Often, her mate is the child of a narcissist, already indoctrinated to regard exploitation and disregard as love. Others lured by the narcissistic aura are those in whom healthy childhood exhibitionism has been repressed. If the parent puts the child to shame for showing off, the need for attention gets repressed into the unconscious.

The repressed adult may select an exhibitionistic mate to achieve vicarious satisfaction. Elan Golomb
