Are there teenage narcissists?
Yes and no. A teenager may exhibit traits of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, BUT a teenager's personality is still DEVELOPING. But just as there are teenage psychopaths who murder, there are teenage narcissists. Many teenagers exhibit narcissistic traits, but this can actually be a normal and healthy phase of growing up. After all, if they don't believe that they can be better, they might collapse into a "loser mentality." The difference shows when they start to enter adulthood. Normal teenagers who were narcissists (which are most of them) will get either bored with grandiosity or give up narcissism due to life constraints. Some others will have their narcissism evolve into an ambitious personality, which can still be a good trait. Unfortunately, a number of these teenagers (though relatively very few) will retain pathological narcissism and develop Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

No, there is no evidence or research to suggest that narcissists and sociopaths are mostly closeted gay people.

It is important to avoid making assumptions or generalizations about individuals based on their sexual orientation.

Are all narcissists sex addicts?
No, not all narcissists are necessarily sex addicts. Narcissism is a personality trait characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a lack of empathy, and a constant need for admiration. On the other hand, sex addiction is a behavioral disorder characterized by an unhealthy and compulsive preoccupation with sexual thoughts, fantasies, and activities. While there might be some overlap between narcissism and sex addiction, they are distinct concepts. Some narcissists may engage in sexually compulsive behavior due to their desire for validation and attention, but it's not accurate to say that all narcissists are sex addicts or that all sex addicts are narcissists.
