FB

Hmmmm.... My ex Assclown Narc not only has a FB page but he has one for the Fedora Hat he wears. It was his signature "look" to wear that fucking clown hat EVERYWHERE and I always found it really bizzare that a man who used to tell me he wasn't into Facebook, had a "fan" page for his hat for his vast collection of supply.

I don't think Hunter

I don't think Hunter necessarily agrees with the article. She finds it or the study interesting. As the article states, it is in the early stages of the study. It will really probably take years before a determination can be made on the possibility one way or the other. I do agree that narcs use social sites, like facebook, as well as dating websites. Oh, and let's not forget porn sites as well! Me, I am on Facebook, as well as many other people. I am and have always been a " social butterfly". Being on the head of my reunion committee for my high school class, I have found Facebook to be an extremely helpful tool. I have reconnected with so many people that I have known throughout my lifetime. Some old friends, long lost relatives, mere acquaintances. And am always happy to catch up on the lives of others, see how they have lived their lives, view pictures of their children, grandchildren, etc. And also, to give and receive daily greetings, inspirations, funny little tidbits. In the crazy busy world that we live in today, where people work longer hours, are running in ten different directions with their families and various responsibilities, we have lost the social connection in our daily lives. People come home from a long day at work, pull into their garage and enter their home through the garage door, never having time to stop, greet their neighbor, wave hello to the mailman, stop off at a friends house on their way home to share their day.............social networking, in my opinion, has saved the world from continuing to develop into a " me" society. It enables people to stay or re-establish connections that they would have otherwise not. Maybe this study may find the opposite of what they are suspecting. Maybe social networking has actually saved our society from becoming the lone narcissist, that society created in the first place. My food for thought..................and I have to agree with Hunter, very interesting indeed.

I have to disagree with this

or maybe mine was different. Whatever, he was so mistrustful that he opened a FB account under a fake name, with a fake birthday, and the photo of a wailing baby. So for months he only had one friend - me - and since he recently unfriended me, he has no friends. So if you check out his facebook account, there`s just this picture of a wailing baby, with a big "0" under number of friends. I pee my pants laughing when I see that, it`s so telling.

Don´t think so, Finally

He was like that in other ways too. Fundamental mistrust fucked up a lot of what he might have had. He wasn`t really into women, either - just into supply. Frustrating women was more his thing than *****ing them, I think. More cerebral than somatic, prefers a safe little woman sitting at home waiting for him to adventures anywhere except in his imagination. Scaredy-cat narc, if there is such a thing. Supply, yes. But very scared about any kind of commitment. Thanks for feedback all the same.

Interesting article, but I

Interesting article, but I hesitate to view my narc's FB as any indication of him having NPD. He does very little on FB, seldom posts photos or status updates. Seldom comments on or likes other peoples' photos or updates. This article would lead me to ponder that he may NOT be a narc, which in itself dangerously leads me back to that ounce of doubt which kept me stuck for way too long - believing he was 'normal' and I was the one who was to blame for the demise of our R and why he 'had' to leave. Now, there are OTHER people I know on FB who are exactly how this article describes... but I don't think they are NPD, just full of themselves.

Journey on...

The xN rarely used his FB

The xN rarely used his FB page either...I find that those people who have had to establish a pattern of finding supply the old fashioned way...real-life stalking...don't really warm up to cyber-stalking. Narcs are creatures of habit after all and it makes sense they would continue to do what works for them. Mine used his job to find women...either he would date waitresses he'd meet while he worked midnights, get into relationships with other cops, or in my case, pick up a girl he met after responding to a call she placed to 911. To this day, I feel like he violated a public trust by seeking out someone who was as emotionally vulnerable as I was after calling the police to deal with an intruder in my building. He was supposed to protect me...not pursue me. Note the article really addresses narcs of the college-age set. Most of ours established their patterns before social media took off.

Good article Hunter

Thanks for posting that. I think another sign is how many photos they have uploaded (of themselves). Mine uploaded literally hundreds, and eighty percent of them were pictures she took of herself with her cell phone camera. wtf?
