A narcissist has no personality of his own. He creates it through other people or what is called Narcissistic Supply (I read this, it makes sense to me so I use the term kind of loosely). But it is really quite simple. He or she is a user, and gets fulfillment out of using people. So when the supply (people, things) dwindle, yes - they do fear rejection. They cycle in and out of depression, anger, angst - all sorts of psychological highs and lows - until they find someone or something else to fill the huge void in their souls. Don't get sucked into this vacuum, you'll lose your spirit if you don't leave...and quite possibly your soul. Hope this helped..read anything by Sam Vaknin on the internet, finding most of your help using a search engine and the term "narcissistic personality disorder". Peace, mbme I am no expert either, but I believe narcissists are terrified of lots of things, rejection being one of many. Anything that may separate them from their "supply" may cause them distress. I think that after a time they build coping mechanisms for this. Finding new supply is, of course, the best "cure" for their angst. They may turn inward, focusing on their "fantasies of greatness", becoming moody and introspective. They definitely take out their frustration on people and things, become destructive and inflict the hurt they cannot allow themselves to feel. I believe this is the point where they may exhibit risky behavior, increase drug and alcohol abuse...anything to distract their minds from inner turmoil. Speaking from my life experiences of67 years, I would say a definite yes. Rejection hurts everyone to some degree. Iam not positive to what degree a narcissist would be "pained" emotionally. He or She would probably get out of the life of the person who rejected them. I am not a psychologist, etc. Just my life experience speaking!

No because rejection means you know who and what they really are and know all their true self. They think they are god and that one cannot live without them.

If a narcissist marries someone with Borderline Personality Disorder do they have a better chance of making the marriage work longterm?

In my humble opinion, they have no chance of any meaningful relationship because of the inability to love. This is a very difficult combination; the borderline will have a deep fear of rejection and so does the narcissist. The Narcissist is likely to lie and cheat which compounds the Borerlines fear of rejection, the lack of empathy from the narcissist replays the early injuries to the Borderline. There is a very good book. The Narcissistic/Borderline Couple - A Psychoanalytic Perspective on marital treatment.


Will the histrionic female narcissist always become spiteful if you refuse them sex?

The Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD) is a separate mental health disorder. I assume, therefore, that you are referring to the SOMATIC female narcissist. She derives her sense of self-worth from her sexual conquests. And, yes, she is enraged by rejection.

It is unlikely for a narcissist in the closet to openly admit to being gay, as they often struggle with vulnerability and fear rejection. They may continue to deny their true sexual orientation to maintain their façade of control and superiority.
