Number 4: Narcissists have a hard time forgiving themselves.
Rather than being motivated by self-love, a narcissist is often driven by a deep-seated hatred of who they are. However, it is commonly held that the victim should forgive the abuser rather than the other way around. Narcissists have to go through the pain of forgiving themselves. One of the two ways they deal with grief is by avoiding the subject. Either they dismiss the information as unimportant to their feeling of self-worth, or they add it to the mental inventory of things they’d rather keep secret.
It’s quite improbable that a narcissist will be able to tell the other apart. When you know what to expect from a narcissist, all you see is a hollow Persona. Because they lack a soul, they care nothing about anyone, not even themselves. Narcissists don’t care about forgiving others since their egos get in the way. They’ll never stop trying to hurt people because they’re obsessed with breathing in the toxins that other people release.
Number 5: Narcissists live in their own parallel universe.
The charisma and attractiveness of narcissists are undeniable. They have perfected the art of developing a sympathetic character through the use of a dramatic account of abuse or neglect. We appreciate their apparent self-assurance and drive. If we have a low opinion of ourselves, the sales pitch will seem more compelling.
They want us to believe that they can give us a sense of significance and vitality, but this is a trap. Self-absorbed individuals like narcissists can create interesting characters and plots. Personal stories of achievement, bravery, and even selflessness will captivate you. Things were different then, as you will see when you look back. If you peel back the layers, you’ll realize that these fantasies are what prevent them from realizing how hollow their lives really are.
This makes it simple to discount or explain away conflicting views or perspectives. The narcissist becomes defensive, if not hostile, in the face of any threat to his or her carefully crafted worldview. Everyone around them will learn to carefully avoid them because of their intransigence in refusing to acknowledge reality.
