Of course you do not need to be intelligent to be a narcissist. If the indvidual is a narcissist, they will perceive themself as intelligent even if they are not. It is merely a question of ego. I disagree- it takes a certain level of intelligence to manipulate- but i wouldn't say that they are geniouses!
no. I've met a Narcissist name Karly who I argued with repeatedly and each final point in the argument was made by her against her because she was not smart enough to successfully play my mind games. I also met a narcissist allegedly named Sonia who was not smart enough to know that she can not be "12" "14" "15" and "almost 16" all at the same time yet she tried to tell people she was she also told me she was Australian and went through the trouble of giving me the correct time for Sydney Australia then turned around and said that she has lived in Europe her whole life. The truth is most narcissists I've encountered are not intelligent however some people would still say that they are intelligent. and that I am simply even more intelligent thus in my mind 1 out of the 3 narcissists that I know are intelligent, me being that 1
No, not at all!!
Not all abusers are narcissists, but all narcissists are abusive. Thats right. Some abusers are BPD. Some are sociopaths. But all abusers have a personality disorder. All are selfish (to a dangerous degree). All lack empathy (when it gets in the way of their selfish desires..and there are innumerous desires, they are never satisfied).
Narcissism & Sociopathy are on the same spectrum ALL Sociopaths are also Narcissists NOT all Narcissists are Sociopaths, though. The spectrum only runs one way.
Not at all
This is the correct spelling. Narcissists.
Narcissists can be male or female or attractive or unattractive. They act as if they are the best thing ever and the center of the universe whether they are attractive or not. A person could be physically attractive and realize it but not be a narcissist. After all, models know they are attractive. Let's assume they're not all narcissists. ~ T
No, not all narcissists are necessarily sex addicts. Narcissism is a personality trait characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a lack of empathy, and a constant need for admiration. On the other hand, sex addiction is a behavioral disorder characterized by an unhealthy and compulsive preoccupation with sexual thoughts, fantasies, and activities. While there might be some overlap between narcissism and sex addiction, they are distinct concepts. Some narcissists may engage in sexually compulsive behavior due to their desire for validation and attention, but it's not accurate to say that all narcissists are sex addicts or that all sex addicts are narcissists.
Narcissists who not adjusting adequately or appropriately to the environment or situation.
95% of the time. They have no conscience at all and do not play fair.
I don't think this kind of behavior is unique to narcissists.
they are not smart at all
Narcissists do NOT fear abandonment - they fear being without "supply" and not in total control.
