of narcissist. The idea that they don't is a popular myth.

NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER AND SUICIDE

There is a popular belief that “Narcissists rarely
commit suicide. When a Narcissist threatens to do this,
it’s generally as a means of manipulation” (Saeed
2014). However, studies suggest that NPD is associated
with suicidal behavior (Stone 1989, Links et al. 2003,
Heisel et al. 2007).

It's a good thing that over the past decade people have learned a lot about narcissism, but they still get some things wrong.
