This is one of the manifestations of narcissistic false modesty: http://www.narcissistic-abuse.com/faq36.html
Yes, it is possible for a narcissist to react that way when told they are beautiful, as they may feel entitled to compliments and seek validation in different forms. Their response may reflect a lack of genuine appreciation for others' opinions or feelings.
Yes, but only if he got something out of it.
It is unlikely for an overly intelligent narcissist or borderline NP to admit to being somewhat narcissistic willingly. These individuals tend to have difficulty acknowledging their flaws or shortcomings as it conflicts with their self-image and ego. However, with therapy and self-awareness, it is possible for them to recognize and address their narcissistic traits.
Separating a narcissist from their willing victim can be challenging due to the manipulative tactics employed by the narcissist. It may require the victim to recognize the patterns of manipulation and seek support from a therapist or counselor to create boundaries and develop a safety plan. Encouraging the victim to prioritize self-care and surround themselves with a supportive network can also help in breaking free from the narcissist.
No, feeling horrified upon realizing one is a narcissist does not necessarily contradict the diagnosis, as narcissists can experience moments of self-awareness and regret. It could indicate a level of insight and understanding of one's behavior, but addressing these feelings and seeking professional help would be beneficial in addressing narcissistic traits.
I would choose knowledge because it has the power to unlock new possibilities, deepen understanding, and drive personal growth. While beauty can bring aesthetic pleasure, knowledge empowers individuals to make informed decisions and create meaningful contributions to the world.
no. a sadist would want to hurt you. a narcissist would want to be hurt.
Probably not, they would fight over mirror time. ;)
She wouldn't. That is not a reaction that a narcissist would have.
Why would ANYONE want to be with a narcissist? A codependent would be about the only type of personality that could tolerate being with a narcissist, and they will pay a terrible price. Dump the narcissist and get some help with the codependency. ACOA, CODA, Al-anon and Nar-anon are as close as your telephone.
You would call a person who praises himself a lot a narcissist.
OF COURSE! Mines is doing that now. They'd do anything to make themselves look like the saint. That is classic narcissist behavior. You have to be pretty careful in knowing who your friends are and who the narcissist has gotten to. I hate to say it but in order to figure out what the narcissist is up to, you have to think like a narcissist. Of course that makes you look bad, like you ARE a narcissist (you've probably picked up some narcissist behaviors being around one anyway) so BE CAREFUL. My narcissist called this game "Ex Caliber" after King Arthur's sword. He said people who were pure and of good intentions could slip past his defenses. Translation: You better make yourself look better than the narcissist and dodge the mud he's flinging if you want to keep your friends!
A narcissist cannot show appreciation. A narcissist is a person who looks at themselves as higher than others, or believing they can do any task better than others, so for a narcissist to show appreciation would be very odd.
why not?

Well, I would stay away from a narcissist altogether. However, if you want something from them, the only way is to appear extremely weak and helpless to them, and flatter them like hell. You pretty much have to humiliate yourself to get anything out of them. That's why its best to just stay away.
His cellphone ! they would never be without a mirror!!!!!!!!!
