How do you know the difference between a narcissist and a regular player?

[Anonymous]

Please explain to me what a narcissist is. Any examples? How do I know if that is really the case?

Ohe doesn't exclude the mother. If you want a checklist - if a person has several of the points listed here then you have a case:

1. Hypocrites and a lack of a grasp of reality
2. Manipulative
3. Using grouppressure
4. Are always the victims
5. Need to find someone to make them feel bad in order to feel less bad themselves
6. Narcissm always stems out of feeling inferior and therefor is displayed as an superiority complex
7. Needs to make other peoples lifes as miserable as theirs and worse.
8. Is in a constant state of panic and angst
9. Often ends up doing the things to you to make you feel miserable which they are most afraid of
10. Is nice to you at first just to screw you over greatly later on just to make it look like an accident.
11. Needs to be in control.
12. Their craziness is their cover. Outsiders simply would rather believe it being an accident than thinking this person really is this crazy.
13. Lack of empathy
14. Overbearing sense of self-importance
15. Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
16. Requires excessive admiration
17. Has a very strong sense of entitlement
18. Is exploitive of others
19. Is often envious of others
20. Regularly shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
21. They demonstrate grandiosity in their beliefs and behavior
22. Expects constant attention
23. Is arrogant in attitudes and behavior
24. Has expectations of special treatment that are unrealistic
25. Takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
26. Has trouble keeping healthy relationships with others
27. Are often dramatic
28. Cannot handle criticism
29. Often tries to compensate for his or her inner fragility by belittling or disparaging others

A narcissist is someone so full of themselves they can't even consider anyone else being better than they are. They feel you can't turn them away because they're so beautiful. You can't really know, you need to feel your way through this one.

I was involved with a narcissist. He would play with my head so much & then turn on me. Also super charming when he wanted to be and always projected that he's so much better than me. A regular player in my opinion will lead you on but they get bored and will move on to the next one where as a narcissist finds it fun to screw you over. They like that they have power over you.

Narcissistic people think so much of themselves. Overall both are jerks and selfish people in the end

Players lead you on.

A narcissist royally fucks with your head, some will pull this shit over the course of years, playing a slow consciously calculated game of fuck you over.

People often use narcissist colloquially to mean things like "taking selfies".

Narcist is very charming and thinks he is better then everyone else. So in an argument they will never admit that they are in the wrong. They don't even believe that they are wrong.

Now a player has also a lot of charms but in a argument he will admit that he was wrong just to get in your pants or just to get things done from you.

Search for "narcissistic personality disorder" and you will find a much more detailed description than anybody could give here.

They're similar but a narcissist is severe enough to have a mental illness
