No, not at all. Many people get involved with a narcissist not
knowing that they are a narcissist. You can have very high self
esteem when you meet these people. They are cunning charmers and it
can take you quite some time to work out what they're about. In the
process of it all though if you become a victim of the "N"s ways
your self esteem may plummet. You may start to question who you
are. It can chip away at your self esteem before you even realize
it's happening.

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.

Asked in Narcissism
Can a narcissist be shy?
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.

Is it common that victims will want to cut ties with the narcissist's friends after leaving the relationship?
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.
Asked in Narcissism
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.
Asked in Narcissism
Can someone with narcisistic personality disorder be faithful?
I believe the short answer is "no." A narcissist believes that
all people should love him. Therefore, once he has gained your
love, you will be just like everyone else. Narcissists are only
attracted to those who do not love them. To love a narcissist is to
experience heartbreak.

Asked in Narcissism, Sociopathy (Psychopathy)
Are most narcissist bisexual?
No, most aren't. However, there have been studies that showed
that there is a higher rate of bisexuality and homosexuality in
narcissists than the average. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean
that bisexuals/homosexuals are more likely to be narcissists. One
theory uses this logic:
1. A narcissist believes that he or she can do no wrong.
2. It is theorized that many people who have homosexual
tendencies repress them because they think of them as wrong.
3. If people did not think that homosexuality was wrong, then
those people would probably be homosexuals.
4. A narcissist will be accepting of whatever she or he is.
5. A narcissist will accept his or her own homosexuality, or for
that matter anything about her- or himself.
6. This leads to the conclusion that a higher proportion of the
narcissists who have bisexual or homosexual tendencies
(which is the same percent of narcissists as it is of any group of
people) will accept who they are and be bisexual or homosexual. It
still won't be most, though.
