The oldest narcissist I knew was 99 years old when she passed. She lived her entire life being a completely selfish, self-centered, bossy, bullying know-it-all.
I suppose it was easier for her once she went deaf because then she really couldn’t hear anyone and perhaps had an excuse for the nonstop talking about herself, what she wanted, her memories, her life, etc.
It is kind of sad, because she lived through many historical events that would have been interesting to learn about from someone who actually saw or experienced them first-hand but all of her stories were boring interpersonal nonsense about what she wore to this or that thing when she got an award or who brought what jello salad to her party, complaints and grudges about people long dead, or whatever. She stayed mentally sharp and physically fairly healthy until the very end. Unlike many narcissists who die alone in a care facility with no friends or family, she had a codependent family caregiver for the duration.
