Why do narcissists murder?

Answer 1

All types of people can kill and being narcissistic has little to do with it. The person is a plain killer! I've studied the mind of some serial killers and it's very interesting. These people have absolutely no guilt or morality and if you look at their eyes they are ice cold and I call them "shark eyes." The term "Eyes are the windows of your soul" has never so true.

People kill for different reasons and we all could kill if a situation got out of hand because it's plain old survival at times:

Killing over jealousyAngerAn argument that has gotten out of handDrugs or alcohol involved making the person lose controlJust being pure meanAngry at society in generalHaving a personal break-downSome medications can cause outburst of severe anger and even suicide attempts

Answer 2

it is something wrong with their body when they are born. I cant really answer that question but I am going to put in just some insights into how I look at that question and what my reaction is to it. One reads so much about the genetic factor and the environmental stages in the life of an individual. There is some truth to all of it. To believe that a narcissist comes from a dysfunctional family, that he/she was abused is too abstract. It steers away from common ethics of behavior in the now. However, all of us were molded and influenced to some degree. Many have been abused or neglected. I look at the neglect factor as being very crucial in any one's development. My ex Npd family are fine people. They are all intersupportive. The ex's father is a recovering alcoholic and for many years while his children were young, he was away as a Navy Seal. This couple have been together for 45 years. Still love one another or are at least highly supportive of one another. There was a son born before my ex. He died at 2 years of age due to leukemia. The father was devastated and was not there emotionally for his wife. She was pregnant with my ex. It must have been very difficult for her. Italian origin, she doted on her second son. three daughters followed. The attention she gave her son was exaggerated. Smart kid, often kept to himself. This isolation factor in the socialization period can be very detrimental. We learn how to behave with others during these times and we develop those patterns of value within ourself as well. If we are not confronted early on, the patterns of perception of others and ourself can get distorted. His mother being overly protective triggered some jealousy in the father. He seemed to favor the daughters more, at least he was validated more by the women. His son did not bond well with him and began to see himself as very special in his mothers eyes. At school when ever he was teased about something or rejected, his mother would just say, oh, they are not worth the trouble. You are just too smart for them! Wow, I see it perfectly now, as far as my ex goes. He used his mom as an excape for having to learn to be compassionate and caring. As long as someone would idolize you, you were fine. A couple of years ago, his father told me: "I am sorry that I wasnt around so much when my son was younger. I also was afraid that he would die like my first son so I detached. As many times as he risked death in drug activities, I was sure I would get a call one day that he was dead." Sad, but it seems to me that isolation , at a particularly crucial developmental stage,and an overly doting parent can damage a child just as much as physical/sexual abuse. Knowing the mother, I think she was often confusing fear and love. Perhaps too much. Expecially after he robbed her and put her life in danger. She just closed her eyes to it. And her son learned to believe that he could get away with anything, any form of abuse as long as he reminded them of how special he was and that he loved them. Which often translates to "I need you to love me so that my needs are met and I can feel better about me. Some narcissists hold their loved ones hostage. Makes me think of the Stockholm Syndrome.
