If you think two narcissists are going to cause maximum destruction together, you’d be right.
They are a powerful duo, capable of causing much damage on the path they walk…. And I mean to each other and the rest of the world.
There are reasons why they work, though. And by work, I don’t mean they’re all destined to live happily ever after…
…But they do enjoy dating each other.
Are you prepared to hear about how two huge egos can make it work?
You’d better hold on…
Is it Even Possible…?!
You’d be surprised!
Of course, yes, two enlarged egos can find each other attractive and successfully date…
…I didn’t promise the reasons wouldn’t be awkward though.
Does Forever Really Mean “Forever?”
Forever doesn’t really matter to narcissists. They can say it, because to them, ‘forever’ is just a word. That doesn’t mean they have to live by that; indeed, they understand that about each other.
When one narcissist leaves the other, you will find a lot of scorn and a great deal of unpleasant reactions. That’s not because they thought they’d be together forever, but mostly because they were the ones ‘dumped.’
There really is no love lost when two narcissists part ways, which for them, works really well.
Let’s Get To Those 9 Awkward Reasons Why Narcissists Enjoy Dating Other Narcissists!
1. Intimacy Can Be Something Silently Understood
Narcissists hate intimacy. They pretend to love it because it helps them get involved with their spouse. After all, there must be good things about them for the spouse to remain, right?
Narcissists are fleeting with their intimacy, and it tends to be that sex is where their comfort zone begins and ends. They aren’t afraid to bump with you, but they’re afraid of the post-sex conversations about love and the future you’re going to start up.
That’s why two narcissists work when they are together – the latter tends to not exist.
Sex starts and ends, and then it’s business as usual. Their equally shallow views on life compliment each other during times like this – and as awkward as it is – they enjoy that!
2. Two Egos Joining Forces
Who has the biggest head?
Hey! They both do!
Can you imagine the destruction that one ego has, then double it?!
People had better take cover!
Nothing is high quality or pleasant about two egos in the same room. They openly compete and become in competition with each other, but that’s how it works for them.
Nobody else really gets a look in. People go truly unnoticed because it’s just about the two main characters.
3. To Make Them Look Good
Oooh, look, another person who loves the finer things in life.
What a great trophy this person would make on my arm.
They have it all – and even if it’s fake – they pretend well!
Narcissists love having each other on their arms, especially when they are out. They love to impress separately so when together, they really do make each other look good.
Little do they know how much they equally suck all the positive energy out of the room…
4. Their Material Lives Blow UP
Narcissists are equally as obsessed with owning the best of everything as each other. If it’s not the hottest kitchen appliances they can brag that they have, it’s the newest car or the vacation on the most envied airline.
It goes beyond showing off. Narcissists’ material lives make up most of their image. They think that people will associate that greatness with their character if they have great stuff.
You heard me right.
Narcissists are shallow enough to think the two correlate.
As narcissists usually fight to be first, if you have two narcissists dating, they come as one, and will compete as one.
5. “Look At Us” – The Power Couple
Without being involved with another, narcissists love people looking at them.
Check me out, I have so much going for me.
Look at what I can do in the world!
Look at all my connections, people I know, places I have links to.
Combine this with the ego of another narcissist, and you will definitely be watching two people be even more powerful together.
Anybody not in that bubble of toxicity will be made to feel less than. On the outside, it really does appear that they live in their own world, and we are all merely ticket holders to see the show.
6. Two Wrongs Somehow Make a Right – For Now
I find it strange to think that two wrongs make a right because, in essence, they don’t. Two people who destroy and intend on doing so shouldn’t suddenly become angelic – and they don’t.
However, they work together, even just for a short while. I don’t want to assume that all narcissists, when dating each other, always break up – but they mostly do.
You simply cannot sustain two huge egos in one relationship forever – it’s not even healthy when one is in a relationship!
But initially, yes, there are sparks, even fireworks. And it works for a little while.
7. Fireworks!
Speaking of fireworks – I think this reason needs a category all by itself!
When two narcissists meet and decide to date, it’s usually down to one thing – passion. They know exactly how to please the other, and things will likely be spicy and fiery.
It’s what narcissists know how to do well, and in doing so, they’re kind of canceling out their insecurities, albeit temporarily, with a lot of physical closeness
8. A Reflection Of Themselves
Narcissists are familiar with other narcissists in the sense that they see them as reflections of themselves.
It’s that familiarity they feel they can handle and deal with on a daily basis, and it’s what keeps many of the relationships floating above water.
Neither narcissist wants to raise subjects like insecurities or promises for the future. They both know how uncomfortable that makes them feel – so it’s always avoided.
You can see why they really work for the space of time they do!
However, that’s one mirror I don’t wish to own!
9. Blissfully Unaware of The Dramatic Ending
Narcissists don’t look ahead. If anything, they only look to the past, which is where all their grudges originated!
There will always be a dramatic ending when two narcissists part ways, but they aren’t thinking about that right now.
They only care about the present moment and how much they’re getting from supplying each other.
The lack of worry that it will end often means the relationship thrives more…
…Until it burns out!
