Re: Narcissistic men - anybody know one?

No, I don't know one.  Almost all men I know are very narcissistic.

@Puzzle Piece, I am answering the part I bolded in your post.  Yes, I do know a few pilots who are NOT.  Actually, my husband and I met through taking flying lessons and married at the local airport.  All of the pilots we met there were anything but; in fact, they were all very interesting to talk to.  I'm sure there are some, but certainly not all.


@HisElk1 I should have mentioned certain pilots.  I have known most all to be such.  Yes, they can be nice, but they have their egos.  Military pilots have to have a certain something to fly into combat and hostile areas.  Now I'll hear it from the military folks.

They hide in plain site. They seem to be everywhere.

 

Once you truly understand the behavior pattern of a narcissist, you can spot them really fast. The behavior pattern is much deeper than just being full of themselves, and arrogant.

 

The problem is, most can be charming, charismatic, and so kind. They are masters of luring people to them. Then the mask drops, and you find the true person.

 

B clusters disordered people can be a nightmare for those involved with one.

Easily recognizable, they are never in the wrong, someone else is always to blame, their own behavior is always good and right.  Additionally, they do not feel remorse.

 

I know one - can't disclose name here.


@Drythe

Re: Narcissistic men - anybody know one?

Most narcissists I have known have this image they must keep up.  It is more important to them than anything....including you!  If you confront them or even hint that they are in the wrong they will go on the attack in one manner or the other.  They lie, too.  I don't think you can lie to someone and have a good relationship.  I read somewhere once that "honesty is the bedrock foundation of a safe relationship."....I believe it. Narcissists are always on the defense and they will lie to get what they want.  I try to have as little interaction with them as I possibly can.
