Sounds like you need to call your local law enforcement agency. ~ T
It is not advised to manipulate a narcissist in this manner. It is best to involve law enforcement or negotiators trained to handle hostage situations. Attempting to manipulate a narcissist could escalate the situation and put the hostage in more danger.
A narcissist can direct their rage towards multiple people, not just one. They may exhibit a pattern of blaming and attacking those they perceive to threaten their ego or sense of superiority. This behavior is often rooted in their need for admiration and control over others.
Manipulating a narcissist is not recommended as it can be harmful and have unintended consequences. It's important to set boundaries, communicate assertively, and seek support or guidance from a mental health professional if needed.
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.
It's important to encourage the inverted narcissist to set boundaries with the covert narcissist and seek support from a therapist who understands narcissistic dynamics. Building self-awareness and self-esteem can also help the inverted narcissist navigate and protect themselves from the covert narcissist's manipulation and toxicity. Ultimately, their well-being should be the priority.

Narcissists are tricky, and I've done a lot of research on this subject. Manipulating a narcissist isn't really that hard. You can smother the narcissist in compliments, you can intimidate them with something they fear, believe me it works.
Hostage holding is blackmail where mean, weak people threaten to hurt hostages in order to get something for releasing them unharmed. It is like kidnapping on a large scale. The Iranian hostage crisis was meant to humiliate the US government or force it into an open armed conflict (war) where they could unite the entire Islamic world behind them as leaders in a holy war.
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

So you feel sorry for them so you think he/she is so open and honest. To get your trust so you let down your barriers so they can find out your vunerabilities and then play on your vunerabilities as a way to manipulate and control you.
The narcissist creates the image that he/she wants the world to see. He/she can only do that when the truth isn't available to the audience. If the narcissist keeps his/her life hidden then 1) he/she can lie about that life and continue grandiose delusions, or 2) avoid taking responsibility because he/she can continue shift-blaming. Moreover, perhaps addiction is a factor. If your ex uses, then secrecy is part of that addict behavior. Whatever the cause, count it as a blessing that you don't have the details, and reciprocate. Any information that the narcissist has about you will be used to manipulate you. Being open and honest is fine... with sane people. Minimal contact if necessary, and no contact if possible.
A borderline. Essentially a more emotionally reactive narcissist.
Most likely they wouldn't want a relationship with you if they couldn't benefit from it whether casual or not. If they feel they can benefit and manipulate you out of something, then the game playing begins. Be aware, they will immediately manipulate ways to get whatever they want and then will disappear after receiving it. Again, narcissist cannot be casual in any setting, they have to be the winners or they want nothing at all. If you are living a decent lifestyle, especially better than theirs, they can not be spectators of another's happiness. If they can damage your happiness, then they would agree to the "casual" relationship. A narcissist always have a game plan. If you are naive in thinking you can have any type of relationship with these people, then you will post another painful question as so many others.
