Number 5: “What is love?” Or “Why do you love me?
What do you love about me?” It’s very difficult for a narcissist to answer this question because they don’t really have an understanding of love. They often confuse lust with love, and they definitely confuse infatuation with love. But these things aren’t love. These are things that fade away over time, and this confusion is why a narcissist will so early on profess their love to you because they think that that’s what love is, but it really isn’t.
And so, when you get into the stage where you actually might start to love someone for who they are, their flaws and all, that’s when the narcissist checks out because, without sufficient emotional empathy, it’s very difficult to have those deep, meaningful connections with other people.
They end up looking at relationships as very transactional, and unfortunately, because they don’t understand what love is, they don’t think anyone else does either. So, they think that everyone else views relationships in the same way that they do.

Number 6: “Why won’t you answer my question?”
If you’ve ever argued with a narcissist or if you’ve ever tried to ask them something that they’re hiding from you, you know how these conversations can go in circles. They run in circles. You will end up exactly where you started, or you will end up somewhere completely different, like on another planet.
And this is when you’ll usually encounter word salad; Word salad it’s essentially when a narcissist starts speaking nonsense. It has a different meaning outside of this context, but it does a good job of portraying the mix of things that you’ll get when you try to hold a narcissist accountable.
So, the reason why narcissists can’t answer these questions is because they don’t have the answers to them. There are, as far as they’re concerned, there are no answers. For example, love is a mysterious thing that no one understands, and they’re entitled to something just because they are.
When you ask some of these questions you might be met with frustration because they don’t have an answer for it, and especially if you’re asking them to have any sort of accountability, it’s going to irritate the narcissist, and they’re going to probably lash out at you for asking these questions that they can’t answer.
