How is he a narcissist?
Um...he sees things from his point of view only and gives his roomate and friends a hard time when they want to do something he dislikes. He's very narcisstic. Not to mention he's referred to himself as more evolved than most people. I lived with a female version of sheldon last year...that wasn't fun. :/
Not sure if that is egotistical or narcissistic but I've seen narcissists before and they actually thrived off of hurting people instead of not understanding that their blunt point of views were hurtful. He comes across as someone if you explained that it was hurtful he wouldn't sit there and attempt to hurt you more or degrade you on purpose.
That sounds more like a sadist than a narcissist. >.>
Sometimes Narcissists have a sadistic streak.
Take for example if you have a narcissistic mother or father, you've probably suffered alot of emotional abuse from someone you are supposed to trust. You can't tell a narcissist much about yourself or life without the narcissist using it against you later and turning it into an insult. Narcissism isn't just ego or thinking too highly of yourself. It can be a sadistic/masochistic toxic relationship. On one hand, you notice the narcissist puts on a good face when around certain people and these people would never believe that person could be that cruel.
If you are a child with different needs, your parent is only nice to you around their friends or co-workers but when at home, you aren't treated so nicely.
If you're interested in reading about what it's like to be a daughter of a narcissistic mother, this is a good example. Then you can look up the traits. I've been around so many narcissists and have dealt with their behavior that I know narcissism is beyond just "DAMN I'M GREAT! I'm SMARTER THAN YOU!" These people degrade you, insult you and take pleasure from it. Then they change up the events to drive you crazy insisting that you didn't remember it correctly. Then it just didn't happen at all! You're just making stuff up. That is called gaslighting. Narcissists aren't the only ones who do that though.
People who think narcissism is only about self absorption may find themselves thinking of someone with aspergers as being a narcissist but that is because they don't understand that it's not really about that at all.
