It's normal and it's the thing to do. By staying in touch with the friends of the narcissist it still links you to the narcissist. Move on and start a new future. What friends? A true narcissist has no real loyal friends. They are known as supply. Those friends who are true to you will "self select" and will make their choice when you break up. However, if they want to maintain contact with the "narcissist" then you need to set them free. It just creates chaos in your life.

Is there a term for people attracted to Narcissists and those who stay with Narcissists for fairly long periods of time?

Many times the victims of narcissists will blame themselves for the destruction of their relationship or for somehow being attracted to someone who is so obviously flawed. The simple reality is, even the narcissist can become quite competent at making someone else feel good for a while. Compulsive liars keep doing what they do because they get good at it and keep convincing everyone that they're telling the truth. It's the same with the narcissist. He/she can make their victims feel good about themselves... up to the point when the relationship is more certain, then the narcissist can show his/her true colors. It's hard to terminate a relationship. Even a destructive relationship like the one you describe. Once you've identified that the problem started with the narcissist, you can start to forgive yourself for reacting to what you've been through, and you can get started moving forward. No, there is nothing wrong with you. But if you keep it up after you've identified the problem, you have nobody to blame but yourself. Now go get involved with a support group and start repairing your life.

How does aging impact a narcissist?

As a narcissist ages, they may struggle with the natural decline in physical appearance, health, and energy. They may also find it challenging to maintain their grandiose self-image as they confront their own mortality. Additionally, they may become more isolated as their relationships become strained due to their manipulative and exploitative behavior.


What conditions might indicate counseling is necessary for the survivor of a relationship with a narcissist?

When you are living with a person that is either physically or mentally abusing you (narcissists are game-players and mind-benders) then the mate that got away needs to go for counseling because the narcissist never will. Narcissists brain-wash their victims. Some victims are slightly abused because they leave the relationship earlier on, while others have put up with it for years and never knew what was wrong with their mate. It isn't important we label the person hurting us, but it's important one gets away from it. Rule of thumb ... when someone hurts you or makes you feel terrible most of the time rather than peaceful or happy it's time to move on! If you love someone you don't make an effort to play games or hurt them. None of us are perfect and we've certainly hurt our mates on occasion (vice-versa for them) but the difference is we say we are sorry and try to rectify what we have done. ANYONE who has been in an abusive relationship needs counseling.

Are Narcissists secretive and get pleasure from giving information that appears true though incomplete?

You bet they do and it's called "pushing your buttons!" They torture their victims and believe they are far more intelligent than most. Big mistake! Don't play the game and ignore them. If you were to reverse the psychology of them they would burst at the seams and could possibly become abusive to get the truth out of you. Narcissists NEVER play second-fiddle to anyone!
