Is the child of a narcissist likely to inherit anything after the narcissist's death?

Do narcissists ever forgive and forget a narcissistic injury?

No. Stay away from narcissists. They are not truly focussed on anything you did, bad or good. They are focussed only on what they want--and what they want is to be the center of attention at any price. It is very unlikely that you, or anyone else, created an unforgivable injury to a narcissist. At the same time, it is very likely that that narcissist will use anything you did, good, bad or indifferent, to manipulate you into doing more of whatever it is that he or she wants. Don't fall into it. Think of Admiral Ackbar: It's a trap! For real.

Could a narcissist person be arrested or hospitalized for being harassing?

Quite likely. Narcissists are likely to be bullies if they don't get what they want. Chances are they could bully the wrong person. If they bully some dude with martial art experience they will most likely be hospitalized. If they bully someone who calls the police they will most likely be arrested. If they bully someone in a gang they might wake up with a few nasty knife wounds. Most narcissists do not know what a narcissist is!!

What are symptoms of homosexuality in somatic narcissists?

A somatic narcissist is someone who feels superior to others in relation to their body. So they think they are sexy or hot. A cerebral narcissist is someone who feels superior to other in relation to their mind. They see themselves as intellectually superior to others. Traditionally, males are more likely to be cerebral narcissists, while females are more likely to be somatic narcissists. However, when dealing with LGBT persons, these labels do not always line up along gender lines so neatly.

Will the narcissist be unfaithful to new girlfriend of 8 months?

I don't thinks narcissists have been proven to be unfaithful in fact certain narcissists might pride themselves on being faithful in relationships. There are also different types of narcissists I'm not sure weather these types are officially recognized or not. and some may be more likely to be unfaithful than others.

Why do narcissists come back?

Narcissists need to always be complimented; dramatize their lifestyle or indeavors;adored; admired, etc., and it's 'running out of supplies' for the narcissist when they want to come back to the partner they were with. This means the narcissist is not being supplied to boost his or her's ego and they know they can more than likely get the boost (like a drug addiction) from their former partner.

Is there a connection between narcissism and bisexuality?

No, most aren't. However, there have been studies that showed that there is a higher rate of bisexuality and homosexuality in narcissists than the average. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that bisexuals/homosexuals are more likely to be narcissists. One theory uses this logic:1. A narcissist believes that he or she can do no wrong.2. It is theorized that many people who have homosexual tendencies repress them because they think of them as wrong.3. If people did not think that homosexuality was wrong, then those people would probably be homosexuals.4. A narcissist will be accepting of whatever she or he is.5. A narcissist will accept his or her own homosexuality, or for that matter anything about her- or himself.6. This leads to the conclusion that a higher proportion of the narcissists who have bisexual or homosexual tendencies(which is the same percent of narcissists as it is of any group of people) will accept who they are and be bisexual or homosexual. It still won't be most, though.

Is a violent narcissist always going to be a narcissist or can they change in a new relationship?

Narcissists are the least likely to go for any type of counseling and it's a rarity they will ever change no matter how good the next relationship is. When narcissists meet with pyschiatrists they resist therapy, they turn the tables and start pyschoanalyzing the pyschiatrist, using pyschology as a weapon against them. Sometimes doing so very successfully, letting a narcissist understand pyschology is like giving a loaded gun to a child to play with, they dont use it good reasons. This is why they are dispised by mental health care workers.

Is it likely that a narcissist would be of the cerebral type in one relationship and somatic in another?

THE NARCISSIST CEREBRAL/SOMATIC AND THE OPPOSITE SEX This chapter deals with the male narcissist and with his "relationships" with women. It would be correct to substitute one gender for another. Female narcissists treat the men in their lives in a manner indistinguishable from the way male narcissists treat "their" women. I believe that this is the case with same sex partners. To re-iterate, Primary Narcissistic Supply (PNS) is any kind of NS provided by people who are not "meaningful" or "significant" others. Adulation, attention, affirmation, fame, notoriety, sexual conquests

Would a narcissist say that they arent deserving of love?

Recent, very surprising, research shows that narcissists sometimes are ego dystonic. Mostly they don't care about it, they consider it part of their uniqueness. But many narcissists do develop permanent "ego-dystony" (in human-speak: they constantly feel bad about themselves and their behaviour). When in such a mood of self-doubt, the narcissist is likely to utter things like "you deserve better" and "I can never please anyone". But these proclamations are meant to TEST the narcissist's closest, nearest, or dearest. Will they abandon/humiliate/betray him once they discover his true face?

Is there a difference between straight and gay narcissists?

Narcissism knows no sexual orientation. Now, there are two main types of narcissists, and they tend to fall mostly along gender lines. There likely isn't any research to see whether gay men are more likely than heterosexual men to be "somatic-narcissists" as opposed to "cerebral-narcissists," though there are likely to be both types among gay men and lesbians, as well as transgender. So while orientation might influence the type of narcissist somewhat, particularly if there is some gender variance, there doesn't seem to be any evidence that any orientation is more or less likely to be some type of narcissist. Somewhere along the line, someone at WikiAnswers has turned "narcissism", a personality trait of extreme selfishness into a description of a Machiavellian personality. While Machiavellians are usually narcissists, not all narcissists are Machiavellian. Narcissistic personality disorder is a term used by mental health professionals to group together a variety of dysfunctional personality traits that can vary in severity. Someone can be a narcissist and simply be so selfish and inconsiderate that it is difficult for them to build meaningful relationships. For example, all four of the main characters in the television show "Seinfeld" could be considered narcissists. Of that cast, only the character George truly displays Machiavellian characteristics while the other characters are merely narcissistic. You should be wary when looking for psychiatric data on the internet. Sometimes a little information from a therapist makes patients feel that they are experts in their disease and in psychology as a whole. Overstating a condition or attributing to it all of their personal symptoms is a good indicator of this.

Are narcissists more likely to sexually abuse children their care?

Yes they are.

Is it common for Narcissists to have a mask like facial expression and not laugh complain and insult people?

Narcissists come in different personalities, but, all retain one thing in common ... control over their mate and those around them, argumentative and they are ALWAYS right. Narcissists are often extremely intelligent, but haven't the wisdom to use this intelligence in a good way and use it to destroy and play games with people's emotions. Life is a game to them. They often give off the air they are more intelligent than anyone around them (in a group) and thus the mask-like facial expression. Even some people that aren't Narcissists will put on the "mask face" to give others the impression they are deep and wise thinkers and highly intelligent. Narcissists don't have the same sense of humor as others and if someone tells a joke the Narcissist will ridicule or scoff at the joke, but in a few days or a week will tell the same joke (as if it was their own secret joke) and expect everyone to laugh at it. Those that don't are black-listed! Because Narcissists feel they are "God-like" and possess high intelligence they are arrogant and will often insult other people they feel don't stand up to their own validations of intelligence. To argue with or patronize a Narcissist is a waste of time! When I come across such people and they talk to me I'm polite, listen, seldom comment unless they ask for my opinion and if they want to argue with me I just excuse myself and walk away! I refuse to play THEIR game! So should you! == == Is is it asking if narcissists typically don't laugh, complain, or insult people? Most narcissists do laugh, complain, and insult people, even if only subtly. You shouldn't judge a person to be a narcissist based on his facial expression. Its true in some cases and not in others; unreliable. You judge a person to be a narcissist based on his or her treatment of other people and how the person acts. Narcissists frequently demean others. You will never hear words of encouragement or compliments about your abilities from a narcissist, unless the narcissist is patronizing you (back-handed compliment). Narcissists do not verbally acknowledge others with talents or gifts unless they are threatened by them. In that case the person becomes a target and is more likely to be verbally attacked or slandered by the narcissist. Being proud of one's achievements doesn't make one a narcissist; repeatedly pointing them out in order to seek affirmed does. Narcissists constantly need to be told how great they are; that is the only purpose other human beings serve to them. In the presence of a narcissist you will quickly be made aware of facts you did not ask to hear about, such as the advanced courses the person has taken and the person's standing with Mensa. Refusing to admit an error when a person does not believe he or she has made one does not make a person a narcissist; distorting the issue and belligerently arguing the point in order to always appear correct does. A narcissist will NEVER truly admit to being wrong and in the case where he or she is wrong, the narcissist will adopt the position that he or she had the correct position all the time and you only misunderstood. If a person you believe is a narcissist has a habit of sincerely complimenting the achievements of others, tries to actually help other people succeed and improve, admits that he or she has made an error on occasion, and does not often point out his or her own achievements, then you aren't dealing with a narcissist. Even if that person seems abrasive or rude, you aren't dealing with a narcissist. Food for thought (this is not directed to either authors above): If you have never considered the possibility that you might be a narcissist.... If you feel that a person who tries to explain ideas to you that you do not agree with is trying undermine your credibility..... ....and if you feel that every intelligent person who does not admit that you are correct when that person does not believe that you are correct is a narcissist, ...you actually might be the narcissist. I totally agree with the comments of the above poster as a warning to the person asking the question. I answered the question as if the person was a narcissist as asked by the person asking the question. As the above poster pointed out facial expressions can mean many things. Personally I don't believe in arm chair psychology and I am beginning to detest the term 'narcissist' so readily used. Unless a professional has diagnosed his/her patient as such then a layman has no right to label another person (who may simply be a perfectionist to arrogant) as a narcissist. I might add that humans (no matter who) have a titch of it in their personality.
