Do other disorders have the same abrupt and cruel end as Narcissism with no chance for closure?
Well, Someone with Bipolar disorder will push away, but they will feel remorse later. Someone with Borderline Personality Disorder will push off, but they are hoping for the other person to come after them. They fear abandonement. But a person with Narcissism thrives on having the power to walk away. Some will even brag about it. Think of how foolish we look when we reach out to them over and over, only to be left again. Mine swore to me and to God that he would take away all the pain he had caused me in the past, did a good job of it for awhile. Then he started hanging up on me.(He also had thought he had seen the devil in a WalMart) Last time was a month ago, and I have heard nothing. All I know is He came back and did the EXACT same thing he has done 10 times in the 10 years I have known him. He only pops his head in from out of the blue every few months to see if he could still get to me, and I fell for it over and over.I don't know if he is Bipolar or Borderline or has NPD, but I've been reading everything I can to learn about mental illness because of the heartache he has caused and I know this....A person with NPD will offer you a romantic fantasy,which is NOT the real person. (Unfortunately, the good times are what we cling to with all our heart and soul in hopes that they will change)The real person they are is the one that keeps you emotionally heartbroken constantly. I now choose to be happy, and the only way I will do this is to not have any contact with him PERIOD.No email, no reply, no phonecalls. Empower yourself Because a NPD will never never never change. I agree 100% with the above person. I laughed at the comment about the devil in Walmart. My ex-husband was always coming up with ridiculous things like this, claiming he saw really weird things and that these amazing things happened and he saved the day and everyone applauded him. He claimed to see (his words not mine) "rabid midgets" everywhere. He also claimed to be deathly afraid of eggplants and Sphinx cats. It was just ridiculous. If he dreamed I did something, he would hold me responsible for it in real life. My point is there is just no sifting through and making sense of all the stuff they say and throw at you. They will say or do anything to get attention. You will notice they start to recycle information after awhile, though, or borrow it from others. This is because despite the constant emphasis on how "creative" he was, my ex and I would assume most narcissists actually lack originality and imagination. Underneath it all there's just this really simple basic program that keeps repeating itself over and over. That's why they make so many references to viruses. They don't have personalities; they just have the impetus to survive and recreate themselves. The narcissist personality resembles a virus much more than it resembles a psyche. Don't be fooled. There's very little going on in there other than cunning and massive self-similarity and self-replication. However, the simplicity of this pattern is what makes it so hardy and resiliant. It also enables them to create patterns of startling, and usually unnecessary, complexity. It is surprizingly seductive, and will cause you to wish the person could just resolve their issues, and then wouldn't they be fine? The short answer to all this is no. They will never achieve resolution or closure because what they are inherently is damaged and it cannot stop being what it is. It is like asking an insect to undergo psychoanalyisis. It might be able to learn some new tricks, but it will never change what it is internally: its true nature. I say this after having had many, many hours of conversation with an incorrigible narcissist. Over the course of many years, the themes I mentioned above kept coming out. He was actually obsessed with closure, and talked about achieving it at length, but never got any closer to this goal in all that time. I assume the only closure he will ever receive is death. He actually thinks so too, and told me on many occasions that he would probably "die alone with only the pigeons for friends like Nicola Tesla." Another example I submit to you of the narcissist only achieving closure in death is Timothy Treadwell of the film Grizzly Man. If you watch this film carefully and are familiar with narcissists, you will begin to notice that Treadwell seems aware that he is going to die near the end of the film. He seems to have set up his own demise. I think this is what can happen to narcissists, if they survive everything else. Because they are so self-obsessed, they ultimately engineer their own end.

Autosomal dominant disorders are rare in the general population because individuals with these disorders typically have a 50 chance of passing on the mutated gene to their offspring. This means that the disorder can be quickly eliminated from a population if affected individuals have fewer children or if the mutation is harmful enough to reduce the chances of survival and reproduction.

There is a difference between narcissism and being selfish and self-centered. If you are asking this question, there is a good chance that you fall into the second category. (That's a good thing.)

Is there a link in omega 3 deficiency and narcissism?
From personal experience, I say no. The narcissist I knew ate salmon, fish, seafood and sashimi every chance he had. All of these are high on Omega 3s. He also ate packaged tuna from a bag as a snack. All of this was to maintain his muscular physique by eating lean proteins.
