HPD - exaggerating relationships

by **bane_of_histrionics** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 10:06 am

This girl I suspect of being a HPD was at a house party.

When the time came for her to leave and to say good-byes, she went up to the people she'd met at the party. However, she began exchanging phone numbers with just about anyone, even if she'd just spoken to them for 1 minute [she didn't really mingle at the party: just stuck with 2 guys she knew].

Would this behaviour fall within the criterion "considers relationships to be more intimate than they really are"?

Do HPDs consider even people whom they've just met to be their friends?

That's embaressing for her. Yikes!
Worst part is, that is the tip of a muck larger ice berg.
The fact of considering relationships more intimate than they actually are is something embarressing and hurtful for an HPD to admit.
An HPD may be obsessed with someone who has no idea.
I mean they probly know the person exists due to "out there", but these ppl just cannot understand why the HPD seems so effected by them and what they do.
See HPDs don't do the whole, 'let's share our emotions and become close,' deal; which most ppl find necessary to become close. They feel close to ppl due to much smaller signs, even little flirtations from those they see as powerful. Thus, the awkward and inappropriate sense of closeness.

plus they consider ppl they just met no different than lifelong friends because they never 'emotionally' valued their lifelong friends; just a social security and narcissistic payoff (at times)
if the new person is willing to be a better payoff, which new aquaintances often are, they get bumped up in the HPDs mind to best friend status

Hmmm for me it's similar. I do exchange numbers at a drop of a hat, because i enjoy the whole exchanging moment. But then I don't ever call them, because they aren't worth it. If they call me I'll usually go out. But I don't pursue these things. I am actually quite an elitist when it comes to making friends. I only want to hang out with the creme de la creme (I'm not talking wealth, I'm talking real value intelligence, skill, and the like). I also prefer to hang around beautiful people (not a concious thing, just something I noticed). That and I posess an irrational hate for fat people, seeing them pisses me off.

Yeah sounds about right. I also just like the idea of being 'connected' to all of these useless people, or rather that they are connected to me.

Random question;

If you tell a Narcissist a complement with the aspect of which he derives his superiority from, will his smile be distinct in the sense that it can be recognized as a "Narcissistic smile"?

I've noted that NPDs, when smiling in response to a complement according to their superiority (Somatic, Cerebral, and anything else), have an odd tint to the smile. It seems... odd. Different. But I can't stick a pin on exactly what it is.

I don't like fat people either. Its my dirty little secret.

Can I trust you not to tell anyone?

Hmm, I don't consider myself to have very many HP traits but I too feel superior to many and also hate fat people. I was pretty much able to refine myself to "fit in" without being overbearing and needy but find myself pretty blank emotionally
