selflessly cares for the well-being of others, in contrast to a narcissist who is excessively self-involved.
It's important to encourage the inverted narcissist to set boundaries with the covert narcissist and seek support from a therapist who understands narcissistic dynamics. Building self-awareness and self-esteem can also help the inverted narcissist navigate and protect themselves from the covert narcissist's manipulation and toxicity. Ultimately, their well-being should be the priority.
Yes. Otherwise they'll get deeper and deeper into it. At lease they have a fighting chance if you tell them.
It is not advised to manipulate a narcissist in this manner. It is best to involve law enforcement or negotiators trained to handle hostage situations. Attempting to manipulate a narcissist could escalate the situation and put the hostage in more danger.
Yes, but only if he got something out of it.
yes they can, in my experience the child's narcissism is a result of being raised by a narcissist ,
No because rejection means you know who and what they really are and know all their true self. They think they are god and that one cannot live without them. They believe that you are the one who needs them, when in reality it is the other way around. Once a narcissist always a narcissist. They cannot change
A borderline. Essentially a more emotionally reactive narcissist.
Um...was that New Years Eve, 2011? Do you live in Colorado?
He is a narcissistic jerk.
Be careful if you do, the narcissist can be a monster to anyone who hurts their pride.
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.

It is possible to show up a narcissist publicly, but if you do, the narcissist is going to be very angry at you. It is not always a wise strategy to make enemies.
