Narcissist Friend:( Can A Narcissist Have Long Term Friendship) ? by Uwagood123(m): 8:05pm On Jan 01, 2023
Who Is A Narcissist?

A narcissist is someone who believes they’re more important than what they actually are. They frequently have a high opinion of themselves and demand that other people respect them while not clinging to any social morals themselves. A narcissist friend would be egotistical, self- centered, and given to inflating their own sense of worth.

What’s a friend? How do you know what makes someone your friend? Is it the way they act, how frequently they call or text you, or that they’re always there for you no matter what? A true friend will be all of these things.
But if one of those qualities is n’t present in a person, should he still be considered a good friend to have around? The answer isn’t as simple as “ yes ” or “ no. ” There are numerous ways to measure friendship and some people might not behavior like friends at all but still be very loyal.
So how can we tell when someone has become our true and trusted confidant and best friends ever after all – with whom we want to spend time even when we ’re not obliged? And how do we deal with those friends who are a little too close to the narcissistic side of things for our comfort?

Signs of a narcissistic friends

1* They Put Their Own requirements First


Because narcissist view themselves as “ above ” or better than others, they tend to be preoccupied with their own satisfaction and lack empathy for their friends ’ needs. for instance, If you have plans to meet a narcissistic friend for lunch, they may run late, not apologize, and say they do not understand why you ’re so irritated.

2* They Blame you for their faults

Anything that goes wrong with them is criticized on you because they think they can never go wrong. They’ve grandiose ideas of being perfect and redirect blame to maintain their facade of perfection. They also need a scapegoat to push the blame on and generally choose the one
who’s the most emotionally attached and loyal to them. For instance, at a movie theater, they might blame you for not picking better seats but won’t mention that their late appearance was the reason why you couldn’t get to the theater sooner.

3* They Are n’t There For You When You

Narcissist struggle to identify others ’ needs, understand their feelings, and offer confirmation unless doing so is perceived as applicable or salutary to them personally. In a fellowship, this may look like avoiding emotional exchanges, not showing up when you ’re going through a hard time, or bad- mouthing you because you ’re struggling.

4* They exhibit entitled behavior

For a narcissist, the entire world revolves around them. So, if they do something for you, they anticipate you to show gratefulness by doing something in return, and if you do n’t, they get angry about it. For instance, if they accompany you to someplace, they will expect you to be at their beck and call because they took the effort to be there for you. They want to be the sole object of their attention and admiration. Click to continue reading https://uwagood.com/2022/09/01/narcissist-in-love-can-a-narcissist-truly-lover-they-partner/
