Faking it and boy do we have our work cut out for ourselves
EXCERPTs:
1) The False Self is misrepresented by the narcissist as his True Self. The narcissist is saying, in effect: "I am not who you think I am. I am someone else. I am this (False) Self. Therefore, I deserve a better, painless, more considerate treatment." The False Self, thus, is a contraption intended to alter other people's behaviour and attitude towards the narcissist.
These roles are crucial to survival and to the proper psychological functioning of the narcissist. The False Self is by far more important to the narcissist than his dilapidated, dysfunctional, True Self.
2) Let's start by referring to an oft-occurring question:
Why are narcissists not prone to suicide?
The simple answer is that they died a long time ago. Narcissists are the true zombies of the world.
3) Emulation
The narcissist is possessed of an uncanny ability to psychologically penetrate others. Often, this gift is abused and put at the service of the narcissist's control freakery and sadism. The narcissist uses it liberally to annihilate the natural defences of his victims by faking empathy.
This capacity is coupled with the narcissist's eerie ability to imitate emotions and their attendant behaviours (affect). The narcissist possesses "emotional resonance tables". He keeps records of every action and reaction, every utterance and consequence, every datum provided by others regarding their state of mind and emotional make-up. From these, he then constructs a set of formulas, which often result in impeccably accurate renditions of emotional behaviour. This can be enormously deceiving.

Magical Thinking
Arrogance
Envy
Entitlement
Exploitation
Bad Boundaries
Social Narcissism
EXCERPT:
Social narcissism represents the dark side of intelligence and communication skills. As humans become more intelligent, as we improve our ability to communicate with others, our prospect for understanding reality increases, but our prospect for massive self-deception increases to the same degree.
We live in a time of great opportunity — we've built an intellectual framework suitable for exploring reality (science), we have the time and resources needed to support the investigation, but we're being held hostage by narcissism and narcissists, who seem inevitably to occupy society's positions of religious, legal and political power. The greatest fear these people have — what I call the "narcissistic panic" — is that science will discredit all conventional sources of authority, requiring everyone to think and choose, as individuals, based on imperfect information. This terrifying prospect is the motivating force behind most anti-scientific and anti-rational activism.
The narcissistic world view is that there is an overarching, transcendental authority that controls the universe, and the purpose of earthly existence is to ally oneself with this authority in order to achieve a position beyond error or reproach. This world view represents a retreat from intellectual freedom, a willing regression to the status of herd animals, of drones. One problem with the retreat is that someone will take charge of the sheep. Another problem is that the authority, the key to the entire system, doesn't exist.
Therefore it seems that narcissistic panic and retreat from freedom inevitably lead to the rise of tyrants. Each of history's tyrants is only one term in an equation that requires other terms — like ignorance, wishful thinking, irresponsibility, and mental laziness.
Human beings are very fragile
EXCERPT:
Once victimised, the narcissist swore "no more". He will do the victimizing now. And as a decoy, he presents to the world his False Self. But he falls prey to his own devices. Internally impoverished and undernourished, isolated and cushioned to the point of suffocation – the True Ego degenerates and decays. The narcissist wakes up one day to find that he is at the mercy of his False Self as much as his victims are.
What if your best friend is a narcissist
EXCERPT:
Narcissists are actors and actresses putting on a show.
Can a narcissist ever be a true friend
EXCERPT:
•It depends if someone has traits or fully blown NPD. Generally speaking, no I don't think they can. Friendship is based on trust, how can you trust someone who is only friends with you because of what they can gain from you?
Narcissism and the anger it causes
EXCERPT:
Narcissism might be fun for a little while, but the fun definitely won't last. Somebody's going to get angry, either the narcissist or the people around them.
So, whether it's you or somebody else that is narcissistic, there's going to be some anger and irritation sooner or later.
This is where you're going to find out how to understand this problem and what to do about it.
