Why is would a narcissist ex be nice to you out of the blue while still in a relationship with another woman?
because she might like you
If a narcissist turns into a malignant narcissist can they loose their charm then act only monotone and passive?
They don't "turn into" a destructive narcissist... they just drop the "nice guy" facade they used to lure you in.
Is it true that sometimes the Narcissist will be extra nice to you just before you're discarded?
There is no rule in these matters - so, no, it is not universally true. It depends on the narcissist in question.
Does a narcissist purposely try to hurt you and why?
no. a sadist would want to hurt you. a narcissist would want to be hurt.
If you sent a nice text message to a narcissists then told them it was in fact meant for someone else how would the narcissist react?
He might be offended that it wasn't intended for him, he might become upset or displeased that you didn't think the same of him. His ego would be hurt because in his eye's why wouldn't the message be intended for him? --a recovering narcissist
Can a narcissist be friends with another narcissist?
Probably not, they would fight over mirror time. ;)
Why would a narcissist let her husband make fun of her and belittle her in public and all she can say is that he is only jokeing?
She wouldn't. That is not a reaction that a narcissist would have.
Can a codependent and a narcissist be together?
Why would ANYONE want to be with a narcissist? A codependent would be about the only type of personality that could tolerate being with a narcissist, and they will pay a terrible price. Dump the narcissist and get some help with the codependency. ACOA, CODA, Al-anon and Nar-anon are as close as your telephone.
What do you call a person who praises himself?
You would call a person who praises himself a lot a narcissist.
What do you do if you have reached an impassse with your narcissistic spouse and they are prolonging the silent treatment toward you?
Go to counseling. Rejoice! And again I say, rejoice! There is no silence more golden than a narcissist's. To not have to hear that annoying voice! It is truly heaven. Let me tell you how things work with a narcissist. They come from opposite land in Bizarro universe. The only way to get a narcissist to be nice to you is to (paradoxically) treat them terribly by ignoring them entirely. If the narcissist is ignoring you, you must have done something awfully decent and nice to deserve this. Do you see the impossibility of ever successfully dealing with and having a relationship with such a person? I would say, take immediate advantage of the impasse and the resulting silence by leaving the narcissist. No matter what you do, never pay any attention to the narcissist again, and don't talk or call or write unless forced by law to do so. The narcissist will always think of you, in the Bizarro universe way, as a wonderful person and will crave your attention, which you will never give. Thus exacting justice on the narcissist while taking back your life. Too bad you have to be mean to show a narcissist how wonderful you are, but you didn't start this thing. You should be the one to end it, though.
Can a narcissist really fool people into believing he likes them and values their friendship?
That entirely depends upon the value system of the "target" of the narcissist. For the naive, loyal, trusting sorts...the answer is likely "yes." For those who effectively learn from and use previous life experiences to form their value system and this results in useful critical thinking, healthy suspicions or healthy self-confidence....the answer is likely "no." I believe the most confounding characteristic of the narcissist is that "bait-and-switch-and-then-switch-back-to-the-bait" socializing technique of theirs! They're nice. They're a terror. They turn back to nice. On the receiving end, this is...confusing. And for many, especially those who believe all people are inherently "good,"...there's the inclination to cling to the nice-part of the narcissist; a personal hope/belief that the narcissist will somehow BE or RETURN to BEING that "nice" person that s/he first met or has known. It's hard to let go of that nice or charming person whom they initially knew or met...
What does it mean when the narcissist starts acting nice?
He/she wants something. == Just ignore him. He will simply go elsewhere to play games.
