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.

What is the difference between a smug person and a narcissist?

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.

What is a benign narcissist?

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.
