sorta they are very self-centered and manipulative and think only of themselves most of the time.
A narcissist is someone who has an excessive sense of self-importance, a deep need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. They often have an inflated sense of their own abilities and accomplishments, and may engage in manipulative or controlling behavior to maintain their self-image.
The question is ... why bother trying? People are held responsible for their own actions and I wouldn't touch this one with a 10 foot pole. Don't bother trying because you won't get through to either of them. Sorry Marcy

From what I've read; and I was surprised...A narcissistpossesses LOW self esteem vs HIGH self esteem. Prior to my research, I was under the impression that this personality was "In love with itself"; thus = high self esteem. Looking in the mirror...seemingly admiring oneself! Still not sure of correct answer. Psych Nurse
If one has narcissistic tendencies and characteristics then later in life when those are totally entrenched in one's character, even with self knowledge, my psychiatrist informs me that it is impossible to change them. She says that one has to learn strategies to deal with them. Surely, if one of the characteristics of a narcissist is to have a 'false self' then one is only creating a further 'false self' albeit with hindsight and awareness. Awareness of narcissistic characteristics is terrifying, and confusing, and I would question anyone that has not queried their own motives, or realised that they behave differently from others, at some point in their lives. Sometimes I feel that self knowledge is not always a good thing.

A self-centered person is an egotist. A person who admires his own appearance is a narcissist.
A benign narcissist is someone who achieves their self-serving goals in ways that don't damage other people. They don't typically try to use, exploit or control those around them for their own ends. A typical narcissist, however, works from the mindset of: "I win, and I don't care if you lose," or, "Your loss is my win." Everything with a typical narcissist is a zero sum game and they are impossible to have long term relationships with because they exploit the insecurities of others around them to feed their own egos.

Self-absorbed or self-centered.
A self-created environment would refer to a place that someone has created all on their own. This could be someone who has built their own home, and chooses to live off the grid.
A narcissist.
Because the narcissist always has to have someone to kick around. As long as you're available to kick around, he's happy to keep up some sort of relationship. As soon as you stand up on your own two feet,, he starts to look for someone else to kick.
Having someone tell you what to do is not an example of self-management. Self-management is when you can manage your own tasks and needs.

I think by nature all cats are narcissists. They are true to thine own self first before anything else. I think all cats are somewhat in love with themselves.
Whatever you provide that feeds their own needs.
