They do to a degree. In actuality, narcissists have very little, if any, genuine self-knowledge and spend an enormous amount of emotional energy on creating the perfect image behind which to hide. It's a lot of work to live in complete denial of reality and they expect adulation for it.

AnswerFrom my own experience in dealing with my N-sister, I have come to theorize that the first person she lies to is herself.Imagine a group of facts going through Creative in the marketing department of a business. Once the final product is in the form of a fairly plausible story, one which the author can even believe herself, she can then pitch it to others with conviction, and a sense of justification.
I really don't know with any certainty, but that's how I've made any sense out of it.
Some narcissists may personify their pets as an extension of themselves or to receive admiration and attention from others. They may also view their pets as objects that reflect their own status or image.
Narcissists may not fully realize or acknowledge how self-absorbed they are due to their inflated sense of self-importance and lack of empathy for others. They are often more focused on maintaining and feeding their own ego rather than reflecting on their behavior.
Well, narcissists love themselves, so it is hard to recognize anyone else's authority over them. They might have a problem (as most people do, actually) with anyone who uses their authority to make rules or decisions that they disagree with.
No, typically pathological liars are not not aware of the fact that they are lying constantly. And, often times they believe their own lies. However, we can't mix pathological liars with diagnosed disorder with a person who lies to protect himself/herself.
Yes, it it fairly common for a pathological liar try to make another person in their lie appear to be the pathological liar. A pathological liar does not like being caught in their lies and may try to set the stage for someone else to take the blame. Some pathological liars believe their own lies and may try to blame someone else for a false statement so that they can continue to believe their own lie.
Narcissists do believe their own lies and they have no conscience. They don't think about how others feel. Others will percieve them as evil while they feel they are perfectly normal.
Cos their men.
Sometimes. I would see if they would go to counseling. You bet they do! Don't hold your breath that counseling will help. Narcissists are notoriously resistant to therapy.
Just read the stories of numerous politicians, CEOs of companies, and other power brokers and you will come to your own conclusion.
It depends on the liar. Some people who weave multiple lies around themselves might get lost in the fantasy that they are real and convince themselves of them. This is more likely to be the case if the lies are to make themselves look better than they are or feel more important. It is less likely in the case of someone simply lying to get out of trouble. For instance if someone lies and says they were at work while they were really cheating on a spouse, its highly unlikely that they believe this lie. But if someone says they are well traveled when they have never left their town, they might, after telling multiple stories about their adventures, start to feel and believe them, themselves. One set of lies is purely selfish. The other is mainly based on low self esteem.
yes. in their own selfish way. they are always the victim.

Absolutely!! He can't hold a relationship to save his life. Typical scum bag rock star. Haha, this is what it says about Chad in the Urban Dictionary....A narcissistic pathological liar with sociopathic tendencies. Has a tendency to tell stories that are completely untrue to perpetuate lies about people he claims are his friends and lies about his own life to ellicit emotions, like sympathy and envy, from his friends. He is intelligent enough that it takes a while to catch on to his lies. Often, there is no point to his lies - he tells them just to tell them. That guy is such a Chad. I can't believe we didn't question his lies! So true...so true!
Vampire Legends and stories have been around for Thousands of years. Almost every country has their own 'vampire' myth.
beauty lies within means your own ersonality
Yes. Due to the malformation of the brain & brain chemistry in pathological people - they believe their own lies, even if it changes 5 minutes later.
