They:
- cannot stand being alone - 90% of their conversation includes complaining about, criticizing, or gossiping about someone else (including people they call "friends") - has to always have plans lined up, often months in advance - will routinely cancel plans if something better comes along - they'll line up plans and have backup plans so they're always social or doing something - has a hard time holding a conversation, and will drift out to "multitask on their phone - has cheated on a relationship, and says they still "live through" and revisits some of the hot experiences/conversations with the AP while trying to repair their marriage (partner never knew of affair) Would you say this person is a narcissist? If not, what would your armchair diagnose them with? |

No it sounds like a rigid extrovert.
A narcissist is always seeking praise and attention. This is the fundamental drive and desire. They present a grandiose personality so you will praise them. They use people and have an over the top sense of entitlement. They see boundaries or a no to anything they seek or ask for as an insult. An invitation is a summons not an offer with these types. They often gas light and will go out their way to rewrite the narrative. |

Not narcissistic.
Low self esteem. |

| No not at all. A narcissist is someone who only focuses and talks about themselves. They make everything and anything resolve around themselves and usually can't have feeling or empathy for others. Trump is a classic narcissist. |

| A person can be narcissistic without having a diagnosis of NPD. It’s hard to tell from your post what’s going on — sounds like garden-variety neurosis, self-absorption, lack of self-awareness, possible dependent personality? |

Not even close to a narcissist.
Selfish maybe. |

| In psychological terms, narcissism doesn’t mean self-love—at least not of a genuine sort. It’s more accurate to say that people with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) are in love with an idealized, grandiose image of themselves. And they’re in love with this inflated self-image precisely because it allows them to avoid deep feelings of insecurity. But propping up their delusions of grandeur takes a lot of work—and that’s where the dysfunctional attitudes and behaviors come in. |
