A narcissist is someone who has an inflated sense of self-importance and a need for attention and admiration. They may be very charming and charismatic, but they also tend to be manipulative and abusive.
Poor impulse control is a common trait among narcissists. This can manifest as a tendency to act on whims or desires without considering the potential consequences. In the context of a relationship, this may lead to infidelity if the narcissist is attracted to someone else.
While both male and female narcissists exhibit similar traits like a sense of entitlement, lack of empathy and need for admiration, there can be differences. Female narcissists, for instance, might use their relationships with other women to bolster their self-esteem or manipulate for personal gain. Male narcissists, on the other hand, may be more prone to showcase their narcissism through their professional achievements or financial success.
Communicating with a narcissistic woman can be challenging due to their inflated sense of self-importance and tendency to feel superior. It's important to maintain your personal space and set clear boundaries. Avoid getting drawn into their manipulative tactics or abusive behavior, such as the silent treatment or belittling comments that make you feel inferior. Instead, focus on expressing your thoughts and feelings clearly and assertively.
While it's possible for a narcissist to feel remorse, it's not typically associated with their behavior. Due to their inflated sense of self and lack of empathy, narcissists may not feel guilty after cheating. Instead, they might use manipulation tactics, or other forms of narcissistic abuse, to justify their actions or shift the blame onto others.
Narcissistic supply refers to the attention and admiration that narcissists crave. If a narcissist is ignoring you, it could mean they're not getting their desired narcissistic supply from you, so they resort to emotional abuse like completely ignoring to manipulate you into giving them more attention.
