	Interpersonal Self-Construction: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Not only did narcissists display greater day-to-day fluctuations in their self-esteem, the relation between daily self-esteem and the positivity or negativity of their social interactions was significantly stronger for narcissists than it was for less narcissistic individuals.
		Although threatened narcissists public evaluations of the target were somewhat less negative than their private evaluations, the public face-to-face feedback given by narcissists was significantly more negative than the feedback offered in any other public condition.
		The narcissistic self-enhancement bias (Critelli et al., 1994; John and Robins, 1994) and self-aggrandizing attributional style (Rhodewalt and Morf, 1995;1998) contribute to the lack of contingency between behavior and self-knowledge, between accomplishment and self-acclaim.

	But enough about you - Salon
		Narcissists are everywhere and, for the most part, they also seem to be triumphant.
		The trick of the narcissist is to repress self-doubt and self-loathing so deeply, to make them so appallingly painful to experience, that these emotions emerge only rarely and, even then, not forcefully enough to check the rampant egotism of the whole personality.
		Add this to the fact that narcissists, in constant need of affirmation, adapt their personalities to elicit the approval of those around them, and you've got less of a human being and more of an ego-machine incapable of producing genuine emotion.

	Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) : Traits discussed
		Narcissists' fantasies are static -- they've fallen in love with an image in a mirror or, more accurately, in a pool of water, so that movement causes the image to dissolve into ripples; to see the adored reflection they must remain perfectly still.
		Narcissists' fantasies are tableaux or scenes, stage sets; narcissists are hung up on a particular picture that they think reflects their true selves (as opposed to the real self -- warts and all).
		Narcissists often look, or think they look, significantly younger than they are; this youthful appearance is a point of pride to them, and some will emphasize it by either preserving the styles of their golden youth or following the styles of people the age they feel they "really" are.

	What Makes Narcissists Tick (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The fact that you want to help a narcissist -- to "save" him or her, as it were -- is a manifestation of your good nature and of your true love for the fictional character you thought was a real person.

		Narcissists are regularly engaged in frustrating all women sexually - and in frustrating significant women in their lives both sexually and emotionally.

	The Narcissists Mother (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Herein lies a paradox, which haunts the narcissist: he derives his sense of uniqueness from the very fact that he exists and he derives his sense of existence from his belief that he is unique.
		A narcissist is a narcissist is a narcissist even when he asks for help with his world and worldview shattered.
		The narcissist looks depressed, his movements slow down, his sleep patterns are disturbed (he either sleeps too much or becomes insomniac), his eating patterns change (he gorges on food or is unable even to look at it).

	EMOTION IN ORGANISATIONS: NARCISSISM v (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The extreme narcissist can be characterised as constraining his/her perceptions of the world to the domain of the inner world.
		In time, the subservient role-holders were able to rescue their ego-functioning and, on occasion, to get rid of the narcissistic leader, who then went on to another organisation with a substantial bonus and their pension-schemes not only intact but enhanced.
		But it is not so straightforward as this because the trap for the consultant in working with a narcissistic person is that the consultant is caused to fall in love with the image of him/herself and so is seduced from sphinx and social-istic issues.

	The Narcissist and His Family
		The narcissist has a dichotomous view of humanity: humans are either Sources of Narcissistic Supply (and, then, idealised and over-valued) or do not fulfil this function (and, therefore, are valueless, devalued).
		The narcissist reacts this way to the birth of his children or to the introduction of new foci of attention to the family cell (even to a new pet!).
		Whoever the narcissist perceives to be in competition for scarce Narcissistic Supply is relegated to the role of the enemy.

	A Paul Levy Article
		A malignant narcissist hasn’t developed a sense of their own authentic self, which is why they are unable to be in genuine relationship with others.
		Malignant narcissists are unconsciously possessed by the power-drive of the archetypal shadow.
		Malignant narcissists are what are called ‘necrophiles,’ in that their impulses are perversely directed against life, the spontaneity of which they are afraid of, and towards death and destruction, which they are secretly attracted to.

	Martha Beck: Self-esteem or Narcissim?
		If you have a boss, a roommate, or (heaven help you) a parent with full-blown narcissistic personality disorder, your attempts to develop healthy self-esteem will be severely challenged.
		The first way of dealing with narcissists is to behave as they want you to.
		Bluntly, assertively refusing to comply with their demands withers them, because in their warped emotional environment, one person in each twosome must always dominate, the other be dominated.

	Male Vs. Female Narcissists
		Many female narcissists secure their Narcissistic Supply through their more traditional gender roles: the home, children, suitable careers, their husbands ("the wife of..."), their feminine traits, their role in society, etc. It is no wonder than narcissists - both men and women - are chauvinistically conservative.
		Yet, the prime rule of narcissism must never be forgotten: the narcissist uses anything available to obtain his (or her) Narcissistic Supply.
		This means that the male narcissist is more likely to regard his children as a nuisance than as a source of rewarding Narcissist Supply - especially as they grow older and become autonomous.

	Sexual attitudes help explain narcissists' relationship problems
		The new study found that narcissists are more likely to philander and dump their partners than people who view closeness and commitment as the most important parts of a relationship, said Ilan Shrira, a UF visiting psychologist.
		The highly narcissistic were 50 percent more likely than the more humble to view the primary purpose of sexual intercourse as enhancing their own physical pleasure, rather than increasing emotional intimacy with their partner, he said.
		Narcissists often make a good first impression because of strong social skills that make them appear charming, and sometimes even empathetic, but this is usually only a ploy to attract attention, Shrira said.

	Columns:: Deceiving looks: Psychologists conclude that narcissists usually make miserable mates
		In general, true narcissists think very highly of themselves, are not very concerned with intimacy, and believe they are unique and smarter and more attractive than others.
		The defining feature of those with narcissistic tendencies, the study found, is what the researchers call “game-playing love.” In this approach, the narcissist is averse to depending on a partner, is deceptive and often cheats.
		In this way the narcissist can maintain power and autonomy at the expense of his or her partner.
