Defence sequences
The narcissist typically runs through a sequence of defenses to discharge painful feelings until he or she finds one that works:[7][8]
unconscious repression
conscious denial
distortion (including exaggeration and minimization) and lies
psychological projection (blaming somebody else)
enlisting the help of one or more of his or her codependent friends
who will support his or her distorted view.
Freudians
Freud did not focus specifically on narcissistic defenses,[9] but did note in On Narcissism how “even great criminals and humorists, as they are represented in literature, compel our interest by the narcissistic consistency with which they manage to keep away from their ego anything that would diminish it”.[10] Freud saw narcissistic regression as a defensive answer to object loss - denying the loss of an important object by way of a substitutive identification with it.[11]
Freud also considered social narcissism as a defense mechanism, apparent when communal identifications produce irrational panics at perceived threats to 'Throne and Altar'.....

All statistics are made up, there is not a perfect consensus on anything. There will always be uncertainty and errors made.
