| From left to right: narcissist and the grey man. |
I would not say that the grey man is a narcissistic, maybe he has some behaviours in common, but he does not have a narcissists main conduct.
The grey man has not the necessity of being admired by other people, as we know, he has no feelings and does not want to have strong relations with people.
Maybe being admired does not build a very strong relation between 2 people, but it is a strong sensation, and the grey man thinks it could be harmful for him. He also has not a big ego, he prefers his non-unhappiness state, where he feels comfortable.
While narcissists feel themselves superior and especial, the grey man feels himself a bit especial, not thinking about he is superior, but thinking that not many people can understand how he thinks (I don't say how he feels because the grey man does not want to have feelings).
About manipulating people for his own good, well, the grey man has no feelings, I am not sure if not having feelings implies not having morality. I would say that this would depend on who the grey man is. He does not feel empathy, will he feel remorses? Is he a psycopath? Probably, but I do not understand a psycopaths as killers or assassins, I understand them as people who do not appreciate other people emotionally.
The grey man is not narcissistic. The grey man has no feelings, narcissists love themselves, the grey man can not feel love, so he can not be a narcissist.
Note that at the photo they share a part of themselves.
