Has anyone here ever dated, been romantically involved with, or known someone who they suspect to be a narcissist, who was NOT brought up in an abusive environment, but rather was spoiled rotten to the point where they came to believe they were "special"?
The narcissistic types I've attracted in the past definitely came from abusive backgrounds, not spoiled ones. Anyone known this type of entitled narcissist and how/why they came to believe that they were better than others?
I've never met a true narcissist, although i do know that it is fashionable label in common use these days However, I have met a number of people who had absolutely no insight about how their words actions affected other people. I never looked into their family backgrounds, nor was i ever successful in helping a few of them (work colleagues) to gain some insight regarding their own personalities.

From what I've experienced, this utter lack of insight and self-awareness is seriously on the rise today. It really is becoming a culture of narcissism, where people aggrandize themselves to a disturbing degree and start taking liberties that simply aren't theirs to take. Psychologically, they say narcissism forms when a child cannot (or feels they cannot) rely on "other" in any real, safe way. So, they do not develop any kind of attachment to "other" and instead direct all that energy towards themselves. People like this are "with" us, as in among us, but they do not share the same, connected reality that normal people do. They're in a world of their own, disconnected from feelings, morals, and truth.
Yep. I had a good friend in a relationship with a girl like this. I don't know if it had any impact on how she turned out, but her father was killed by the police at a fairly young age. She was the absolute worst person I've ever met. She once told us, "I drive a $40k car, I deserve a guy who treats me to X." She thought she was god's gift to humanity, it was absolutely disgusting.
Considering the cost of a new vehicle today, $40k is NOT an expensive vehicle.
It's definitely overused, just like the word "stalking". These words being overused makes light of people who have actually dealt with the real thing, and that annoys me to no end.
I had a woman in October 2014 call me every insult in the book. This engaged guy "Roberto" whom she thought was so fly and charming was a freakin' CREEP. He knew all the right things to say, that's for sure. He wouldn't stop hitting on her, like he was the only man in the room. Whatever..."married guy cheating" and stupid lady! The "one" who ALWAYS has your back is gone....
Yes, I myself am kind of like this. I've heard it from some people and I agree with them.
I feel like I have some narcissistic and sociopathic tendencies. It probably comes from being an only child and usually always getting my way. Back then I'd get my way with parents and family. Now I usually always get my way with women.
I'm not spoiled though. I do work hard for everything I have and have never had things handed to me, but my ability to charm people and get what I want is pretty impressive. I surprise myself sometimes at how good I can be.
I don't go for normal relationships anymore, they don't appeal to me. I like to hunt for women and get notches. I can do it with very little emotional attachment. It comes easy to me.
