You can speak about the children of narcissists as a general group, and see that they are more likely to suffer some sort of damage - such as an never learning empathy and how to personally attach to another individual.

You cannot make a blanket statement, however. Each child reacts somewhat differently, and each child has a different support structure outside of the narcissistic relationship. Even the degrees of severity of the Narcissism help to determine the extent of the damage done on the child.

Suffice it to say that having a narcissistic parent or parents puts the child at a disadvantage when it comes to learning how to interact with other people. If they do not find good examples and role models elsewhere, the chances are slim that they can figure out how to relate with others on their own.

And, if you are the child of a narcissist, and recognize it, I suggest that you seek other relationships to model and learn from!

Are narcissists also mysogonists?

Narcissists can exhibit misogynistic tendencies, but not all narcissists are necessarily misogynists. Narcissism involves a self-centered worldview and a lack of empathy, which can lead to objectifying others, including women. Misogyny, on the other hand, specifically refers to a dislike or prejudice against women. While there can be overlap, each condition has distinct characteristics, and not all narcissists harbor misogynistic views.

Are all narcissists sex addicts?

No, not all narcissists are necessarily sex addicts. Narcissism is a personality trait characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a lack of empathy, and a constant need for admiration. On the other hand, sex addiction is a behavioral disorder characterized by an unhealthy and compulsive preoccupation with sexual thoughts, fantasies, and activities. While there might be some overlap between narcissism and sex addiction, they are distinct concepts. Some narcissists may engage in sexually compulsive behavior due to their desire for validation and attention, but it's not accurate to say that all narcissists are sex addicts or that all sex addicts are narcissists.
