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.
You can't. If a person is a true narcissist, you can't 'make' them behave otherwise. Narcissism can only be modified by a professional and then only if the narcissist is motivated to try.
Loyal, trustworthy, a true friend.
The antonym for the word narcissist is altruist. An altruist is someone who selflessly cares for the well-being of others, in contrast to a narcissist who is excessively self-involved.
Do narcissists ever let go of a victim? The answer yes and no. As long as the narc feels you have any intrest in them and you can be manipulated by them such as guilt tripping, feeling sorry for them, will allow them to conjole, or cause any emotions in you whether anger, sympathy, empathy or any attention they will not let go or write you off. Narcs are users period. As long as you are a source of supply for anything they will try and add you to their list of suppliers. The only way to be written off by a narc is if you are replaced with a better source of whatever they were using you for, such as money,sex, service to immediate family members, friends or someone they consider a trophy to enhanse their public image. When with a narc, you will feel like yard dog, taxi driver, money supplier, dildo with a heart beat, door Matt and for all you supply to them will be taken for granted. They are ingrates and feel entitled to all they can get and have no remorse or gratitude.
That depends on how close they are to you
There is no rule in these matters - so, no, it is not universally true. It depends on the narcissist in question.
talk to her tell her that i am sorry for what ever i did. If she says nothing back she is not a true friend.
Best guess, it can. There is no other way for a true narcissist to be aware of issues within him or herself.
Well of course. That's a how a narcissist valids himself.
You can become narcissistic afterwards, but you will not turn into a true narcissist. Stay away from him and go back to your family and hang around them for a while.
It is unlikely for a narcissist in the closet to openly admit to being gay, as they often struggle with vulnerability and fear rejection. They may continue to deny their true sexual orientation to maintain their façade of control and superiority.
A - How do you know they are narcissist? B - Why do you assume that the friend doesn't already know? C - Why do you think they might want to know? D - Is it any of your concern? If you can satisfactorily (and honestly) answer those questions then yes, tell the friend, otherwise leave the matter lie.
wait a little while and if they are your true friend they will come back to you...... i hope who ever reads this helps sincerly:jello-means-hello
no she sees me as a real true frnd
They need to satisfy their sense of control. For instance, if you "dare" have another friend (other then the narcissist) then, he will be a better friend then you are to that friend. All of it is to escalate self importance and minimize the value of your friendship. Narcissists hate authentic relationships (because they've never had one) but are very good at mimicking them for the purpose of pretense and control of one's (anyone's) emotions.
It's normal and it's the thing to do. By staying in touch with the friends of the narcissist it still links you to the narcissist. Move on and start a new future. What friends? A true narcissist has no real loyal friends. They are known as supply. Those friends who are true to you will "self select" and will make their choice when you break up. However, if they want to maintain contact with the "narcissist" then you need to set them free. It just creates chaos in your life.
