Are you asking with the hopes that he wont find another woman but will be okay say with his work etc? Please don't allow him to have any affect on you. He is a N. That is the biggest waste of time. He doesnt value anyone or anything. He values what people and things do for him. He feels no more about a woman than say a new peice of furniture. He will eventually become bored and crap all over it. I found this hard to accept but now that I do, I don't take it personally anymore.
i am asking because...My ex N is a musician, as I am. He was the supreme braggart re: his abilities. He plays with a band that he feels is superior to any in town. This is not the case. I could envison him competing with me in the music field just to upset me, in fact he threatened me many times with this, saying he would ruin my reputation.I don't believe he can, but I know how driven he is about his music. He seems to go for long periods in between relationships. I'm just CURIOUS I guess.Could his music serve as adequate supply in the absence of a relationship with a woman? The more I learn about this stuff, by the way, the easier it is for me to deal with. I don't ever want him back. AnswerNo. They have to be in complete control of their work, social life and private life. As the other poster said, don't worry about it. Narcissistic people end up burning their bridges and living a very lonely life sooner or later.Oooh...who is the mucisian? Does he live in Brooklyn, NY? I also know an N mucisian and I think they use their 'fame status' and admiration from fans as sources of supply. So they can probably go longer periods without a woman based on their level of sucess... I think sucessful N's who are in the limelight, also have crazy work hours (staying up all night to work on music, and have a high level of productivity and are very prolific) The N mucisian I know, also uses a lot of God images in his music. At first I thought "Oh he's spiritual, until I realized "No, he just likes to associate with power and God is power, therefore it gives him a sense of omnipotence.
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.
Gather as much factual evidence as possible.
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.
Need For Material Management: 1. To have adequate materials in hand when needed 2. To pay the lowest possible price, consistent with quality and value requirement for purchases materials. 3. To minimize the inventory investment. 4. To operate efficiently.
Filtration is possible using an adequate filter.
Yes. And let him... keep going... as FAR AWAY from him as possible.
Please let me apologize in advance for my sarcasm, but I wish this were always the case! If all the narcissists paired up, then they would leave all us normal folks alone... Seriously, I did read somewhere (in Sam Vaknin's site?) that there are two particular "types" of narcissists may do well for a time...Was it an inverted narcissist he was refering to? I don't quite remember.(Google: "inverted narcissist maybe?) I also read that there are folks out there that actually like being in a relationship with a narcissist!
I think it's possible.
Using adequate procedures of separation it is possible.
It can be possible to be friends with a narcissist but do not expect much from this person. Also expect the friendship not to be very fufilling and mostly one sided (on your part) The one thing that does help is that you already know that he/she is a narcissist so you will understand why they do or say most things. I say give it a shot but do not expect too much like a friendship where that person will always be there for you no matter what because that just will not happen. I know this from experience. GOODLUCK!
You don't! That's simply not possible for someone with a personality disorder that's incurable. YOU GET AWAY FROM THEM ASAP!
Yes, especially when no one is looking. Narcissist love hurting others.
