With genuine attachment to the words they are saying? No. But a narcissist can 'complement' someone they think of as 'special' or 'high status', (I.e., someone who is 'special' and 'unique' enough to understand 'special' and 'unique' them.) And a narcissist is capable of 'love-bombing' someone who is affiliated with someone who has 'crossed them' in some way such as causing narcissistic injury by pointing out reality to them in an effort to get the third party on their 'side.' Finally, narcissistic parents with multiple children typically have at least one 'golden child,' I.e., the child who they define as 'fine' because they meet the parent's emotional needs without question and without showing any needs of their own...The parent will sometimes lavish praise insincere praise on their 'golden child' to send a message to their other children and that message is this: 'See, I AM capable of being loving, just not to YOU.' Narcissistic parents also sometimes praise their children in public/around an audience. So yes, narcissists can show the behavior of complimenting someone else, but no, none of it is sincere...Like all of their actions it is a manipulation designed to ellicit a response in others, secure a resource for themselves, etc.
A narcissist cannot show appreciation. A narcissist is a person who looks at themselves as higher than others, or believing they can do any task better than others, so for a narcissist to show appreciation would be very odd.
depending on if your the narcissist or just someone around the narcissist..... if you are the narcissist dont worry it wont effect you. You will just continue on with your selfish ways and use people for what they can do for you. If your someone around the narcissist..... RUN- get out while you can. The only way to really survive is to not have them in your life
It's pretty similar in meaning. When someone is being smug, it means they are letting others know that they are better than them. Narcissistic feelings are when a person is in "love" with themselves. Smug has more to do with letting others know you are better than them. Narcissist is more of the feeling of greatness one has of themselves.

A Narcissist NEVER makes any mistakes. It is always the fault of another person is done TO him not BY HIM so that he will look to be at fault.
A benign narcissist is someone who achieves their self-serving goals in ways that don't damage other people. They don't typically try to use, exploit or control those around them for their own ends. A typical narcissist, however, works from the mindset of: "I win, and I don't care if you lose," or, "Your loss is my win." Everything with a typical narcissist is a zero sum game and they are impossible to have long term relationships with because they exploit the insecurities of others around them to feed their own egos.
