Charm to get you to think that he's one of a kind and too good to be true (which he turns out to be).
Lies, lies and more lies.
because she might like you
Definately! He was in danger lof losing his supply so he kicked it up a notch! Yes they always increase the voltages if they see you getting stronger.
Please let me apologize in advance for my sarcasm, but I wish this were always the case! If all the narcissists paired up, then they would leave all us normal folks alone... Seriously, I did read somewhere (in Sam Vaknin's site?) that there are two particular "types" of narcissists may do well for a time...Was it an inverted narcissist he was refering to? I don't quite remember.(Google: "inverted narcissist maybe?) I also read that there are folks out there that actually like being in a relationship with a narcissist!
Pretty much - they need a worshipper & a scapegoat. Pathetic how they can't be alone so STAY AWAY from them!
no. a sadist would want to hurt you. a narcissist would want to be hurt.
Why would you WANT to go back? Narcissists will make up stuff to blame you with just to get out of the relationship. They NEVER take responsibility. Do NOT go back. Institute NO CONTACT and run!
No. Two narcissists would not get along in a long term relationship since a narcissist needs to be the smartest and greatest thing going and superior to everyone else. In order to have a "long term relationship" with a narcissist you need to have the personality traits that compliment the narcissist. Your purpose in the narcissist's life would be to supply what they need. That means you need to have the following personality traits:easy to be taken advantage ofinsecure with a poor self imagea poor understanding of realitywilling to constantly feed the narcissist's ego even though your praise would be dishonestwilling to place your own needs aside and concentrate on fulfilling the needs of your narcissistwilling to be treated with disrespect and verbally abused if you have an opinion, give advice when not asked to, or disagreenever, ever criticizewilling to pick up the pieces when they fail and never mention itwilling to join in the delusional, self grandiose world inhabited by your narcissistwilling to ignore public flirting with strangers in your presence, attention getting behavior in public and rudeness in their treatment of you and othersyou need to have a thick skin
You should do some serious self analysis to determine why you would try to have an intimate relationship with a person you have described as a narcissist. Hopefully you will eventually decide that you are wasting your time and should move on with your life and find a mate who is capable of caring for and about you as much as you do about him.
Probably not, they would fight over mirror time. ;)
If you have moved on from your past relationship from a narcissist it is no one else's business and there is no need to explain to anyone. If asked tell them to go onto the Internet and learn about it. What you went through in the past is painful and in order to move on all you need to do is be sure you have gotten good counseling and move on. There is life after living with a narcissist!
She wouldn't. That is not a reaction that a narcissist would have.
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.
