They have minds like steel traps, but they don't communicate well because they don't care about the other person's opinions or feelings and it's all about them. They put themselves on such a high level (in their own minds) that they feel only their opinions count. They are incapable of giving an opinion, listening to someone else's opinion and meshing the two together to come out with a better resolve to any problem. Marcy A narcissist is very good at superficial communication in that the 'false self' continually boosts itself. This can result in very amusing, and entertaining conversation with the narcissist enjoying 'playing' with the other person until he gets the response he wants. If the person involved in communicating demands true feelings or emotions, then conversation from the narcissist abruptly stops. Another aspect is the power that a narcissist can project through unconcious communication. They are very adept at manipulating the other person's emotions and subconciously this too can become a game for the narcissist with the aim being to elicit emotion from the other person. As long as this does not go too far and both parties are happy with this type of communication, I feel that it is not a problem. The problem often is that the narcissist does not know when to stop and the other person is 'sucked dry' before they realise what is happening.

Can the narcissist ever become himself and he is a narcissist and so is his mother he seems to look to her for acceptance can he change if she accepts him?

I don't think so. How can change occur in narcissist whose mother is a narcissist as well, even if she accepts him? The very sickness comes from that lack of emotional support given by the mother at the most crucial time, birth. My mother in law has damaged my husband so much that because he is a product of his environment, he had dished out his madness upon me and his children. Sadly, I am the one who had the mental breakdown and has suffered so much. Is there really help for a narcissist?
