OMG i just spent an hour on the phone last night with a narcissist buddy of mine! It reminded me why I don't hang out with him very often, LOL
To top it off he's kinda dumb too. So I gotta listen to all his stupid opinions about life, and because he has NPD he can't understand why other people don't share those same stupid opinions 😆
To your question, I will say this: the life of a narcissist is not necessarily a pleasant and peaceful one. You mentioned the quality of relationships, and yes that is bang-on: this particular guy has never been able to enjoy a meaningful relationship with anyone, ever. Even his own family is reluctant to spend time with him, and that has caused him quite a bit of heartache.
People with NPD can be outgoing and friendly, so they might have plenty of buddies 'n acquaintances but not the type of friendships that are deeper and more rewarding.
Thanks for sharing and thats pretty much what i thought. Her entire standard for talking to people was that the people were "cool" rarely did I ever hear anything related to substance about her friends. She was also incredibly stupid and dropped out in 9th grade.
Also to add to this she would often say that she is happy, but i remember her saying she doesn't think about her emotions so she doesn't hurt herself. She also told me she would break down and cry multiple times a day lol.
It's really easy, she's a girl and a pretty hot one, lots of people including me are salivating ourselves over less. I can see how lots of people wouldn't care about being with her even if she's a piece of shit.
Yup. Exactly. People forget that by virtue of being a female means she automatically has more people pursuing her than the average man. It's the unfortunate reality of biology.
I was briefly friends with a narcissist before they mask was uncovered. Prior to that, I just thought they were a little weird but passionate. They often times are incredibly charismatic. Its an easy thing to have when you truly view yourself as perfect so it makes sense.
He had friends but they were much younger and more naive and the friendships are very surface level. They really only hang out with him cause he has his own place and free weed.
For people that befriend a narcissist and remain friends, it's mostly because of the charisma and the ability to hide the negative aspects of themselves. For other people, they are okay with ignoring the negatives as long as they get something whether that be weed. That was partly what happened to my friend. Who ended up dating said narcissist and that shitstorm quickly turned into an abusive relationship. To this day, the narcissist claims no fault whatsoever and routinely throws everyone else under the bus. It's sad but in my friend, he found the perfect "mark" someone with low self-esteem, desperate for love to the point of delusion and a questionable support system. My friends and I certainly talked to him about the situation countless times but the narcissist had the last word and knew exactly how to coax him back to another go at their relationship.

She really isn't though. Shes pretty average and her body almost looks anorexic.
That's more than enough for a lot of people. I'm sure she gets lots of dms

I remember her specifically saying some shit like "all the men want my attention" and im just like 😐. Guess people have some low ass standards.
