Why would the narcissistic ex play tricks and mind games and refuse to talk about it when confronted?

If an ex is truly narcissistic (clinically diagnosed), that kind of personality disorder will not own up to their actions. The person feels no need to change, or to talk about how behaviors affect you.


Is it possible for someone to exhibit a majority of the symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder yet not have the condition?

Since narcissistic personality disorder is diagnosed symptomatically, a person with that disorder would exhibit a number of the symptoms. Given the nature of the symptoms, a person showing a majority of them would almost certainly be diagnosed. Note: Diagnosis of emotional issues in people close to us is fraught with chances for misinterpretation. We are too emotionally involved ourselves to make careful, objective assessments. Only a series of interviews with a mental health professional would result in an truly accurate diagnosis. (That is not to say that you are incorrect.)

There are many disorders (Here are some I can name): Anorexia- Where the person starves themselves. Bulimia- Consuming large amounts of food and throwing it up. Binge eating disorder- Eating a lot without throwing up.

How do you get out of a relationship with a man who has Narcissistic Personality Disorder when he has humiliating incriminating video and pictures of you which he would use to harm you if you left?

Try and retrieve the incriminating video and pictures before getting out of the relationship. If that is out of the question then you are S.O.L.

How early can a person be diagnosed with narcissism?

NPD cannot be diagnosed with any certainty prior to early adolescence (13-14). Narcissistic traits, a narcissistic style, and even a narcissistic personality can be evident earlier in life, though. Many old school shrinks hesitate to diagnose anyone with anything until they are 18 as that is when the personality is fully developed. Some wait until 21. If some one seems to have a disorder they like to say showing NPD characteristics. I believe that although the personality is not fully developed until 21, that is all the more reason to seek treatment for an adolescent that is showing narcissistic traits (or any disorder)


What would be concomitant disorders of antisocial personality disorder?

Is it dangerous to live with someone with a narcissistic personality disorder?

Yes - My mother has this disorder - they hide this abusive behaviour very well - but believe me - it is so destructive - I would never knowingly choose to live with a narcissistic person - all they care for is themselves - this you would not know at first - they will try to destroy your life and have complete control over you, and abuse your children or loved ones - even pets. They constantly play with your emotions play people off against one another - they are compulsive liars - Its is a living nightmare!!


Are metro sexual narcissist?

Narcissistic personality disorder is a specific psychological diagnosis with specific criteria. Neither "metrosexual" nor "narcissist" have any meaning in terms of psychological diagnoses. They are both slang terms, and we have no way of evaluating them or how they would apply to each other.
