What Happens When 2 Narcissists Are In A Relationship

Can Two Narcissists Fall In Love?

We cannot make an assumption that all narcissistic people cannot fall in love, as every person is different.

That being said, for the most part, two narcissistic people within a relationship may not be completely in love.

Two narcissists together tend to use the relationship as a transactional one. They both need the other to fulfill their needs of self inflation and self image.

They may feel infatuated by the other, as both will need to have their confidence boosted, and will need to feel praised constantly for their looks, achievements, and accomplishments. They will drive one another.

The majority of the time, the ‘love’ that they feel is the experience of having their own needs met by the other person. To a narcissist, a partner is an object rather than a person that will be used for their personal gain and benefit.

Two narcissists in a relationship is a power dynamic. They will both try to manipulate the other, and both will not accept that they are being manipulated because they think they are too intelligent or powerful to be manipulated by anyone else.

As long as both parties get what they want out of this transactional style relationship, it could go on for years.

However, narcissistic people struggle to give others praise and attention, as they require it all for themselves, so two narcissists in a relationship may not stay together long.

Narcissists are typically more drawn to those who have low self esteem, or those who are codependent, as they will be easily manipulated and controlled by the narcissist.

Like when narcissists are in relationships with emotionally stable people, if they no longer feel they are getting what they need from the relationship, they will typically discard it.

If you think you may be in a relationship with a narcissist, or if you believe you may have narcissistic personality disorder, then we urge you to speak to a counselor or therapist for help and support.

You will gain the tools to cope with narcissistic behavior, work on your self esteem, and have the opportunity to talk to someone openly without judgment.
