Narcissist Never Intimate: Intimacy Signaling, Auto-intimacy, Hyporeflexivity @samvaknin

Uploaded May 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

The narcissist signals profound, intense intimacy early on. But this is a simulation. It is actually auto-intimacy.

Healthy people perceive the Self as an internal object. The narcissist sometimes externalizes it and then is capable of safe intimacy with it. But this can be done only via the mediation of an internal object that represents an external one.

Hyporeflexivity vs. hyperreflexivity.
