​Narcissism is said to be present in the personalities of a subset of people. A Narcissist is thinking about themselves, their feelings, their wants, their desires.

Legal question: My BF is locked in jail, Interference With Emergency Communication. He did nothing at all!
Attorney Tricia Dwyer's answer: There will be written documents that describe what happened, and most often there will be audio and video. There may be one or more witnesses. For this problem, I urge your BF have good lawyer help, asap. In my work, I may privately confer with the person in jail, asap, and their family or friend arranges with me for that to happen.
