What is the difference between healthy narcissism?
Healthy narcissism is when you love yourself for who you really are. Pathological narcissim is when you are in love with an image of yourself you cannot obtain. Everyone has traits from both, especially in western society where focus is on the individual.

Use narcissim in a sentence?
Narcissism as a personality disorder, prevents those with it from having any REAL relationships and causes inevitable harm to everyone around them.

Not necessarily. Panic attacks and narcissism CAN go together in a sense. They are both symptoms of depression, but indeed they are not the same things.
Does narcissim lead to alcoholism?
No direct connection has been established. However, since narcissists by definition are only concerned about themselves and their wants, it is not unusual for them to seek gratification in alcohol and/or other drugs.

Is there a type of mental illness where a mother does not want her sons to have relationships with women?
Actually it may be a form of narcissim which is a personality disorder. There can be conditions where a mother becomes over-protective of her children, or never feels that any girl is "good enough" for them. This could be due to relationship issues in her own past. Sometimes parents feel so insecure about being left alone in their later years that they do everything they can to keep their children from marrying and moving away.
A person that is narcissim are they capable of killing?
If narcissists were to inflict mortal abuse, it seems that they would be more likely to kill their victims bit by bit - they are emotional vampires. They drain the life out of people to whom they are attached. They are not axe-wielding psychopaths. They latch onto strong people who have a lot of resources so that they can suck as much strength out of them as possible because cultivating new sources of supply takes effort. The victim would be more likely to develop some kind of illness rather than suffering a direct violent attack.
Can the siblings of a strong narcissist share the same tendencies without being narcissists?
I am the person who originally posted this question. I am sorry, however, that having been edited by the FAQ team, my question has lost it's original meaning. What I originally asked is: Can the siblings of a strong N share SOME of the same tendencies and not be narcissist's themselves? Now I will share the reason for my question. My N husband is the baby of five children. As an in-law I have many times noticed that the overall family's MO is that if one doesn't do what they want when they want or etc., one finds himself either completely ignored, left out or otherwise cut off from the family. I know this is a subtle form of manipulation, not at all unlike those used by an N. While I believe that none of the other siblings are full-blown N's, this seems very normal within the family. The reason I ask this question is because I wonder if this is just a family dysfunction, or the sprinklings of Narcissim showing itself in the other family members.
Why would a never married narcissist take you for a lovely dinner and then become nervous and leave quite soon after sex?
This isn't narcissim, but a man that uses women. You led him to believe that you could be bought off with a dinner. That's not uncommon, but next time, go for the dinner and if the guy wants to squeek the sheets with you, then hand over half of the money he paid for the dinner and tell him to get lost. I've done that in the past when I dated. I owe no man anything just because he took me to a nice restaurant. "Courting" although eyes will roll all over the floor at that word, is just that ... you are trying to impress each other and show off what you have (that just doesn't mean sexually.) I am not a believer in hitting the sheets for the first 4 - 8 dates, depending on how complicated a personality my date had. With all the diseases going around today I often wonder why people (not suggesting you are) have no qualms about going to bed with another partner so quickly. When dating I use to like to get to know the person first and then decide if sex entered into the relationship at all. If it didn't, I moved on. I still think the old ethics of sex saves a lot of pain for people in this modern age. I've learned the hard way ... you always have to pay the price for your own actions.
How do you expose narcissism in court during a custody battle?
The following are suggestions from contributors:Here are a few of the things the narcissist finds devastating, especially in a court of law, for instance during a deposition:Any statement or fact, which seems to contradict his inflated perception of his grandiose self.Any criticism, disagreement, exposure of fake achievements, belittling of "talents and skills" which the narcissist fantasizes that he possesses, any hint that he is subordinated, subjugated, controlled, owned or dependent upon a third party.Any description of the narcissist as average and common, indistinguishable from many others.Any hint that the narcissist is weak, needy, dependent, deficient, slow, not intelligent, naive, gullible, susceptible, not in the know, manipulated, a victim.The narcissist is likely to react with rage to all these and, in an effort to re-establish his fantastic grandiosity, he is likely to expose facts and stratagems he had no conscious intention of exposing. The narcissist reacts with narcissistic rage, hatred, aggression, or violence to an infringement of what he perceives to be his entitlement. Any insinuation, hint, intimation, or direct declaration that the narcissist is not special at all, that he is average, common, not even sufficiently idiosyncratic to warrant a fleeting interest will inflame the narcissist.Tell the narcissist that he does not deserve the best treatment, that his needs are not everyone's priority, that he is boring, that his needs can be catered to by an average practitioner (medical doctor, accountant, lawyer, psychiatrist), that he and his motives are transparent and can be easily gauged, that he will do what he is told, that his temper tantrums will not be tolerated, that no special concessions will be made to accommodate his inflated sense of self, that he is subject to court procedures, etc. - and the narcissist will lose control.Contradict, expose, humiliate, and berate the narcissist. Document every incident completely - behavior, late arrivals, injuries, neglect, threats, rages, etc. This makes it more difficult for them to continue making up more stories to explain away the behavior. We focused on specific behaviors or lack of. Research and then document. Facts and truth are best weapons against a Narcissist.
