Are Narcissists especially attracted to learn NLP?

The reason he's falling for NLP is because it was developed by a bunch of really horny, EXTREMELY manipulative douchebags.

NLP CAN fulfill a very dire need of his - the need to be in control of social situations. You say he is impulsive and blurts the truth out. I'm sure this embarrasses him to no end. He wants to master himself and his weaknesses.

People who "fall" for these books, seminars and videotapes are generally average joes with deep pockets who are socially unsure. This is more of an aspergers thing than a narcissistic one.

Hello - it is odd to see your original question - my ex had BPD and strong NP traits. He always used to go on about NLP, much in the way your ex/partner seems to do.

I was searching BPD and NLP and found your question.

I have a theory - my ex seemed to try to use NLP to try to make up for his undeveloped emotional skills needed when dealing with healthy people in complex situations.

So my thoughts are the NLP is not for narcissistic supply per say - more probably a tool which he/she subconsciously understood would make up for any deficits in personality / EQ.
