I have met Narcissists and can offer a suggestion on this one. If you suspect you are one, then you probably are not one, but just in case you do have the tendencies, I would urge you to seek counseling and evaluation. I'm assuming a small number of these people can learn new ways of relating and perceiving, through repeating some techniques given by trained therapists. I'd like to suggest that if you are a narcissist and it bothers you, you are far better off than most of them, since they rarely admit to having the problem. I think if you are recognizing the tendencies, you are closer to stopping yourself from staying in the narcissistic role. Just some thoughts.
If you don't have a psychiatric degree then it's simply "arm chair psychology" and no one should try putting a label on another person. The word "narcissist" has been battered around on this board too often, when the person could be suffering from anything from depression, alcohol, drug abuse, etc.
A person that complains alot. Mostly on everthing.
# Get counseling for yourself. # Do NOT Tell him you suspect he's a destructive narcissist! # Learn all you can about this incurable personality disorder # Think about leaving him and things will NOT get better.
A borderline. Essentially a more emotionally reactive narcissist.
He is a narcissistic jerk.
Be careful if you do, the narcissist can be a monster to anyone who hurts their pride.
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.

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.

Probably not, they would fight over mirror time. ;)
depending on if your the narcissist or just someone around the narcissist..... if you are the narcissist dont worry it wont effect you. You will just continue on with your selfish ways and use people for what they can do for you. If your someone around the narcissist..... RUN- get out while you can. The only way to really survive is to not have them in your life
They don't "turn into" a destructive narcissist... they just drop the "nice guy" facade they used to lure you in.
