Of course. This, by a wide margin, is their transcendent drive. Being celebrated envelops a couple of significant capacities: it invests the narcissist with power, furnishes him with a consistent Source of Narcissistic Supply (accolades, worship, endorsement, excitement), and satisfies significant Ego capacities.
The picture that the narcissist projects is flung back at him, reflected by those presented to his VIP or notoriety. This way he feels invigorated, his very presence is attested and he procures a vibe of clear limits (where the narcissist closes and the world starts).
There is a bunch of narcissistic practices commonplace to the quest for VIP. There is barely anything that the narcissist abstains from doing, basically no lines that he wonders whether or not to cross to accomplish prestige. As far as he might be concerned, there is nothing of the sort as “terrible exposure” what makes a difference is to be in the public eye.
Since the narcissist similarly appreciates a wide range of consideration and preferences as a lot to be dreaded as to be cherished, for example he wouldn’t fret if what is distributed about him isn’t factual.
