Did the N have any noticeable or odd Facebook habits?
I'm curious to know how the N in everyone's life related to or interacted with his Facebook page (if he had one). To me, it seems obvious that FB is a very valuable tool for a narcissist. They have complete control with who they are in contact with, the way they are portrayed, and can take inventory of other people/size themselves up to others, etc.
The x-Narc is in a way, obsessed with his page. He always talked about how he "hated" Facebook, yet spent so much time on it and cultivating his image through there, ESPECIALLY when he was in search or in need of supply. He doesn't have many friends on there (because he doesn't really know many people in real life), most of them are people he knew back in high school or college and casual acquaintances.
He has albums of professional pictures he has taken- he's doesn't model, act, or do anything that would warrant him having shirtless, posed, professional pictures taken a few times a year, so it's a bit awkward to see giant photo albums of his cheesy mug all over his page, but whatever. That's what narcs do, obviously.
Most of his status updates are one-liners, or jokes- obviously in search of a thumbs up or an "lol" to reassure himself that he's funny. Never anything of substance or pertaining to his daily life- it's ALWAYS some frivolous joke, and usually not even his own. We had added each other back after not being friends on FB for a while, and while looking through his old status updates, I saw he had taken a funny sentence I had written in an email to him and posted it VERBATIM as his own words. I never pointed it out to him because a. I didn't want him to know I was reading his old updates, and b. I'm actually a sensitive person and don't enjoy embarrassing people for fun.
When he's upset, the silent treatment goes to FB as well. He'll stop posting for a few days or ignore the person he's usually interacting with. He also gives very canned responses to people greeting him on his page- it's hard to read because it's so PHONY to me. "Hi Bob, how are you doing? We have to catch up some time! Don't be a stranger! :)" When in real life he doesn't give two craps about these people.
I could go on, but just wanted to know what other people's experiences were with the Narc re: Facebook. Does he have any consistent or weird habits with it?
