The Narcissist is thus likely to misjudge the qualities and abilities of a prospective spouse, the quality of his own work, or his status within his social circles.
Many Narcissists reject treatment even in the most dire circumstances.
They read, gather information, philosophize greatly. The Narcissist is a total person. His frame of reference is nothing less than posterity and the entirety of the human race. His uniqueness must be immediately and universally recognized. The Narcissist constantly resides in a threshold condition, Aut Nihil, Aut Ceasre, all or nothing.
