Absolutely - it's hard for the empathetic person not to respond to the notion of helping someone and right you are! My daughters' dad was extremely narcissistic (lots of us didn't know the 'big words' for a long time) He morphed into a full blown sociopath. (Not much of a difference with some) NO. You cannot "FIX" them - even trying can destroy your entire life. Again, in my humble opinion - it's most often a CHOICE. There are instances where a person is exposed to the narcissist's tactics, the emotional abuse etc and might not have used those 'tools of the trade' if not for a traumatic experience which they then turn to as a 'coping mechanism' however, there comes a point in time where that is no longer an excuse either. *Timshel*
Childhood traumas, a narcissist will not go and get help/counselling. As an empath it is 15 years I have been on my own after the marriage with the narcissist, 7 years counselling.
They look attractive because like Narcissus, they are always in front of the mirror or grooming themselves. They are also extremely interested in external appearances. I know a narc who hated his poor wife when she lost a lot of weight through cancer. He didn't even want to look at her!
I think a lot of the victim players really know how to play the game before you even meet them. They will dress a certain way to lure you in based on their interpretation of you from observation. Baiting is easy for them and preventative measures require you to think counterintuitive as a precaution knowing they have already spotted your weakness. Experience with them (narcissists) leaves you with hyper vigilance and strong determination to weed them out. It can be tricky because there are a lot of messed up people out there that were “trained” to be narcissistic by abuse or just association but fall short of narcissistic personality disorder thus acting as underbosses for an upper narcissist whether consciously or unconsciously?
They play the victim role with their entire life. It was exhausting to hear it
So relieved he's not my responsibility

Narcissists are scam artists, for sure!!

Everybody reveals themselves eventually. You can only fake it for so long.
It’s exhausting to hear these terms and not understand that sometimes people are victims and they compensate.

Narcissistic people never want to let go of a friendship that they have utterly ruined...and will do anything to drag them back to them .
You are right , they are amazing freaking artist… of burning theater…

Mine isn’t attractive. Bad teeth, overweight, big ears. Still fell for him harder than anyone. He did immediately dump his childhood trauma on me tho.
Oh yeah
They get out of a divorce because their partner abused and cheated on them.
It was the “victimhood” persona that hooked me, but she was 💯 evil!
I thought I was rescuing my narc
Anyone is appealing if you believe the smoke-n-mirrors as real and true.
Hopefully you can find someone.
