They will start to degrade and abuse you worse than ever.

They don't "turn into" a destructive narcissist... they just drop the "nice guy" facade they used to lure you in.
not so much a narcissist but for sure you will notice in hindsight that you were beginning to act like those morons do.......a co-dependent
Best guess, it can. There is no other way for a true narcissist to be aware of issues within him or herself.
It's difficult to prove a negative. If a narcissist finds out some of those characteristics, all he has to do is be a good actor. Not being a narcissist is the only quality one could have to prove one is not a narcissist. There is no act a person can perform or one thing a person can do that would prove once and for all that the person is not and never has been and never will be a narcissist. Yet all the same, if you are not a narcissist, other people will recognize this fact, just as if you are, that too will come to light. Empathy. Narcissist's do not posess it nor do they understand it.
yes
Not paralyzed -- devoid. They only ACT like they have emotions.
No. He can wish for his "glory days" and ACT sentimental. But he is incapable of feeling it.
Have your LAWYER speak for you. Be professional in dress and manner. Do NOT make eye contact with the narcissist. Be truthful. Write out everything you want them to know about him and speak NON-EMOTIONALLY about his conduct... JOURNAL & DOCUMENT so you have back up.
The best thing to do is to continue to be who and what you are. If the person is truly a narcissist, this is or will become clear to everyone else. The worst things you can do are to act defensively, or try to damage the reputation of the person.
A narcissist doesn't care about anyone other than themselves. When this person is finished with one person, that person no longer matters. They move on and it doesn't matter with whom (friend or someone you don't even know).
when you know your a good actor is when you get lost in your character when you LOVE to act.
