Why does the person with a narcissistic personality disorder have many "friends" but few
intimate relationships?
What will be an ideal response?
People with narcissistic personality disorder overestimate their own accomplishments and
underestimate others'. They need friends to gain admiration and seem important, but they
eventually see others as stupid or unworthy and reject them. Relationships do not last long
because others become tired of the narcissistic person's lack of consideration.
