Does a narcissist focus his rage on just one person?

A narcissist can direct their rage towards multiple people, not just one. They may exhibit a pattern of blaming and attacking those they perceive to threaten their ego or sense of superiority. This behavior is often rooted in their need for admiration and control over others.


Is it necessarily true that those involved with a narcissist have low self-esteem?

Not necessarily. While individuals with low self-esteem may be more susceptible to getting involved with a narcissist, it is not a universal rule. People with different personality traits or vulnerabilities can also find themselves in relationships with narcissists for various reasons.


How do you separate a narcissist from his willing victim?

Separating a narcissist from their willing victim can be challenging due to the manipulative tactics employed by the narcissist. It may require the victim to recognize the patterns of manipulation and seek support from a therapist or counselor to create boundaries and develop a safety plan. Encouraging the victim to prioritize self-care and surround themselves with a supportive network can also help in breaking free from the narcissist.

If one is horrified because he just realized he was a narcissist does this contradict his own verdict of being a narcissist?

No, feeling horrified upon realizing one is a narcissist does not necessarily contradict the diagnosis, as narcissists can experience moments of self-awareness and regret. It could indicate a level of insight and understanding of one's behavior, but addressing these feelings and seeking professional help would be beneficial in addressing narcissistic traits.

What traits would disprove that someone has narcissistic personality disorder?

It's difficult to prove a negative. If a narcissist finds out some of those characteristics, all he has to do is be a good actor. Not being a narcissist is the only quality one could have to prove one is not a narcissist. There is no act a person can perform or one thing a person can do that would prove once and for all that the person is not and never has been and never will be a narcissist. Yet all the same, if you are not a narcissist, other people will recognize this fact, just as if you are, that too will come to light. Empathy. Narcissist's do not posess it nor do they understand it.

How do you make a narcissist attracted to you?

I think narcissists subconsiously classify their romantic relationships in two types; those who are "inferiors" who are meant to worship them and those who are "great" who might understand them and who are worthy of setting boundaries and limits. Narcissists are not ever really attracted to the "inferiors". If the inferiors ever contradict them, they are disposable. They treat inferiors differently than "great" people. Inferiors aren't allowed to set limits and make rules for the kind of treatment they receive from the narcissist. If they try to tell the narcissist they didn't appreciate their treatment, the narcissist laughs at them. Narcissists are attracted to the "greats" and might actually try to get a "great" back after offending him/her. "Greats" are those who can help the narcissist project his great image to the outside world. So, if you want a narcissist to be attracted to you, you should create an image or mirage that a narcissist can brag about to his friends. The "truth" about your accomplishments can be stretched a little. If you know a cerebral narcissist, you should inform him of your great cerebral goals and accomplishments. Buff up your job resume. Going out with him is almost like interviewing for a job (i.e., I received this GPA at Harvard and discovered the cure for cancer. I am also running a marathon and hope to give a piano concert a Carnegie Hall.) If you know a somatic narcissist, you should get a boob job or plastic surgery if you feel like he thinks you're his "inferior". If you look homely compared to your narcissist - cerebral or somatic, fix it by going on a diet, buying nice clothes, or getting cosmetic surgery. Almost any image is fixable in modern day times. Your image that you project to the world should be equally "great" if you want equal treatment and respect from your narcissist. Then, once your worth is almost equal to his, start setting boundaries and let him know he is disposable when he pulls one of his tricks. Maybe even leave him. There is nothing that makes a narcissist fall in love faster than him taking a little abuse and coming back for more. Narcissists are attracted to submissive people who worship them and have the same belief that only some people are "worthy". For instance, if a narcissist has the belief that people are only "OK" if they make all A's in school, then he is attracted to a submissive person who believes that she must make A's. Whether she makes the A's or not does not really matter. She must understand how hard it is to be as great as the narcissist and absolutely worship him and his screwed up beliefs. So, if you want to attract a narcissist, first you must be submissive and "safe" for him to approach. You should dress in washed out submissive colors, have submissive body language with a slight head tilt and with your toes slightly pointed inward, and your voice should be soft. You should give him a lot of eye contact and individual attention. You should say things that focus on the narcissist's greatness. You should compliment him on whatever traits he values most in himself. If he has certain goals, you should have similar goals or make some up and look upon his goals with utmost awe. You can also devalue those around him who would not measure up in his belief system. He loves to feel superior to people around him. The real question here is why would you want a narcassist attracted to you? They will never like you, they will only like what you can do for them. I wouldn't waste my time. This guy will use you up, spit you out and then be baffled as to why you don't want to do it all over again.


How do you get a narcissist to fall for you?

Why bother? He will only be falling for those bits of himself that he sees in you.


Why should people stop domestic violence?

It should be stopped because it's illegal and morally wrong to hurt other people. That especially goes for those you claim to love. Being in a relationship or being married does not mean you have the right to do that to your partner.


Should you tell friend their partner is narcissist?

A - How do you know they are narcissist? B - Why do you assume that the friend doesn't already know? C - Why do you think they might want to know? D - Is it any of your concern? If you can satisfactorily (and honestly) answer those questions then yes, tell the friend, otherwise leave the matter lie.


Can a narcissist really fool people into believing he likes them and values their friendship?

That entirely depends upon the value system of the "target" of the narcissist. For the naive, loyal, trusting sorts...the answer is likely "yes." For those who effectively learn from and use previous life experiences to form their value system and this results in useful critical thinking, healthy suspicions or healthy self-confidence....the answer is likely "no." I believe the most confounding characteristic of the narcissist is that "bait-and-switch-and-then-switch-back-to-the-bait" socializing technique of theirs! They're nice. They're a terror. They turn back to nice. On the receiving end, this is...confusing. And for many, especially those who believe all people are inherently "good,"...there's the inclination to cling to the nice-part of the narcissist; a personal hope/belief that the narcissist will somehow BE or RETURN to BEING that "nice" person that s/he first met or has known. It's hard to let go of that nice or charming person whom they initially knew or met...


What is a benign narcissist?

A benign narcissist is someone who achieves their self-serving goals in ways that don't damage other people. They don't typically try to use, exploit or control those around them for their own ends. A typical narcissist, however, works from the mindset of: "I win, and I don't care if you lose," or, "Your loss is my win." Everything with a typical narcissist is a zero sum game and they are impossible to have long term relationships with because they exploit the insecurities of others around them to feed their own egos.


Is it necessarily true that those involved with a narcissist have low self-esteem?

Not necessarily. While individuals with low self-esteem may be more susceptible to getting involved with a narcissist, it is not a universal rule. People with different personality traits or vulnerabilities can also find themselves in relationships with narcissists for various reasons.
