Like the other person is an extension of them and their self-esteem. Very often the other person is just arm trophy or used as a pretence to the outside world that they are normal; when they are very not normal.

They have experienced hell on earth. At the very least they have experienced the worst mental and psychological torture of their lives. A narcissist is "typically" charming, charasmatic and highly manipulative? They have a silver tongue and they can con many from a distance. The world's perception of him/her is number 1. These "actors" are a grand illusion. They feed on sensitive, compassionate, and trusting prey.

Their victims become a never-ending feed of Narcissitic Supply! As long as you are an adoring fan and provide the admiration that they so righteously deserve, you are fairly safe! The minute that you act as if you have your own mind or have conflicting views, look out! I said "fairly safe" for a good reason. There is a slow progression of subliminal, underlying attacks that you will begin to endure from the narcissist regardless of what you do. These attacks are very purposeful and necessary for the narcassists. They belittle their prey continuously to reinforce their illusions of grandeur and to establish their dominating role in the relationship. They feel better about themselves when they put you down. The degredation may include attacks on the significant others physical appearance, career, childrearing abilities, domestic abilities and much more. Then they will buy you a gift or take you for a surprise dinner. Your emotions become a roller coaster. You begin to question your own sanity. Your Narcissist will often attempt to provoke you in front of others as a diliberate trigger to "strategically" cause an emotional reaction. This way they can look at you, in front of others, and say," honey you are losing it" or "see I told you he/she was crazy!" Empathy and compassion do not exist within a true Narcassist. However, they can "ACT" and appear to have these character traits in order to get what they want. The worst part of this experience is that often the Narcissist "appears" (perception is number 1) to be a great guy to the rest of the world!

The result: You have been deceived in every possible way by someone who has zero regret or remorse. Therefore, your trust has been ripped apart by the one person that you at one time believed loved you and would never hurt you. You question the genuiness of any and every person. You always second guess the motives and agendas of others from that point. There is no longer a trace of the abundant faith and trust in mankind that you once enjoyed. YOU HAVE BEEN BROKEN! Picking up the pieces and rebuilding the self esteem that you had before is not easy after a relationship with a Narcassist. It is a slow, one day at a time process. In short, stay away from anything that resembles an over-inflated ego, which requires continuous validation for their superiority, uniqueness, and overall greatness!

No wonder this question hasn't been answered - it's a paradox. First off, a narcissist is unlikely to be looking at a site dedicated to narcissistic abuse. Secondly, narcissists only 'love' themselves!! So look up the meaning of narcissistic abuse and you'll see the meaning of love to a narcissist.

I'd like to learn about the narcissist's desire for ideal love and also how he makes his partner feel and believe that he's the only one who understands her and that they are soul mates?

! I'm not an expert (so ask an expert, a psychiatrist, a psychotherapist, we can't make a diagnosis), but I know what you're talking about because of my experience and interest.A narcissist is someone with a Narcissistic Personality Disorder.At the beginning, he'll make you feel like you're the woman of his dreams, then you'll fall in love. He'll become distant and he will humiliate you , he will tell you that you are "needy" or something like that. A narcissist is afraid of intimacy. He'll make you suffer, he'll date other women.He'll make you feel insecure and you'll start to wonder what mistakes you have made.A narcissist wants you to meet his needs but he is not an empathetic individual and is uncapable of responding to your needs. He's never received love from his parents (childhood wounds) so when he receives love, he feels uneasy. A narcissist doesn't really know what love is because he hasn't had it when he was a child (the "love object" wasn't there when he needed it), so he figures out love ("ideal love", love is just another of his fantasies). The narcissist develops a false self (being just himself isn't enough to get some love).


Narcissist in love with a narcissist?

It's certainly possible. A narcissist may date another narcissist that is more selfish than they are to feel better about themselves. In turn say "i'm not as selfish as he/she is so that makes me above him/her). It's incredible and shocking the way people with this disorder think. It takes a lot of research to understand a narcissist.

Is loving yourself the same as narcissistic love?

Narcissist means that you are conceited beyond belief, you think you are god to everyone around you and constantly need your ego stroked; need some one following you around professing your love for them. A Narcissist does not love themselves at all, they need people and things to make them feel good about themselves. they can become very depressed and shut off everything and everyone if they don't feel like the star at work, home, people, possessions; Narcissist only have respect for people who tell them how they really are an a**hole, which normally means that they don't like that person or being around them. but secretly envy them for their confidence. Loving yourself means that you love yourself for who you are faults and all, and that you don't need things or people to validate you. It means that you can see someone happy and not want what they have; It means that you are comfortable with you physical, mental, spiritual being as a person/human being, woman/man. You have natural confidence when you love yourself. You would be a person to have a narcissist enemy (secretly), or a narcissist trying to figure out what makes you tick (they don't believe there is anything wrong with them, always someone else)
