examples of npd romanticization
examples of this phenomena are situations where people use narcissism as a romantic thing. for example, if someone said that they date narcissists because of percieved posessiveness, that would be romanticization. the sexual version of this is fetishization
in which the same thing occurs but in a sexual manner. this romanticization happens a lot to cluster b's, a notorious example being how some people claim to want 'bpd girlfriends' due to the symptoms of bpd that include fps and abandonment issues.
a lot of the time when it comes to npd specific romanticization it will be stereotypes where narcissists are protective/posessive or others where narcissists are cold/uncaring. there have been cases of people uploading videos on how to 'destroy narcissists' that go through means of dating narcissists specifically to bruise their ego, which is dehumanizing and stereotypical with the notion that narcissists exist to be 'humbled' for an egotypicals pleasure.
