Narcissists think they’re perfect tho, doesn’t she seem to insecure? Or do you recon that’s an act to gain sympathy?
Well they have a sense of grandiose. They feel special and will do what ever they can to get their narc supply. Her putting up that middle finger pic probably gave her massive supply because she knew she would get a reaction from people, good and bad. Everyone in her life has a role to play in feeding her. You listen to how she talks about any of them and it's generally always how they make HER feel, the , kid, inch, the dog and ma.
This bit below is a quote from help guide site that briefly explains better than me as it's quite a big subject matter :-
Since reality doesn’t support their grandiose view of themselves, narcissists live in a fantasy world propped up by distortion, self-deception, and magical thinking. They spin self-glorifying fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, attractiveness, and ideal love that make them feel special and in control. These fantasies protect them from feelings of inner emptiness and shame, so facts and opinions that contradict them are ignored or rationalized away. Anything that threatens to burst the fantasy bubble is met with extreme defensiveness and even rage, so those around the narcissist learn to tread carefully around their denial of reality.
Obviously this is just my opinion of her and I am not here diagnosing her but it's what I think.
