Based on Greek myth we would believe a narcissist is someone who thinks the world is a mirror that reflects only his or her image. However, down deep within the narcissist is self-loathing. These troublesome people, with an excessively inflated self image in public, seem to care only about themselves. They are selfishly manipulative in their relationships, somewhat shallow, and lack sincere care for others. They have a great sense of entitlement and expect special favorable treatment in line with their grandiose posture. Fighting an inner sense of insignificance, many narcissists try to make up for this with various grandiose roles.. In these character models they often try to cast themselves as rescuing others or saving the world.
Living with a narcissist can be very difficult. They are given to wide mood swings, intense anger, even violence. It's been said that a narcissist only loves themself, not others. Underneath, though, it's doubtful they even love themselves.
