I can do this all myself. Just sit back and relax.

Five (or more) of the following criteria must be met:

 

Feels grandiose and self-important (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents to the point of lying, demands to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)

 

Is obsessed with fantasies of unlimited success, fame, fearsome power or omnipotence, unequalled brilliance (the cerebral narcissist), bodily beauty or sexual performance (the somatic narcissist), or ideal, everlasting, all-conquering love or passion

 

Firmly convinced that he or she is unique and, being special, can only be understood by, should only be treated by, or associate with, other special or unique, or high-status people (or institutions)

 

Requires excessive admiration, adulation, attention and affirmation - or, failing that, wishes to be feared and to be notorious (narcissistic supply)

 

Feels entitled. Expects unreasonable or special and favorable priority treatment. Demands automatic and full compliance with his or her expectations

 

Is "interpersonally exploitative", i.e., uses others to achieve his or her own ends

 

Devoid of empathy. Is unable or unwilling to identify with or acknowledge the feelings and needs of others

 

Constantly envious of others or believes that they feel the same about him or her

 

Arrogant, haughty behaviours or attitudes coupled with rage when frustrated, contradicted, or confronted

[olyclimber]

Never disagree with the narcissist or contradict him

 

Never offer him any intimacy

 

Look awed by whatever attribute matters to him (for instance: by his professional achievements or by his good looks, or by his success with women and so on)

 

Never remind him of life out there and if you do, connect it somehow to his sense of grandiosity

 

Do not make any comment, which might directly or indirectly impinge on his self-image, omnipotence, judgment, omniscience, skills, capabilities, professional record, or even omnipresence. Bad sentences start with: "I think you overlooked ... made a mistake here ... you don't know ... do you know ... you were not here yesterday so ... you cannot ... you should ... (perceived as rude imposition, narcissists react very badly to restrictions placed on their freedom) ... I (never mention the fact that you are a separate, independent entity, narcissists regard others as extensions of their selves, their internalization processes were screwed up and they did not differentiate properly) ..." You get the gist of it.

You're right. 100%.

[olyclimber]

rejection is one thing....

[archenemy]

Yup. No doubt.

[olyclimber]

I won't let common sense chain me down or restrict my freedom.

[Squid]

Wow! That's brilliant!

 

May I cling to your coat-tails?

[olyclimber]

welcome

[olyclimber]

Yes...the Rasputniks.

Fluff like this should be illegal. It is misuse of the Internet, just like spam is.
