Narcissists pretty much always operate in 'False Self Mode' because they deny and ignore their real, fallible selves in favour of a false, grandiose self-image. They need to feel good about themselves all the time and cannot, and will not, accept that they have weaknesses and failings like 'ordinary' people. They see themselves as superior and special, far above other mere mortals (that is, the rest of us). There are several articles on Narcissism at:

What Self is the Narcissist using when he gets mean and acts cruelly toward those who care about him?
Narcissists actually self-loathe themselves. The old quote, "You always hurt the ones you love" is true in this case. Narcissists can be either very controlled and crafty or some are out of control like a runaway locomotive. By confronting the Narcissist about the problems they have they become angry because in their heart of hearts they know the person directing the confrontation is right and Narcissists love that control! I understand that N's have a "true self" and a "false self". When they behave cruelly and are mean and cold-eyed, is this the false self in a bad state or the true self screaming for help or perhaps a third self of some kind? They surely must loathe themselves for all the pain and suffering they cause. It's unnecessary and gratuitous, and it makes one wonder if they know what "self" they are even in when they do it. Seems to me they are in a crumbling state of some kind when they do it. They push away the very people who might help them.
Why do Narcissists who ruin you say they love you but walk away anyway?
A true Narcissist does not know what love it. Their heart is an empty shallow shell because they prefer self-centeredness to love. Everything emotional in a Narcissists life is superficial because they really don't have any feelings for other and they don't know how to be empathetic to others needs. All they know how to do is play along. As long as they look good on the outside, their false self, then everything in their life is swwelllllllllllllll.
Does the narcissist destroy more fully the person to whom they are frightened of loving or becoming attached to?
