In 'Pride and Prejudice', Mr. Collins can be seen as somewhat narcissistic. He is constantly full of self - importance, especially when it comes to his position as a clergyman. He believes that any woman should be honored to marry him, without really considering the feelings or personalities of those women. He is more concerned with how his marriage will look to others and boost his own status.

They are more focused on themselves and their own needs. They might interrupt others when they are talking to bring the attention back to themselves.
They can also cause plot twists. Consider a narcissistic character who is so confident in their own abilities that they make a huge miscalculation. This miscalculation can then change the direction of the story. In a mystery novel, a narcissistic detective might overlook important clues because he believes he is too smart to miss anything, which then leads to new developments in the mystery.
One common trait is low self - esteem. Since narcissistic mothers often put their own needs first and criticize their children, the survivors grow up feeling not good enough.

One narcissistic gay story could be about a guy who is always taking selfies and posting them on social media, thinking he's the most attractive in the gay community. He constantly flaunts his looks and new outfits, often ignoring the feelings of his more modest friends.
