The pathological narcissus can never really “enter the other”, “feel” with him, experience him in terms of “personality depth” or subjectivity abyss. All people in his surroundings fall into one of the following three categories: (1) The ideal other, those from whom he expects narcissistic recognition and who, in the pathological narcissus’s subjective economy, function as an extension of his own “big Ego” (as a rule, these are powerful, influential and famous individuals); (2) “enemies” or “conspirators” who represent a threat to his narcissistic affirmation; (3) the rest, the “crowd”, “puppets”, suckers who exist only to be used and abandoned
