Narcissists love their sources of narcissistic supply the way you may love your computer or some other useful gadget. They care for their sources of narcissistic supply the way you take care of your car and maintain it.
If you look up the meaning of a narcissist this is what it says: excessive and erratic interest in oneself. Be careful using this label on a person though, because some people are shy, or they have lived in an environment of control and they want their own control, etc.If this person really is narcissistic, I do believe they care about others, but they always need to be in control and they have great inner strength. You've got a tiger by the tail!
If you do not like this quality in a person it's best to move on. Generally people with this attitude are extremely bright, and in many cases they are loners. They can also become bored very easily.
That might be true (regarding previous posting), but when a persons behavior affects another person then there is a problem. We are talking about narcissist, self-centered users. These people are manipulating liars, verbal abusers, sometimes physical abusers, some are sociopaths. Yes shyness might lure a victim in but their ultimate goal is to selfishly use this person for their supply. To answer the question, yes a narcissist can have no feelings for their long-term partner. They are only interested in themself.
They blame you. You weren't good enough or special enough.It was all your fault that he or she took their clothes off and had sex with someone else. They may also make comments such as " no one else will want you or put up with you" if you dare to complain about their unacceptable treatment. The reality is they will cheat again so don't let them erode your self esteem. That's what they want.
Narcissists can have varying attitudes towards sex, but some may prioritize their own desires and find it difficult to truly connect with a partner. They may seek sexual relationships for validation or control rather than genuine intimacy. Ultimately, it depends on the individual narcissist and their motivations.
It's not healthy for a partner to disrespect you in front of others. It may be a sign of insecurity, lack of respect, or unhealthy relationship dynamics. It's important to communicate your feelings to your partner and seek support if needed.
Your partner expressing "we need to talk" may prompt cognitive interpretations such as anticipation, concern, or a need for open communication. It may lead to thoughts about potential issues to address or feelings of readiness to engage in a serious conversation.
I thought I answered this before but I don't think it posted. You can't sue a narcissist unless the lies caused you to lose money or property and you can prove it. Exceptions would be suits involving divorce or custody. Its nearly impossible to sue for mental anguish anymore. ~ T Hi, If physical abuse was involved in your relationship, then you can report him to the appropriate authorities or Police. But apart from that, I'm not sure what else you can do. Hopefully someone else may be able to help you a lot more than I can. Good luck. It is often quite impossible to prove what happened and what a partner said in the privacy of your own home.
He might, but it wouldn't be because of his narcisism. The true narcissist cares about his partner's feelings only to the extent that they reflect on him. The old joke is apt. "But enough about me. Let's talk about you. What do you think of me?"
Yes, sometimes a narcissist will contact their ex after a break up because the narcissist cannot imagine their ex with anyone else as the narcissist has a complex of being the greatest at everything including relationships and is ego maniacal.
To make the partner feel worthless
A narcissist often gets away with demeaning treatment by manipulating their partner's emotions and self-esteem, making them doubt their own worth and perceptions. They may employ tactics like gaslighting, where they distort reality to confuse their partner, and love-bombing, where they initially shower them with affection to create dependency. Additionally, the narcissist may isolate their partner from supportive relationships, further entrenching their control and diminishing the partner's ability to recognize the abuse. This dynamic allows the narcissist to maintain power and evade accountability for their actions.
Absolutely nothing different from a partner who is circumcised.
No, absolutely not.
No. A narcissist cannot change. Narcissism is an untreatable personality disorder. It is unrealistic to believe a narcissist can change any behavior. In the world of the narcissist, he or she is center, remorseless, and sees no reason to change. He may manipulate his chosen one into believing he will change as manipulation and omnipotence are core to his insatiable need to control and keep his partner. Losing is not an option for the narcissist. Because of his inability to feel remorse, the narcissist acts out normal responses based purely on observation of others. He may say he will stop drinking to keep the relationship of abuse and chaos intact. Indeed, he cannot perceive a reason not to do exactly as he chooses to do. The narcissist lacks the ability to be accountable to any person or promise. He has no sense of remorse, no need or feelings for others exept to objectify
There are technical differences, but it is largely a matter of degree. Neither is likely to ever be a decent partner.
I suppose. Absolutely
It is what they do. Why do flies fly? That is what you would expect them to do. They are very self centered. That is why you don't get involved with people like that.
as in "throw pies at her"? It's not the favoured method of humiliating people in real life but I suppose it could happen.
I had confidence in my partner, who was absolutely scrupulous in his business dealings.
