The False Self is a decoy, it "attracts the fire". It is a proxy for the True Self. It is tough as nails and can absorb any amount of pain, hurt and negative emotions. By inventing it, the child develops immunity to the indifference, manipulation, sadism, smothering, or exploitation in shortto the abuse inflicted on him by his parents (or by other Primary Objects in his life). It is a cloak, a Harry Potterlike contraption, protecting the narcissist and rendering him invisible and omnipotent at the same time.
