A narcissist utopia

What if we had an island or leper colony, of sorts, where all of us narcissists lived and could supply each other in exactly the way we wanted? Wouldn't that be amazing? Our fantasies wouldn't be crushed and we'd live in the bliss of thinking of ourselves as all-powerful, beautiful, perfect creatures.

The only problem would be is if we get into power struggles with each other, which of course is inevitable...

Too much competition for attention, that's what wouldn't make it work.

Ahh, great point. And Lord knows we, by definition, do NOT share attention/admiration, we covet, steal, and hoard it, constantly jealous and envious.

Ugh.

I hate being a narcissist! I was trying to find a positive, a place where we could exist and be "our(False)selves."

One comprised of Covert Narcs would work. I've put many hundreds of hours of aimless thinking into it. Maybe a some kind of retreat or second home financed by wealthy Coverts.

Isn't this an oxymoron? Are there any wealthy coverts, trust fund babies aside?

Oh yes. Do you want me to make a list? Apart from that billionaire from 50 Shades!!

All the descriptions I've read of "covert NPD", and by that I mean vulnerable NPD, are that we're crippled by our incredibly strict super-egos, insecurities, low self-esteem, and pathological self-doubt.

I guess maybe we're talking about two different constructs: covert NPD and vulnerable NPD might be two sides of the same coin. Vulnerable NPDers like me are deeply under-accomplished and harbor both inferiority and superiority complexes, hampering the realization of our narcissistic fantasies of grandiose accomplishment/achievement and admiration.

This is the best description of vulnerable/shy narcissism I've read: http://www1.appstate.edu/~hillrw/Narcis ... ssist.html

I'm a shy person too CNS. But you wouldn't believe it if you met me face to face. Because what you would be seeing would be my false self.

Can you briefly describe your False Self? Is the False Self describable? It doesn't really exist!

It's funny when people tell me who "I" am and what qualities they like. The only people that know me even 80% are my parents and my best friend. He thinks I'm a good person, which makes me feel somewhat decent since I've shared almost all of my evil, deranged, paranoid, angry thoughts with him.

I know at my core, I'm a funny/silly, smart, charming, empathic person. Beyond that, I don't really know who I am, and I don't show those qualities to the rest of the world nearly as much as I should.

I try to avoid other narcs and/and or psychopaths like the plague. If I hurt my feed, what would a narc and/or a psychopath do to me? Hurt me. I know it's a contradiction of sorts, but I don't want to be hurt.

I'd devour y'all. So, best I stay off your island.
