Why does a person with 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.
