A shared fantasy is sort of like Disneyland. But why is she capable of producing a reaction of prolonged grief? The reason is that shared fantasy is actually similar to trance or pseudo-hypnosis.

How does a narcissist create addiction in an intimate partner? He idealizes it and then allows the intimate partner to form an emotional attachment to the idealized image of himself. So it's just a form of self-love. Therefore, when an intimate partner falls in love with a narcissist, he does not fall in love with the narcissist, because the narcissist is unknowable. A narcissist is simply a quantity of something that one cannot fall in love with. The intimate partner falls in love with the image idealized by the narcissist. The narcissist gives access to an idealized image and then allows one to be in contact with his idealization and this is excellent. You just fall in love with yourself.

When you are in fantasy, you are God.

Hate complements fear, and narcissists like to be feared. This fills them with an intoxicating feeling of omnipotence.

Quote in English

People make tens of billions of dollars from addiction treatment.

Addiction is a fantasy.

Fantasy protection is protection from bad things.

To “be recognized” as a perverted narcissist, you must STRIVE to be in a relationship with the narcissist, despite the abuse committed against you. You must ACTIVELY seek a relationship with a narcissist and ONLY a narcissist, no matter what your past experiences (bitter and traumatic) have been. You should feel EMPTY and UNSATISFIED in relationships with ANY OTHER type of person. Only in this case, provided that you meet other diagnostic criteria for Dependent Personality Disorder, can you safely be called a “perverted narcissist.”

The covert narcissist often feels guilt and shame for socially disapproved aggressive urges and desires. Accordingly, he is shy and modest, and very self-critical (perfectionist). This internal conflict between an overwhelming sense of worthlessness and a grandiose False Self leads to mental discord and anxiety disorders. He teams up with a classic narcissist (see below), but secretly becomes resentful and envious of him.

The covert narcissist is different: he suppresses his true self because he is not confident enough to assert himself. This is his unconscious choice: he cannot refuse it. The covert narcissist is his own harsh critic.

Ultimately, people strive to please and obey. So it doesn't matter how bad it has been so far. You can reverse this train by making new statements about yourself, loudly protesting the previous version, becoming someone else and making yourself known to everyone. And, lo and behold! You will miraculously become someone else. People will start respecting you and stop insulting you. They will seek out your company and help you achieve your goals. It's completely up to you. So, get to work!

People look at you the same way they look at the Internet or television. You are entertainment for the vast majority of people. And they are stupid as night, and are unable to distinguish reality from fantasy, reality from delusion, reality from delusion, or reality from conspiracies.

The vast majority of people are brainless and dumb as rocks. Yes, I just offended a lot of rocks. People are like chimpanzees. You can convince people of the most outlandish and contradictory facts and statements about themselves.
