The
narcissist is an actor in a monodrama, yet he is forced to remain behind the
scenes.
The scenes
take centre stage, instead.
The
Narcissist does not cater at all to his own needs. Contrary to his reputation,
the Narcissist does not "love" himself in any true sense of this
loaded word.
The
narcissist feeds off other people who hurl back at him an image that he
projects to them. This is their sole function in his world : to reflect his
False Self, to admire him, to applaud his actions, even to detest and fear him
- in a word, to assure him that he exists by giving him constant attention.
Otherwise,
the narcissist feels that they have no right to tax his time, energy, or
emotions.
In the essay, I survey the main body of
research about Narcissism.
The Frequently Asked Questions deal with
various aspects of narcissistic (often abusive) behavior, traits, personality,
and style - and there is much more in the journal entries and in the
hundreds of excerpts from
the Narcissistic
Abuse Study List.
