Narcissists firmly believe in their own infallibility, dismissing alternative viewpoints and considering themselves superior to therapists, experts, and friends. They are unable to admit they might be wrong, creating a perpetual environment of conflict and using apologies as manipulative tools. Their unwavering self-assuredness leaves little room for personal growth and compromises, essential for healthy relationships. This trait is crucial for recognizing the futility of reasoning with a narcissist and the toll it takes on relationships.
Responsibility? Never Heard Of It
Narcissists avoid responsibility, preferring to spin lies. They deny their mistakes, blame-shift, and manipulate facts to evade accountability. This can be frustrating and maddening for their partners, leading to a breakdown in trust and a sense of powerlessness in the relationship.
Vulnerability Is A Weakness
Narcissists see vulnerability as a threat to their control and exploit their partners’ vulnerabilities, creating an atmosphere of fear and apprehension that impedes genuine intimacy and emotional connection.
