they can be quiet. a cerebral narcissist may not approach people or talk to those they feel are inferior, or that will not stimulate them in a way that provides supply. otherwise it would just be an act that furthers the false self they are portraying, or as a way of observing during the period where they decide what quality of supply source you will be. a shy person is timid, and afraid of being hurt in a social situation. the narcissist is malicious.

One Perspective:Yes, narcissists generally feign confidence but don't actually have it.

Another:

To clarify, yes, it is possible, but unlikely. By definition Narcissism is unrealistic, unjustified self-confidence.

NO because they have no real emotions. They literally can't feel. They can act like they feel but they don't.

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.

Can a person be emotionally unstable and be narcissistic?

Absolutely. Yes yes yes! One of the many horrible traits of narcissism is being emotionally unstable. The narcissist I knew very well would have horrible fits and tantrums over little things that a normal person who is emotionally stable could deal with. Narcissists are emotionally and mentally immature. I would always ask the N I hung out with when he did something stupid (which was a lot) how old are you 10? He freaked out over everything. Esp. if he didn't get his way. Not getting their way or getting what they want when they want it is usually what sets a narcissist off in the first place. So yes an emotionally unstable person could absolutely be a narcissist.

Will a narcissist leave a woman if she is too strong?

Sometimes not at first because a narcissist likes drama and likes to be around special people in order to feel special vicariously. But if and when she becomes too much for him to deal with he will leave. A narcissist really needs submissive women. Women they can dominate and control and get "Narcissistic supply" from....at heart they are insecure cowards!
