Narcissistic twinning is a term used to describe a behavior that some people with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) may engage in, where they try to create a sense of closeness and similarity with another person by mirroring their behaviors and interests. This behavior is often used as a tactic to gain the trust and admiration of the other person, and to create a sense of connection and intimacy that may not actually exist.
Narcissistic twinning can accomplish a few things for the person with NPD. First, it can help them to gain the admiration and approval of the other person, which is something that many people with NPD crave. By mirroring the other person's behavior and interests, the person with NPD may be able to create a sense of connection and intimacy that allows them to feel valued and appreciated.
Second, narcissistic twinning can be a way for the person with NPD to control the other person. By mirroring their behavior and interests, the person with NPD may be able to manipulate the other person into doing what they want or giving them what they want. This can create a sense of power and control for the person with NPD, which can be very satisfying for them.
Overall, narcissistic twinning is a manipulative behavior that can be used by people with NPD to gain approval, control, and a sense of intimacy with others. It is important to recognize this behavior and set appropriate boundaries if you feel that someone is engaging in it with you.
