Narcissists easily shift blame A sense of superiority places them above others Must be the center of attention, constantly seeking approval, acknowledgment, kudos, accolades, praise Act like they are the lead character in all things in life Dominate conversations because they believe they have the only worthwhile things to say Want others to give into their demands, request for favors, and put their needs first Have inflated egos, inflated sense of entitlement, inflated sense of importance, inflated need to be center stage Envious of other people’s accomplishments and will steal, lie, or sabotage others to get attention back to the Envious of other people’s possessions, they will put such ownership down or minimize it to make themselves look more noble Search for constant approval and praise to reinforce their false grandiose sense of self, they’re “on- stage,” dominating the conversation, often exaggerating their importance (Since the self is so fragile — an ever crumbling construction of their ego) — use power, money, status, looks, supposed past glories (or supposed future glories) to boost their image See criticism as baseless attacks or betrayal and countered with cold-shoulder anger or rage or chilly stares or verbal attack. Can never accept blame. Others are always to blame. Feel being center of attention is good, right, and proper Have a grandiose sense of self-importance Think they are special, God-touched, or privileged Think they can only be understood by other special or high-status people . Have unreasonable expectation of favorable treatment✦ Believe they are beyond the rules. Laws do not apply to them and remorse is only felt when someone catches and confronts them. However they are upset over any inconveniences they suffer as a result of being busted. They believe they have the right to do what ever it takes to get short term gratification without suffering any consequences.” ~Lynne Namka
