Quora: Do malignant narcissists self-destruct?

Oh, boy, do they! Malignant Narcissists are adrenaline junkies, and perhaps other kinds of junkies, too. If there’s anything they like doing, then they’re gonna OVER-do—eat too much, drink too much, drug too much, spend too much, drive too fast, have lots of risky sex acts with multiple partners, absolutely! They want it all, they want it now, and they will not take NO for an answer. They don’t hear 'no' from others and they aren’t even able to tell themselves ‘no’. Narcissists have very little in the way of self-discipline or self-regulation. If owning one of something is good for everyone else, they’ll feel the need to own a dozen. One pill fixes your headache, so the narcissist will take 4.  One husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend is good for normal people, but the narc needs more! 

The tendency to over-do manifests in every area of their lives; coupled with a refusal to take responsibility for their actions and a deliberate blindness to consequences, the narcissist will eventually destroy or drive away everyone who cares about them, ruin their own health, lives, finances, and livelihoods, and eventually decompensate until they are no longer functional. Best to steer clear of the blast zone when the narc finally implodes. It’s not pretty.
