Do narcissistic men / women like being alone and is it hard for them to take breaks from relationships?

Some narcissists [i]claim to be loners[/i] or introverts as a cover for training their supply to give them space at certain times. It’s lowering your expectations. Having space, in itself, is never a problem. It’s healthy and normal. But nothing about a narcissist is normal.

I think this fits "the covert" narc more.
Covert is like a spy, means silent, under the radar.

They don’t want love, they want attention.
They don’t really care about falling in love or commitment or intimacy, they like the chase, they like the attention, they like the validation they get when they’re admired or complimented. [i]That’s why their relationships are all short-lived, not serious or one-sided because they’re not looking for anything deep.[/i] They just want the reassurance that they can get anyone they want.

@SW-User This makes a whole loot of sense

@Ladyofemotions Yup and they claim they want intimacy and closeness but they can't stand the test of time, cause it's rooted in shallow egotism I think

No, narcissistics 'thrive' off victimization - both playing victim and being aggressor.

They don't like being alone because that is boring and there is no one to resent blame and control.

a narcissist is never alone, for he/she can always turn to themselves for love and adoration.

The opposite, for first question.
Right, for the second one. But it´s hard for them for the wrong reasons.

The same can be also said for women

@nedkelly yes, women too.

They need supply. They only like being alone when it suits them to leave you alone by ignoring you. When they get rid of one supply they will inevitably find a new supply and then they will work hard to triangulate you.

@JaggedLittlePill 😕. I see. The guy I left for good reason asked me if He's "supposed to be alone?" I don't necessarily want to call him a narc but after he lied n stuff I don't know...

@Ladyofemotions that's a manipulation tactic. Doesn't necessarily mean he is a narc though.
