My mother was one, and so was the third ex.
A narcissist is self absorbed to the exclusion of almost all else. Other people, to narcissists, are only reflections of themselves.
If you have a narcissist in your life, and you are not PERFECT, or the narcissists idea of perfection, they will make your life miserable because they are so unhappy with your appearance or performance.
Unfortunately, their requirements can be about your physical appearance, your school performance if you are in school, or your earning power if you are working.
A narcissist will COMPARE you to those people in his or her life whom he or she believes are BETTER than you, and woe unto you if you don't surpass that ideal.
