Does narcissistic people appear to be selfless, giving,caring,helpful,and generous?my husbands mother said he was narcissistic,but i'm confused.

Narcissistic: Dear Member33, Narcissistic personality features include a pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), excessive need for admiration, lack of empathy for others, arrogance, and interpersonal exploitation. These features are very different from helpful, caring, generous, etc.

Narcissism: The hallmark of a narcissist is an immense ego, grandiosity, and self-importance, as well as being entitled, and a tendency to use and objectify others as well as thinking of people in all-good or all-bad terms instead of shades of gray. The core of a narcissist is profound insecurity. Narcissists often tend to think they are amazing, but others may not agree.
