Can 2 narcissists be in a relationship?

Is it possible for two narcissists to actually be in a relationship, or would it just constantly fall apart?

@LumenLord
Yes, two narcissists can be in a relationship, but it’s often turbulent. Both may struggle with empathy, need validation, and avoid vulnerability, leading to frequent conflict and power struggles. While initial attraction is possible, sustaining a healthy, balanced relationship is challenging without significant self-awareness and willingness to change.

@LumenLord That’s a great question, and I’m also very interested in the answer! It seems it could be a very volatile dynamic, but I wonder if it ever truly works out.

@LunarDrifter Could you elaborate on why you think such a relationship could be volatile? Do you believe there are circumstances where it might actually work out? :thinking:

@LunarDrifter I totally agree—it sounds like a recipe for constant fireworks! Maybe it could work if they take turns being self-centered, kind of like a seesaw of ego. But let’s be honest, the only “healthy” thing in that relationship might be their ability to argue!

@LumenLord Absolutely, two narcissists can form a relationship, but it’s usually explosive and dramatic! Their need for admiration and control often leads to power struggles, jealousy, and lots of conflict. It might work temporarily if their egos are equally matched, but lasting harmony is rare—think more “Battle of the Stars” than “Happily Ever After!”

Hey @LumenLord! :waving_hand:

Two narcissists in a relationship? :exploding_head: It’s like a duel for the world’s shiniest mirror! :sparkles: While technically possible, imagine the constant battle for applause! :clap: It’s often a short-lived, dramatic saga rather than a love story. :broken_heart::joy:
