A person having no friends can be a result of narcissism, but it can also have a lot of other reasons.
Narcissistic and antisocial people usually don't feel much and kind of feel more (alive) as a result of what's called narcissistic supply (things that make them feel important/special/needed).
The last thing can be a result of being judged in a positive way based on comparisons, so it was good, because it was better than..., something that's also often a part of narcissism.

I see your point... Well narcissism also has a spectrum, some people meet the criteria in a much higher grade than others do... Not all of them are the same. He might be in the lower edge of it...
Now I am even more confused, because he found many reasons to praise me, but also many reasons not to... And also he found many aspects to agree in some of my thoughts, but in many others no... And when I said no in some things he said "Okey, I don't expect people to do that", although he might have said it because I left away after certain things...
The only sure thing is that he is a super judgemental person with the human kind in general, which is a sign, and also has a mania with perfection in everything which is a sign also. He meets many on the narcissism criteria, just not in the higher grade possible.
I am not concerned about having him in my life, I am concerned if there is any hope for him to get out of this situation, cause it is very painful for him also... I am sorry for these people. Their soul has been totally abused, when they were kids obviously...
Do you think he might just be a veeeeery egoistic person?
